Our Commercial Roofing Services
Commercial Roof Installation
Our commercial roof installation services are designed for new construction and major property upgrades, using proven systems built for durability and code compliance. We install TPO, PVC, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, BUR, and metal roofing systems to manufacturer specifications, ensuring long-term performance and full warranty protection. These roofs last for 20 to 30 years when properly installed.
Commercial Roof Replacement
When an existing roof has reached the end of its lifespan, our commercial roof replacement services provide a complete, long-term solution. We remove failing systems, address underlying structural or moisture issues, and install modern roofing assemblies that meet current codes and performance standards. A professionally executed replacement can reduce long-term maintenance costs by up to 40% compared to repeated repairs on aging roofs.
Commercial Re-Roofing
Commercial re-roofing offers a cost-effective alternative to full replacement when the roof structure remains sound. By installing a new roofing system over an existing one where code allows, we minimize disruption, reduce landfill waste, and shorten project timelines. Re-roofing can lower installation costs by 20–30% while restoring weather protection and extending roof life.
Roof Deck Repair & Replacement
The roof deck is the foundation of every commercial roofing system, and damage here can compromise the entire structure. We repair or replace deteriorated steel, wood, or concrete decking to restore load capacity, proper drainage, and attachment strength. Addressing deck issues early helps prevent premature roof failure and protects the building from structural and moisture-related damage.
Roof Retrofits & Upgrades
Our roof retrofit and upgrade services improve existing roofing systems without a full tear-off. We enhance insulation, drainage, ventilation, and reflective surfaces to increase energy efficiency and system reliability. Energy-efficient roof upgrades can reduce cooling costs by up to 15–30%, making them a smart investment for commercial property owners.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing Systems
We specialize in flat and low-slope commercial roofing systems engineered to manage water, withstand heavy use, and meet modern performance demands. Our expertise includes single-ply and multi-ply systems designed for durability, flexibility, and long-term weather resistance. Professionally installed flat roofing systems provide superior protection for large commercial buildings and are among the most widely used solutions in commercial construction today.
Our Tile Roofing Services
Concrete Tile Roof Installation
Concrete tile roofs are known for their durability, with an average lifespan of 50 years or more when properly installed and maintained. These tiles offer excellent thermal performance, helping reduce heat transfer and potentially lowering cooling costs by up to 20% in warm climates. Concrete tiles are also fire-resistant and can withstand wind speeds of up to 125–150 mph, depending on installation standards.
Composite Tile Roof Installation
Composite tile roofing is manufactured from engineered polymers and recycled materials, providing a lightweight alternative that weighs 30–50% less than traditional concrete or clay tile. This reduced weight places less stress on the roof structure while maintaining strong resistance to impact, moisture, and UV degradation. Composite tiles are designed to resist cracking and fading, often carrying manufacturer warranties of 40–50 years.
Tile Roof Replacement
Tile roof replacement restores roofing systems that have reached the end of their service life or suffered underlayment failure, which typically occurs after 20–30 years, even when tiles remain intact. Replacing the roof improves waterproofing, ventilation, and energy efficiency while ensuring compliance with current building codes. A new tile roof can also increase property value, as tile roofing is one of the highest-rated materials for long-term performance and curb appeal.
Tile Roof Repair
Tile roof repairs address common issues such as cracked tiles, slipped tiles, and deteriorated flashing, which are leading causes of roof leaks. Even minor tile damage can allow water intrusion, potentially compromising the underlayment and roof decking if not corrected promptly. Timely repairs help extend the overall lifespan of the roof and reduce the risk of costly structural damage.
Tile Roof Inspection
Tile roof inspections include a detailed assessment of tiles, fasteners, flashing, underlayment condition, and drainage systems. Regular inspections are recommended at least once every 1–2 years, as well as after major weather events, to identify hidden damage early. Early detection through inspections can significantly reduce long-term repair costs and help preserve the roof’s full service life.
Clay Tile Roof Installation
Tile roof replacement restores roofing systems that have reached the end of their service life or suffered underlayment failure, which typically occurs after 20–30 years, even when tiles remain intact. Replacing the roof improves waterproofing, ventilation, and energy efficiency while ensuring compliance with current building codes. A new tile roof can also increase property value, as tile roofing is one of the highest-rated materials for long-term performance and curb appeal.
What Commercial Roofing Issues Do We Fix?
What Types of Material Do We Use on Commercial Roofing Projects?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO is the most widely installed commercial roofing membrane in the U.S., largely because of its highly reflective white surface that can reduce rooftop temperatures by up to 60°F and lower cooling costs by 10–30%. It offers excellent resistance to UV radiation, punctures, and chemical exposure, making it ideal for large flat roofs and high-traffic areas. Heat-welded seams create a watertight bond that is often stronger than the membrane itself, improving long-term leak protection.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
EPDM is a proven synthetic rubber roofing system known for exceptional durability and flexibility, even in extreme temperature swings. Studies show EPDM roofs commonly achieve 25–30+ years of service life, with some systems lasting over 40 years when properly maintained. Its ability to expand and contract without cracking makes it especially effective in protecting buildings from weather-related stress.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
PVC roofing membranes are engineered for environments requiring superior chemical, grease, and fire resistance, making them a top choice for restaurants, factories, and manufacturing facilities. The membrane’s heat-welded seams provide outstanding watertight integrity, while its reflective surface can reduce energy consumption by up to 20%. PVC systems are also highly resistant to ponding water and microbial growth, contributing to long-term performance and reduced maintenance.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen roofing combines traditional asphalt with polymer reinforcement to deliver a tough, multi-layer waterproofing system. Its layered construction provides excellent impact resistance and redundancy. This means damage to one layer does not compromise the entire roof. When properly installed and maintained, modified bitumen roofing systems last for 20 years or more.
How Much Does it Cost to Install a Commercial Roof in Sarasota, FL?
It typically costs around $5 to $13 per square foot to install a commercial roof in Sarasota, FL. The actual cost may be higher or lower depending on the roofing material, system design, and overall complexity of the project.
Most standard flat and low-slope commercial roofs average $6.50 to $10.50 per square foot when installed according to manufacturer standards. Factors such as the height of the roof, insulation type, and extent of the tear-off also affect the actual cost. TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified bitumen each have different price points, performance characteristics, and service lifespans. Request an on-site inspection to get an accurate estimate for your planned roofing project.
Roofing Type | Installation Cost | Cost Factors | Value & ROI |
|---|---|---|---|
TPO | $6.00 to $10.00 per sq. ft. | Thickness of membrane, insulation, roof height, and seam-welding requirements. | Reduces cooling costs by 10-30%, and can last for 20 to 30 years. |
EPDM | $6.50 to $11.00 per sq. ft. | Fully adhered, mechanically fastened, insulation thickness, and deck condition | Flexible, low-maintenance, and can last for 25 to 30 years. |
PVC | $7.50 to $13.00 per sq. ft. | Membrane thickness, chemical exposure, and welding complexity | Resistant to grease, chemicals, fire, and standing water; reflective surface can cut energy use by up to 20% |
Modified Bitumen | $5.50 to $9.50 per sq. ft. | Installation method (torch-applied, hot-mopped, or cold-applied), number of plies, and substrate condition. | 20-year lifespan, excellent waterproofing feature, and cost-effective for buildings that need tough roofing systems |

Commercial & Tile Roofing FAQs
Most commercial roofing projects fall between $5.50 and $13.00 per square foot, with pricing influenced by material choice, insulation levels, roof height, and deck condition. Investing in the right system upfront can reduce long-term ownership costs by up to 40% compared to repeated repairs on aging roofs.
The ideal system depends on roof slope, building use, drainage design, and energy-efficiency goals, not just initial price. For example, reflective systems like TPO and PVC can lower cooling costs by 10–30%, while EPDM often delivers 25–30+ years of proven durability.
Most commercial roof installations or replacements take several days to a few weeks, depending on size, access, and weather conditions. Targeted commercial roof repairs are often completed in 1–2 days, minimizing downtime and disruption.
Well-planned commercial roofing projects allow most businesses to remain fully operational throughout construction. Proper staging, safety controls, and scheduling reduce disruptions and help prevent interior damage and productivity loss.
Manufacturer warranties typically range from 10 to 30+ years, with premium systems offering no-dollar-limit (NDL) coverage that guarantees full replacement if the roof fails. These warranties require certified installation and ongoing maintenance to remain valid.
A properly installed commercial roofing system can last 20–30+ years, depending on material and environmental exposure. Studies show that routine preventive maintenance can extend roof life by 25–50%, significantly improving long-term return on investment.
