Commercial Roofing Systems, Installations, and Replacements
We install high-performance roofs built for Florida weather. Systems include TPO, metal, asphalt, and composite assemblies chosen for durability, wind resistance, and energy performance.
Each installation follows manufacturer guidelines and local codes. Our quality checks and professional attachments help roofs withstand storms and reduce repair frequency over time.
TPO and Single-Ply Advantages
TPO systems offer seamless coverage and reflectivity that helps lower cooling energy use. We select TPO membranes sized to match building loads and ensure proper insulation and drainage for long life.
Skilled welding and precise flashings secure penetrations and edges. Proper installation prevents leaks, keeps warranties valid, and supports a very low maintenance obligation for busy facilities.
Metal Roofing Solutions
Metal roofs deliver high impact resistance and long service life when installed with correct fasteners and seams. They are ideal for sloped roofs, covered canopies, and areas where durability and appearance matter.
We offer standing seam and through-fastened panels with tested attachment patterns. Benefits include easier maintenance, excellent wind performance, and recyclable materials for sustainable projects.
Asphalt and Composite Options
Asphalt and composite systems provide cost-effective protection for low-slope and steep roof assemblies. When paired with reflective coatings or lighter membranes, these roofs improve energy bills and extend service life.
We select shingle grades, underlayments, and fastener patterns to match building use and budget, always aiming for trusted performance and predictable lifecycle costs.
Roof Repair, Rejuvenation, and Preventive Maintenance
Timely repairs and scheduled maintenance extend roof life and avoid costly failures. Our teams assess problems, recommend priority work, and offer maintenance plans tailored to each facility's needs.
Regular inspections, drain cleaning, and seam repairs reduce emergencies. We document issues and track work to make future planning straightforward for facility managers and owners.
Repair Services and Emergency Response
We respond quickly to leaks, storm damage, and sudden failures. Technicians stabilize the site, stop water intrusion, and provide temporary protection followed by full repairs scheduled with owners.
Rapid response minimizes interior damage and business interruption. Our crews use quality materials and follow proven repair protocols to restore watertight condition effectively and safely.
Rejuvenation and Coating Programs
Coatings and rejuvenation programs are cost-effective where the roof deck and membrane remain structurally sound. Reflective coatings can significantly reduce cooling loads and delay the need for full replacement.
We evaluate roof substrates, recommend appropriate coatings, and outline expected lifespan improvements. Many clients see measurable savings after applying high-quality reflective systems.
Maintenance Plans and Documentation
Our maintenance plans include scheduled inspections, drain and gutter service, and roof log updates. These plans deliver predictable budgeting and help owners make informed capital decisions over time.
We provide clear reports and photos after each visit so managers can see progress, track issues, and plan for future work without surprises.
Energy Savings and Cool/Reflective Roofs to Lower Cooling Costs
Reflective roof technologies help lower building temperatures and reduce HVAC energy use. In Florida, high roof reflectivity can translate to substantial savings on cooling bills over the life of the roof.
We provide options that balance reflectivity, durability, and cost, helping facilities recoup investment through lower energy bills and longer roof service life.
How Cool Roofs Save Energy
Cool roofs reduce heat transfer into the building, easing the HVAC load during hot months. This lowers peak demand, reduces compressor cycling, and often extends equipment life in addition to lowering monthly costs.
Our team models expected savings and selects membranes or coatings that match building orientation, insulation, and usage patterns for the best return on investment.
Reflective Options and Installation Choices
We install reflective TPO, coated asphalt, and specialized membranes that maximize solar reflectance. Installation techniques ensure proper slope, drainage, and flashing so reflectivity remains effective through years of service.
Choosing the right assembly depends on roof condition, structure, and maintenance schedule. We provide side-by-side options so owners can decide based on performance and budget.
Cool Roof Benefits and Return on Investment
Clients see lower interior temperatures, reduced HVAC runtimes, and improved occupant comfort. Often, the energy savings help pay for the roof upgrade over time while offering immediate comfort improvements.
We quantify energy impacts and schedule installations to minimize business disruption, supporting efficient transitions to long-lasting, reflective systems.
| System | Durability | Energy Performance | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPO (Reflective) | High | Excellent | Warehouses, flat roofs |
| Metal | Very High | Good | Sloped roofs, architectural buildings |
| Asphalt/Composite | Moderate | Good with coatings | Retail, offices, budget-sensitive projects |
Warranties, Certifications, and Manufacturer Partnerships
We partner with respected manufacturers and hold certifications that back our workmanship. These relationships allow us to offer extended warranties and ensure access to quality materials and technical support.
Our field teams follow manufacturer installation procedures so warranties remain valid and performance expectations are met consistently across projects.
TAMKO Diamond Contractor and Brava Preferred
As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we can offer select roof assemblies with exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties and wind-resistant configurations designed for Florida conditions. These warranties provide owners with added confidence.
Our Brava Preferred status opens options for architectural-grade roofing that combines durability with attractive design for high-visibility properties and designer-driven projects.
Quality Control and Code Compliance
Every project follows a documented quality control plan and meets Florida building codes and wind-zone requirements. Inspections, permit coordination, and certified attachments are standard parts of our process.
We keep project records and provide compliance documentation to help owners with insurance claims, audits, and asset management planning.
Manufacturer-Backed Systems and Support
Partnering with American-made manufacturers ensures quality supply chains and tested assemblies. Manufacturer technical support assists in choosing the right system for each building and climate demand.
These partnerships allow us to align warranties with installation procedures so building owners receive both product and workmanship assurances that matter.
Project Management, Scheduling, and Safety
We manage projects from initial assessment through final inspection with clear schedules, milestones, and safety plans. Our approach reduces downtime, coordinates trades, and keeps owners informed at every step.
Safety is a core value. Crews follow site-specific safety plans, use fall protection, and maintain clean work zones to protect people and property during projects.
Planning and Coordination
Project planning includes material lead times, weather planning, and staging to limit disruption. We work with facility staff to schedule deliveries and work hours that support ongoing operations and occupant safety.
Clear schedules and daily updates help stakeholders understand progress so decisions are timely and predictable, reducing surprises during installation or repair.
On-Site Safety and Training
Our teams participate in ongoing safety training and site orientation. We document job hazards, enforce protective equipment use, and conduct toolbox talks to reduce risk and ensure steady productivity.
Safety planning is integrated into every phase, from access control to roof-edge protection, so clients can rely on professional, responsible work teams.
Transparent Budgeting and Reporting
We provide clear, itemized budgets and keep clients informed about changes and cost impacts. Regular reporting includes photos, inspection results, and recommended next steps for long-term asset planning.
Our goal is to make decisions simple for owners by offering straightforward options and factual comparisons to support smart investments in roofing infrastructure.
