Determining the right types of commercial roofing systems is essential to protect your building investment for decades while minimizing maintenance costs and energy expenses. Unlike residential roofing, commercial roofing applications require specialized systems designed for flat or low-slope configurations, larger surface areas, and unique drainage requirements. 

Our experienced team evaluates your building’s structural capacity, insulation needs, climate exposure, and operational requirements before recommending systems.

We consider factors including foot traffic, HVAC equipment weight, warranty coverage, and long-term maintenance when advising clients. Every installation includes proper deck preparation, drainage planning, insulation upgrades when beneficial, and manufacturer-approved installation methods. Our 10-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer material warranties provide comprehensive protection for your roofing investment.

Choosing the Right Types of Commercial Roofing Systems

Various types of commercial roofing systems excel in various applications, and selecting appropriately ensures optimal performance and value. Consider your building’s specific requirements, including roof slope, expected traffic, climate exposure, and budget constraints. Energy efficiency needs influence system selection; reflective membranes reduce cooling costs significantly in Bloomington’s warm summers.

Building use matters too; restaurants and manufacturing facilities benefit from chemical-resistant PVC, while standard office buildings perform excellently with cost-effective EPDM or TPO. Roof accessibility for HVAC maintenance, expected lifespan requirements, and aesthetic considerations all factor into optimal system selection. During your free consultation, we assess these factors thoroughly, explaining the advantages and limitations of each system to help you make informed decisions aligned with your goals.

TPO Roofing Systems

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing provides excellent energy efficiency with bright white reflective surfaces reducing cooling costs. Heat-welded seams create watertight membranes resistant to UV degradation, chemical exposure, and punctures.

EPDM Roofing Systems

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber roofing delivers proven durability and cost-effectiveness for flat commercial roofs. This black membrane withstands extreme temperature fluctuations, resists ozone and UV exposure, and provides reliable performance for 20-30 years. EPDM installation costs less than many alternatives while maintaining excellent weather resistance and flexibility.
