Commercial Roofing in the Quad Cities

A commercial roof fails differently than a house. Nobody lives under it, so a small leak can run for months before anybody mentions it, and by then it is wet insulation across a wide area rather than a stain on a ceiling.

What We Work On

• Single ply membrane, TPO, EPDM and PVC
• Modified bitumen and built up roofs on older buildings
• Metal roofs on shops, barns and light industrial buildings
• Repairs, maintenance plans and roof surveys for owners and property managers

The Rooftop Equipment Problem

Most commercial leaks start at something sitting on the roof rather than at the roof itself. Curbs under HVAC units, conduit, gas lines, exhaust fans and the pipe penetrations around them.

Every one of those is a hole in the membrane with a seal around it, and every service technician who walks up there to work on a unit is standing on that seal. Half of a good maintenance visit is checking what other trades did to your roof.

Maintenance Is Cheaper Than Anything Else Here

Two visits a year, drains cleared, seams checked, penetrations resealed, with photographs into your file. It is a small predictable cost against a roof section that has to be torn out because water tracked through the insulation for a year.

For an owner with several buildings this is also the only way to budget. A survey tells you which roof needs money in which year instead of all of them surprising you at once.
