Deciding between patching a leak and replacing the entire roof depends on the age of the system, the percentage of saturated insulation, and the condition of the membrane's seams.

When Repair or Coating is Viable:

• Isolated Leaks: Damage is localized to a specific puncture or a single failing flashing around an HVAC unit.
• Good Insulation: Core testing shows the underlying polyiso insulation is still dry.
• Surface Aging: The membrane is intact but aging, making it a great candidate for a restorative silicone or elastomeric coating.

When Full Replacement is Necessary:

• Widespread Seam Failure: The glue or welds holding the membrane panels together are deteriorating across the roof.
• Saturated Insulation: Water has penetrated the membrane and soaked the insulation, destroying its R-value and rotting the deck.
• Chronic Ponding Water: Structural sagging is causing water to sit on the roof for more than 48 hours without draining.

Pro Tip: Don't guess. We can confirm whether your roof can be saved or needs replacing.

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) and EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) are the two most common single-ply flat roofing systems, each with distinct advantages.

• TPO (The White Roof): TPO is a highly reflective white membrane that excels at reflecting UV rays, significantly reducing cooling costs in the summer. Its seams are heat-welded, creating a monolithic, incredibly strong, and watertight bond. It is highly resistant to chemical exposure and punctures.
• EPDM (The Rubber Roof): EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, typically black, known for its exceptional durability and flexibility. It handles Michigan's freezing temperatures incredibly well without cracking. Its seams are typically adhered with heavy-duty seam tape and adhesives.

Pro Tip: If your building houses a restaurant or manufacturing facility that expels oils or grease onto the roof, TPO or PVC is a better choice, as grease can degrade EPDM rubber over time.

Our goal is to ensure your business experiences zero to minimal downtime during a roof replacement. We understand that lost operational hours mean lost revenue.

How We Minimize Disruption:

• Strategic Scheduling: We can schedule noisy tear-off phases during your off-hours, early mornings, or weekends when necessary.
• Safe Staging: We section off parking areas and set up debris chutes safely away from customer and employee entrances.
• Phased Installation: We work in sections, ensuring that whatever portion of the roof is torn off is completely dried-in and weatherproofed by the end of that specific workday.

Yes. In fact, regular maintenance is required by most commercial roofing manufacturers to keep your No Dollar Limit (NDL) or material warranties valid.

Our preventative maintenance program includes bi-annual inspections (typically Spring and Fall) where we:

• Clear debris from scuppers, downspouts, and internal drains.
• Inspect and reseal pitch pockets, pipe boots, and HVAC curbs.
• Check for membrane shrinkage, punctures, or loose coping metal.
• Provide a detailed photographic report of your roof's condition for your records.

Pro Tip: A commercial maintenance contract is the most cost-effective way to extend the life of your flat roof by catching minor issues before they become catastrophic leaks.

Commercial roofing warranties are significantly different from residential ones. We offer comprehensive coverage to protect your capital investment.

• Workmanship Warranty: We guarantee our installation labor against defects, ensuring the roof was applied perfectly to manufacturer specifications.
• Manufacturer Material Warranties: Coverage for the membrane itself, typically ranging from 10 to 30 years depending on the thickness (mil) of the material chosen.
• NDL (No Dollar Limit) Warranties: For qualifying full-system installations, we can facilitate NDL warranties from the manufacturer. This elite warranty means if the roof fails due to material defects or approved workmanship issues, the manufacturer covers the cost of repair or replacement completely, with no maximum dollar limit.
