Services
Roof Replacement
Our roof replacement service handles complete tear-offs and installations for commercial properties. We use energy-efficient materials like TPO, EPDM, and PVC to ensure long-term protection. Our process includes pre-job planning, precise installation, and comprehensive warranty coverage. Projects are completed with minimal disruption to client operations while maintaining strict safety standards. We specialize in flat, low-slope, and metal roofing systems tailored to New England's climate conditions.
Emergency Repairs
We provide rapid emergency repair services for commercial roof leaks and storm damage. Our team responds promptly to stabilize situations, identify moisture sources using infrared technology, and implement permanent fixes. Services include membrane patching, flashing repairs, and temporary roof coverings. We prioritize minimizing business interruptions while preventing further structural damage through proven diagnostic methods and immediate corrective action.
New Construction
Our new construction roofing services deliver code-compliant systems for commercial developments. We collaborate with architects and contractors during planning phases to optimize drainage and material selection. The process includes custom design engineering, proper slope implementation, and integration with rooftop equipment. We install various systems including single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, and standing seam metal roofs to meet specific project requirements and energy efficiency goals.
Maintenance Programs
We offer customized maintenance programs to extend roof lifespan and prevent emergencies. Options include quarterly, bi-annual, or annual inspections with detailed reporting. Services cover debris removal, drainage system maintenance, sealant renewal, and infrared moisture detection. Our proactive approach helps clients qualify for warranty extensions while maintaining optimal roof performance through documented, preventative care schedules.
Infrared Moisture Scans
Our infrared moisture scanning service identifies hidden water intrusion in commercial roofs. Using thermal imaging technology, we detect temperature variations indicating trapped moisture. This non-invasive method allows precise localization of problem areas without destructive testing. Scans are conducted during routine inspections or as part of leak investigations to guide targeted repairs and prevent extensive damage to roofing systems.

Questions
How often should commercial roofs be replaced?
Replacement timelines vary by material: EPDM/TPO/PVC last 20-30 years, modified bitumen 15-25 years, and slate can exceed 50 years with proper care.
What indicates a roof needs replacement?
Persistent leaks, energy bill increases, visible damage (cracks/bubbling), water pooling, interior water damage, or age beyond expected lifespan signal replacement needs.
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes, we collaborate with GCs, architects, and engineers, integrating seamlessly into multi-trade environments while maintaining project timelines and code compliance.
What maintenance does commercial roofing require?
We recommend bi-annual inspections plus post-storm checks. Regular cleaning, drainage maintenance, and sealant renewal prevent emergencies while preserving warranty validity through documented care.
Can roofs be repaired instead of replaced?
Minor leaks or localized damage often allow cost-effective repairs. However, widespread issues or roofs nearing lifespan end typically require full replacement for long-term value.
