Asphalt & Composite Cost-effective and familiar Proven track record and repairability
Roofing Systems, Materials, and Energy Performance

We match systems to your building's load, slope, and maintenance needs. Options include TPO, metal, asphalt, and composite materials tailored for each facility and budget. Each system has trade-offs we explain clearly.

Reflective roof technologies lower cooling costs for warehouses, offices, healthcare, and retail. These choices often show fast payback through energy savings while protecting interiors from heat and moisture.

TPO membranes are a strong choice for low-slope commercial roofs. They deliver energy savings and a reflective surface that reduces heat gain. TPO systems are also easy to inspect and maintain, which helps with long-term costs.

For many warehouses and distribution centers, TPO provides rapid return on investment due to lower cooling demand and straightforward installation that reduces downtime.

Metal roofing offers exceptional impact resistance and wind performance for coastal and inland properties. It is durable, recyclable, and available in many finishes to suit design needs and building codes.

When paired with proper attachment methods and and underlayment, metal roofs perform well in modern wind zones and can last for decades with minimal maintenance.

Asphalt and composite solutions remain cost-effective and familiar to many property managers. They are versatile for pitched roofs and are often chosen for quick replacement with a proven service record.

These systems can be upgraded with coatings or reflective layers to improve energy performance and extend life, giving flexible lifecycle management for a range of budgets.

Florida demands attention to wind and storm resistance. Our teams design assemblies that meet local code and provide enhanced protection against uplift and wind-driven rain. We emphasize wind-zone compliance and structural integrity for every project.

We work directly with engineers and inspectors to document compliance and provide attachments and fasteners that meet or exceed local standards, helping reduce risk during severe weather.

Designing for wind performance starts with load analysis and proper attachment schedules. We select membranes, fasteners, and edge details to resist uplift and limit damage during storms. Our plans prioritize structural resilience for business continuity.

Early coordination with structural engineers ensures assemblies meet the necessary uplift ratings and that replacement systems help protect interior operations and inventory from storm losses.

Proper installation is as critical as product selection. Our certified crews follow documented installation procedures to ensure consistent quality, correct fastener patterns, and secure flashings that reduce leak risk after a storm.

We use tested attachment methods suitable for your wind zone and camera-documented inspections to give you a clear record of compliance and workmanship.

  • Edge fastening and cant strip details
  • Approved fastener patterns and plate sizes
  • Reinforced flashings at penetrations and curbs
  • Engineered uplift calculations and documentation

After a storm, we provide rapid response for tarping, temporary repairs, and damage assessment. Our crews move quickly to secure roofs and prevent additional interior damage, prioritizing safety and quick mitigation.

We also help with insurance documentation and claims support to make recovery smoother for building owners and property managers who need fast, trusted help.

Commercial Projects, Industries, and Case Work

We serve a wide range of industries, including warehouses, retail centers, office parks, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing plants. Our teams understand the unique needs of each property type.

Whether re-roofing a manufacturing plant or upgrading a retail plaza, our experience ensures coordinated scheduling and minimal interruption to daily operations and tenant activities.

Warehouses need long runs and low slopes, so we focus on membrane performance and thermal control. Our systems help reduce cooling costs and provide strong protection for stored goods and equipment.

We prioritize on-time delivery and straightforward staging plans that keep material flow moving and construction safe around heavy equipment and dock activity.

Retail and office properties demand both function and curb appeal. We provide finish options that deliver architectural value while meeting code and energy goals. Healthcare projects require strict cleanliness and scheduling, which we manage carefully.

Our crews coordinate with facility managers for phased work, evening shifts, or weekend projects to keep businesses open and customers comfortable during upgrades.

  • Phased re-roofing to maintain occupancy
  • Noise and dust control plans
  • High-traffic safety measures
  • Detailed post-work cleaning and inspections

For multi-building campuses we provide master planning, coordinated budgeting, and life-cycle strategies that reduce overall cost. We assess each building for its specific needs and propose a clear schedule to manage replacements.

Our approach helps property managers and owners prioritize investments and keep long-term maintenance budgets on track with predictable, measurable results.

Maintenance, Repairs, and Roof Rejuvenation

Proactive maintenance extends roof life and prevents small problems from becoming costly failures. We offer seasonal inspections, routine maintenance, and targeted repairs to keep systems in service longer.

Rejuvenation and coating programs can restore performance and delay replacement. These services are cost-effective ways to gain extra service years from aging roofs while maintaining warranty compliance.

Our planned maintenance programs include regular inspections, gutter and drain clearing, and scheduled repairs. These programs reduce emergency calls and extend the useful life of your roofing assets while documenting conditions over time.

Routine care provides a predictable maintenance budget and reduces the likelihood of unexpected downtime, supporting smoother operations for facility managers and tenants.

We respond quickly to leaks with temporary and permanent repairs. Our technicians locate sources, implement immediate containment, and follow up with durable fixes that restore system integrity and reduce repeat leaks.

Rapid response protects interiors and inventory while offering clear pricing and timelines for permanent work, giving owners confidence in a practical, efficient outcome.

  • 24/7 emergency assessment and tarping
  • Root-cause leak repairs
  • Follow-up inspections and documentation

Coatings can renew membrane surfaces and reflectivity, improving energy performance and extending life. We evaluate roof condition and recommend coatings where they will deliver measurable cost benefits and prolonged service.

Each coating proposal includes surface preparation, material selection, and a maintenance plan so the treated roof achieves intended performance and warranty terms.

Project Process, Safety, and Contact

Our project process is simple and predictable: assess, propose, schedule, install, and follow up. This disciplined flow keeps projects on time and makes budgeting straightforward for owners and managers.

We maintain strict safety standards, training, and site controls to protect people and property. Safety is part of our quality program and a reason property managers trust our crews.

We start with an honest assessment and a written, itemized proposal. That proposal explains materials, labor, timelines, and warranty details so you can make an informed decision and avoid surprises during the project.

Our reporting tools include photos, inspection notes, and clear cost breakdowns to keep stakeholders informed and to support approvals and insurance requirements.

Scheduling is built around your operations and safety needs. Our teams use daily checklists and staged inspections to ensure each step meets our quality standards and documented expectations before moving forward to the next phase.

Final walkthroughs and punch lists ensure work is complete and meets the agreed scope. We leave job sites clean and provide material and warranty documentation for your records.
