Commercial Roofing FAQs

The most common flat roofing systems are TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. TPO is known for its energy efficiency and white reflective surface, which helps reduce cooling costs. EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane with excellent weather resistance and longevity. Modified bitumen is a multi-layered asphalt-based system that performs well in high-traffic or older buildings. The right system depends on the building’s structure, usage, and budget — and we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each during your consultation.

Commercial roof lifespan varies depending on the material and maintenance. TPO and EPDM systems generally last 20 to 30 years. Modified bitumen can last 15 to 25 years. Metal roofing can exceed 40 years when properly installed. Regular inspections and preventative maintenance can significantly extend the life of your system.

We handle both. Our team performs emergency repairs, leak detection, and preventive maintenance for all types of commercial roofing. If your system has issues but still has useful life left, we’ll prioritize repair strategies that protect your investment without rushing to replacement.

Common causes include poor installation, inadequate drainage, lack of maintenance, and storm damage. UV exposure, standing water, and foot traffic can also wear down systems over time. Many problems go unnoticed until there’s a leak — that’s why we recommend annual or biannual inspections, especially for aging roofs.
