Commercial roof repair

Updated: 22 hours ago

Commercial roof repair is different from residential—flat/low-slope systems, rooftop equipment, drainage, and code requirements can all affect the scope and cost. Here’s a practical guide to common issues, what to document, and how to choose the right contractor.

Common commercial roof problems

  • Ponding water from clogged drains/scuppers or poor slope

  • Membrane punctures/tears (foot traffic, HVAC work, debris)

  • Flashing failures around curbs, parapet walls, and penetrations

  • Seam separation on TPO/EPDM/PVC systems

What to do when you notice a leak

  1. Document everything: photos/video of interior stains, ceiling tiles, and any rooftop areas if safe.

  2. Protect inventory/equipment and place containment (buckets, tarps) to limit damage.

  3. Check roof access rules—many commercial roofs require authorized access only.

  4. Schedule an inspection and ask for a written scope + repair photos.

How to choose a commercial roofing contractor

  • Experience with your roof system (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, metal)

  • Proof of insurance + safety plan (fall protection, site rules)

  • Clear scope, warranty terms, and maintenance recommendations
