professionals assess roofs with real data, then propose systems that fit budgets and performance goals. We help owners prioritize work to avoid surprises and keep operations smooth.

Single-ply membranes like PVC, TPO, and EPDM are common on commercial roofs. Each material has strengths. We evaluate reflectivity, seam performance, installation speed, and life cycle cost to recommend the best fit for your building's needs and climate demands.

Key single-ply features include:

  • PVC: strong seams and chemical resistance
  • TPO: energy-efficient and flexible
  • EPDM: reliable and cost-effective for certain roofs

Our installation follows strict standards to ensure peak performance and durability. We use approved fasteners, proper flashings, and factory-trained techniques for seams and terminations so the roof performs under Florida sun and wind. Attention to detail matters for long life.

Reflective roof coatings and light-colored membranes cut cooling loads and lower energy bills. For warehouses and retail spaces, these choices often pay back the initial price through lower electric costs. We show estimated savings to help you decide wisely.

We design systems to maximize efficiency while keeping durability high. That dual focus reduces cost over time and improves interior comfort for tenants and staff alike.

When a roof reaches the end of its service life, replacement is a major decision. We guide clients through options, permitting, and sequencing so work fits business needs. Clear budgets and staged plans reduce downtime and cost surprises.

The team coordinates with owners, tenants, and other trades to maintain safety and workflow. Our project managers focus on planning, quality checks, and timely completion to minimize disruption to your operation.

Pre-construction starts with a thorough roof survey and condition report. We document existing conditions, note penetrations, and identify roof levels that need staging. Clear plans help owners budget and schedule work in the most efficient way.

Our pre-construction checks include material testing, attachment strategy, and wind resistance reviews. These steps deliver predictable outcomes and protect building systems during construction.

We partner with top manufacturers to offer materials that meet your performance goals and budget. Options include TPO, PVC, metal, asphalt, and composite systems. Each option is chosen for long-term value and compatibility with your building.

Workmanship warranties are important. Our crews provide manufacturer-backed warranties and, where available, exclusive coverage like 25-year workmanship guarantees. For quotes, call 833-791-7377 to review warranty options and included coverage.

Our crews follow a strict removal and installation sequence to protect building contents and personnel. We stage debris removal, secure work areas, and use dust control. Proper sequencing keeps your site safe and trade-friendly while we replace the roof.

Quality control includes milestone inspections, seam testing, and finish checks. This disciplined approach ensures every roof is ready to perform under local climate and building loads.

Routine maintenance and timely repairs extend roof life and prevent costly leaks. We offer scheduled inspections, preventive maintenance, and fast emergency response when issues arise. Consistent care lowers long-term roofing costs.

Rejuvenation treatments can restore many roofs without full replacement. Our team evaluates membranes and recommends coatings or restoration work when it provides proven life extension at a lower cost.

We provide quick emergency repairs to stop leaks and protect interior assets. Our crews arrive with diagnostic tools, temporary patching materials, and clear next-step plans. Fast action prevents further damage and costly downtime.

To request emergency service, call our responsive line at 833-791-7377. We dispatch teams promptly to assess damage, secure the area, and implement reliable temporary measures ahead of permanent repair.

Planned maintenance keeps roofing systems performing as intended. Our programs include regular inspections, cleaning, gutter checks, and minor repairs that prevent major failures. We document findings and recommend renewal schedules that match each asset.

Planned maintenance advantages:

  • Extended roof life through routine care
  • Lower repair costs with early detection
  • Better warranty compliance through documented care

Rejuvenation treatments, such as coatings and membrane restorations, can add years to a roof when conditions allow. We evaluate membrane health, adhesion, and substrate stability before recommending a cost-effective restoration plan.

Rejuvenation reduces waste and often delays full replacement. We provide clear comparisons between restoration and replacement so owners can choose the most economical path with reliable performance.

In addition to single-ply options, we install metal, asphalt, and composite systems. Each has unique properties for durability, appearance, and cost. Our team picks the right system for roof slope, building use, and design intent.

We also work with architects and designers on visual projects. For aesthetic or historic properties, composite and architectural-grade systems provide strong protection with refined looks.

Metal roofs provide long life, excellent wind resistance, and strong storm performance. They are ideal for buildings needing durable, low-maintenance solutions. Proper attachment and flashings are critical to prevent noise and ensure weather tightness.

Contact our metal roofing specialists for custom systems. For quick assistance or estimates, call 833-791-7377 and we will help select profiles, finishes, and energy-saving options that meet your goals.

Asphalt-based and built-up roofing systems remain reliable for many commercial applications. They offer proven performance and economical options when properly maintained. Our crews install modern SBS and APP modified systems for enhanced flexibility and weather performance.

Key considerations for asphalt systems include substrate prep, flashing details, and drainage planning. Our teams follow manufacturer guidance to keep systems performing through seasonal cycles.

Composite shingles and architectural panels offer design-forward solutions for lobbies, offices, and mixed-use properties. These materials combine attractive profiles with engineered durability to meet both aesthetic and performance goals.

We consult with designers and owners to balance looks and value. Our installations emphasize precise detailing and tight flashings for a finished appearance that lasts.

Compliance and safety are central to every project. We follow Florida building codes, wind zone requirements, and OSHA safety practices. Our documentation and permits ensure that each job meets regulatory standards and insurer expectations.

Safety plans, fall protection, and regular audits protect workers and building occupants. These practices reduce risk and support smooth project delivery from start to finish.

We handle permitting, code reviews, and inspection coordination so owners do not face surprises. Our team submits drawings, secures approvals, and prepares inspection packets to match local jurisdiction requirements and ensure a compliant installation.

For permit support and timelines, reach us at 833-791-7377 to discuss your project and expected review steps. We help you understand what inspectors will expect and how we will meet those expectations.

Our partnerships with manufacturers offer strong warranty options, including exclusive workmanship guarantees on select systems. As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we can present long-term workmanship coverage that supports peace of mind and asset protection.

  • Extended protection for parts and labor
  • Certified installation by trained crews
