Our Commercial Roofing Services
We focus on durable roofing solutions that protect businesses from costly damage. Our work covers new roof installations, replacements, ongoing care, and urgent repairs to keep buildings safe and functional.
Flat Roof Installation
We install flat roofs designed for commercial buildings of all sizes. Our team works with materials like TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen to provide a strong surface that resists leaks and stands up to heavy use.
Flat roofs require precise installation to prevent pooling water and early wear. We use proven methods such as proper slope design and high-quality sealing to extend the life of the roof.
We also help property owners choose the right system based on budget, building type, and energy needs. A properly installed flat roof can lower cooling costs and reduce maintenance needs.
Commercial Roof Replacement
When a roof reaches the end of its life, replacement is often the most cost-effective choice. We remove old materials, inspect the structure, and install a new system that meets current building codes.
We handle replacements for warehouses, offices, retail centers, and industrial facilities. Our process includes careful planning to reduce downtime and limit disruption to daily operations.
We also provide guidance on selecting long-term materials that balance durability, energy efficiency, and maintenance requirements. This helps business owners avoid repeat issues and protect their investment.
Roof Maintenance Programs
Regular maintenance prevents small issues from turning into expensive repairs. We offer scheduled inspections and upkeep plans tailored to each building.
Our maintenance services include:
- Checking for leaks and weak spots
- Cleaning drains and gutters
- Repairing flashing and seams
- Inspecting roof membranes and coatings
These programs extend the life of the roof and reduce emergency calls. We keep detailed records of each visit so owners know the exact condition of their roof.
Emergency Roof Repairs
Unexpected damage can stop business operations and cause property loss. We provide 24/7 emergency repair services to handle leaks, storm damage, and structural issues.
Our technicians arrive quickly to assess the problem and apply immediate fixes to prevent further damage. We then plan follow-up work to restore the roof to full strength.
We focus on safety and speed during emergencies. By stabilizing the roof and protecting the interior, we help businesses avoid costly downtime and protect valuable equipment and inventory.
Types of Commercial Roofing Systems
We install and maintain several proven commercial roofing systems that balance cost, durability, and performance. Each option offers unique advantages depending on the type of building, budget, and long-term maintenance needs.
TPO Roofing
TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane that is heat-welded at the seams. This creates a strong, watertight bond that resists leaks. We often recommend TPO for buildings that need a cost-effective and energy-efficient system.
The white reflective surface helps reduce cooling costs by lowering heat absorption. This makes it a popular choice in warm climates like Long Beach. TPO is also resistant to UV rays, punctures, and chemical exposure.
Maintenance is simple because the membrane is lightweight and easy to repair. With proper care, TPO roofs can last 15–20 years. For property managers who want a balance of affordability and performance, TPO is a reliable option.
EPDM Roofing
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane. It is known for its flexibility and ability to handle temperature changes without cracking. We often recommend EPDM for larger commercial roofs that need long-term durability.
This system is available in both black and white finishes. Black EPDM absorbs heat, which can help reduce heating costs in cooler months. White EPDM reflects sunlight, making it better for buildings that want to keep cooling costs down.
EPDM is installed using adhesive, ballasting, or mechanical attachment. It has fewer seams than other systems, which lowers the risk of leaks. With proper upkeep, EPDM roofs often last 25–30 years.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-Up Roofing, also called BUR, is one of the oldest commercial roofing systems. It uses multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics to create a thick, durable surface. We recommend BUR for buildings that need strong protection against heavy foot traffic or harsh weather.
A BUR system is finished with a top layer of gravel or a reflective coating. This protects the roof from UV damage and adds fire resistance. The layered design also provides excellent waterproofing and insulation.
Because of its weight, BUR requires a strong roof structure. Installation takes longer than single-ply systems, but the result is a long-lasting roof that can perform well for 20–30 years with regular maintenance.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified Bitumen is like BUR but uses sheets of asphalt-based material reinforced with fiberglass or polyester. It combines the durability of traditional roofing with easier installation methods. We often recommend this system for smaller commercial roofs.
Modified Bitumen can be installed using heat, cold adhesives, or self-adhering sheets. This flexibility makes it suitable for different building needs. The material resists tearing and handles foot traffic better than many single-ply systems.
It also offers good waterproofing and can be coated for added UV protection. With proper care, Modified Bitumen roofs typically last 20 years or more, making them a dependable and cost-effective choice.
Industries We Serve
We focus on providing roofing solutions that match the needs of different types of properties. Our team understands that each industry requires specific materials, designs, and maintenance plans to keep operations running without interruption.
Retail and Shopping Centers
We install and maintain roofing systems that protect stores, restaurants, and entertainment spaces from leaks and weather damage. A safe and reliable roof helps protect merchandise, equipment, and customer areas.
Our work often includes flat roof membranes, reflective coatings, and drainage systems that reduce standing water. These features help extend roof life and lower energy costs.
We also schedule maintenance that avoid disrupting business hours. This keeps customers comfortable and allows property managers to focus on tenant needs instead of roof problems.
Industrial Facilities
Industrial buildings need roofs that can handle heavy equipment, ventilation systems, and constant exposure to heat or chemicals. We design solutions that support these conditions and reduce the risk of costly downtime.
We often recommend single-ply membranes, metal roofing, or built-up systems for these facilities. These materials provide durability and resistance to wear from machinery or rooftop traffic.
Our team also focuses on safety during installation and repairs. We follow strict procedures to protect workers and ensure compliance with local codes.
Office Buildings
Office properties require roofing that balances function with appearance. A well-maintained roof helps preserve the building’s value and provides a professional environment for tenants and employees.
We install energy-efficient systems that improve insulation and reduce cooling costs, which is important in Long Beach’s warm climate. We also provide regular inspections to identify minor issues before they turn into larger repairs.
Our service plans include clear reports and straightforward recommendations. This helps property managers make informed decisions while staying within budget.
Our Roofing Process
We follow a clear process that focuses on accuracy, planning, and skilled work. Each step helps us deliver roofs that meet safety standards, last longer, and fit the specific needs of each property.
Comprehensive Roof Inspections
We begin with a full inspection to understand the current condition of the roof. Our team checks for leaks, weak areas, drainage issues, and signs of wear. This step helps us identify both visible and hidden problems.
We use tools and careful observation to measure roof slope, look at seams, and test for moisture. By gathering detailed information, we can recommend the right solution instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
To make it clear for property owners, we provide a written report that includes:
- Findings: Issues we discovered
- Photos: Visual proof of roof conditions
- Recommendations: Repair or replacement options
This process gives building owners the facts they need to make informed decisions.
Detailed Project Planning
After the inspection, we create a project plan that outlines the scope of work, materials, and timeline. We match roofing systems to the building type, climate conditions, and budget.
We also prepare a step-by-step schedule so property managers know what to expect. This includes start dates, estimated completion, and any necessary safety measures.
Our planning covers:
- Material selection based on durability and energy efficiency
- Work schedule that reduces downtime for businesses
- Safety protocols to protect workers and occupants
By addressing these details early, we reduce delays and avoid unexpected costs during installation.
Professional Installation
Our crews handle installation with attention to detail and adherence to industry standards. We use trained roofers who follow manufacturer guidelines to make sure warranties remain valid.
We install insulation, membranes, and flashing in the correct order to prevent leaks and extend roof life. Each step is checked for quality before moving forward.
We also keep the job site organized and safe. This means clear communication with property managers, daily cleanup, and minimal disruption to business operations.
When the project is complete, we perform a final walkthrough and confirm that all work meets the agreed specifications.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
We focus on roofing systems that help lower energy use and support long-term building performance. Our goal is to provide options that reduce heat buildup, improve insulation, and make commercial spaces more cost-effective to maintain.
Cool Roofing Solutions
We install cool roofing systems designed to reflect sunlight and absorb less heat. This helps lower rooftop temperatures, which can reduce the demand on air conditioning systems during hot weather.
Cool roofs often use light-colored coatings or reflective membranes. These materials are durable and require minimal upkeep while still providing measurable energy savings.
For many commercial buildings in Long Beach, cool roofing can also extend the life of HVAC equipment by reducing strain caused by high indoor temperatures.
We recommend cool roofing for businesses that want a practical way to cut energy costs without changing the structure of the building. It is a straightforward upgrade that can deliver both comfort and efficiency.
Green Roofing Options
We also provide green roofing systems that use vegetation to cover flat or low-slope surfaces. These systems help manage stormwater, improve insulation, and create natural cooling effects.
A green roof can reduce heat transfer through the roof deck, which supports more stable indoor temperatures. It also helps limit the urban heat island effect in dense areas of Long Beach.
Green roofs require more planning and maintenance than cool roofs, but they offer added benefits. These include improved air quality, extended roof lifespan, and in some cases, usable outdoor space for employees or visitors.
We guide our clients through the design and installation process to ensure the system meets both performance and maintenance needs. This makes green roofing a strong option for businesses committed to long-term sustainability.
Safety Standards and Compliance
We place a strong focus on meeting all legal requirements and maintaining safe work environments. Our team follows strict regulations that protect both our workers and your property.
Adherence to Local Building Codes
We comply with all Long Beach building codes to ensure every project is approved for both safety and functionality. These codes set rules for roofing materials, installation methods, and structural requirements. By following them, we help prevent issues like leaks, drainage problems, or structural failures.
Our process includes permits, inspections, and documentation for each project. We coordinate with local authorities to confirm that all standards are met before, during, and after construction. This reduces the risk of delays or costly corrections later.
We also stay updated on code changes. Roofing codes can change because of new materials or updated safety research. By keeping current, we make sure your roof meets today’s standards and remains in compliance for years to come.
OSHA Safety Practices
We follow OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines to protect our crew and maintain safe job sites. These rules cover fall prevention, equipment use, and proper training. On commercial and flat roofs, fall protection is one of the most important safety steps we take.
Our team uses harnesses, guardrails, and safety lines when required. We also provide training on ladder safety, material handling, and emergency procedures. This helps limit accidents and ensures every worker knows the correct way to perform tasks.
We keep a clean and organized job site. Clear walkways, marked hazards, and proper storage of tools reduce risks. By following OSHA practices consistently, we create a safer environment for both our workers and your property.
