Designed for large commercial and industrial buildings, our flat and low-slope roofing systems combine efficient drainage with exceptional waterproofing capabilities. We employ cutting-edge single-ply membranes like TPO and EPDM, in addition to modified bitumen systems, all engineered for resilience, energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance requirements.
Metal Roofing
Our commercial metal roofing systems provide exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and weather resilience, ensuring lasting protection for your property. Made from interlocking panels of galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper, each installation forms a continuous, watertight barrier that withstands corrosion, high winds, and fire. Our sturdy commercial metal roofs guarantee decades of low-maintenance protection for our business clients.

Ideal for properties featuring roof pitches of 3:12 or steeper, our steep-slope roofing combines architectural sophistication with exceptional water drainage performance. We employ top-quality materials, such as asphalt shingles, clay or concrete tiles, and natural slate, to provide stunning aesthetics, remarkable structural strength, and reduced maintenance costs.
Commercial Roof Sealing
Our roof sealing service enhances the longevity of your existing roof by applying a liquid protective coating that effectively guards against leaks and boosts reflectivity. By using acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane coatings, we create a seamless waterproof membrane that protects against UV rays, standing water, and thermal stress—ensuring your operations run smoothly without interruptions.
Commercial Reflective Roofing Installation
Lower your building's cooling costs with our advanced cool roof systems, designed to reflect up to 80–90% of sunlight and reduce roof surface temperatures by as much as 50°F. We use white membranes, reflective coatings, and cool-toned shingles to boost energy efficiency and improve indoor comfort year-round.
Commercial Roof Inspection & Assessment
Our comprehensive roof inspections identify potential problems early through a meticulous 9-step evaluation process that encompasses drainage assessments, flashing inspections, and optional thermal imaging. You'll receive a detailed report featuring actionable recommendations, helping you avoid costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your roof.

What Types of Material Do We Use for Commercial Roofs?

Lower your building's cooling costs with our state-of-the-art cool roof systems, engineered to reflect 80–90% of sunlight and potentially decrease roof surface temperatures by as much as 50°F. Our offerings include the installation of white membranes, reflective coatings, and cool-toned shingles, all aimed at boosting energy efficiency and improving interior comfort year-round.

We provide extensive roof maintenance designed to prevent leaks, enhance system longevity, and boost performance through consistent inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs. Our evaluations, debris removal, seam resealing, and drainage assessments assist property owners in avoiding expensive disruptions, safeguarding warranties, and ensuring continuous waterproofing for all commercial roofing systems.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing offers an impressive lifespan of 40 to 60 years and can reflect up to 70% of solar heat, making it one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable options for commercial applications. With exceptional wind resistance rated up to 140 mph, these roofs also provide a sleek, modern aesthetic that elevates the visual charm of commercial buildings.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing Systems
Flat and low-slope roofs enhance drainage and waterproofing, significantly reducing leaks and water buildup that cause costly damage. They use high-R-value insulation and seamless membranes to create a strong barrier against the elements. This construction boosts building durability and energy efficiency year-round, cutting heating and cooling costs while ensuring indoor comfort.
What Types of Material Do We Use for Commercial Roofs?
Ponding Water
Ponding water arises when inadequate drainage or inconsistent insulation leads to water accumulation on flat or low-slope roofs, which accelerates membrane deterioration and causes leaks. We address this issue by regrading the surface with tapered insulation, removing blockages from the drains, and applying waterproof coatings to ensure proper runoff and prevent future pooling.
Flashing Failure
Inadequately installed flashing around vents, HVAC units, or roof edges can lead to significant water intrusion and leaks, jeopardizing structural integrity and resulting in expensive repairs. Our process involves removing damaged flashing, thoroughly cleaning the affected areas, and resealing or replacing it with robust materials such as high-quality metal or TPO-compatible alternatives. Additionally, we reinforce seams to provide enduring waterproof protection, giving you confidence against future leaks.
Damaged Roofing Membrane
As time passes, roof membranes can develop issues such as cracking, blistering, or puncturing caused by factors like UV exposure, foot traffic, and fluctuations in temperature. Our skilled team utilizes meticulous patching, seam resealing, and infrared moisture scanning to pinpoint weaknesses and strengthen a watertight barrier, all without necessitating a complete replacement.
Storm or Tree Impact Damage
Ferocious winds, shattered branches, and storm remnants can lead to punctures, membrane rips, and significant damage to your roof. Our experts carry out emergency evaluations, clear away debris, strengthen compromised areas, and execute extensive membrane restoration or panel replacement to restore your roof to its pristine state.
How Much Does Commercial Roof Replacement Cost?
The expense of repairing a commercial flat roof in Burbank generally falls between $6 and $18 per square foot, with price fluctuations based on factors such as the roofing material, the size of the building, and the intricacy of the project. TPO, EPDM, and PVC roofs typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, whereas Built-Up (BUR), Modified Bitumen, and Metal systems can rise to between $16 and $22 per square foot for higher-quality materials and multilayer protection. On average, materials constitute roughly 40 to 50% of the overall costs associated with a commercial roof replacement project, while labor accounts for about 30 to 40%. A variety of elements, including roof accessibility, required tear-offs, and local regulations, can influence pricing.
Typical Cost Range Per Square Foot:

|---|---|
| Single-Ply TPO | $7.00 – $15.00 |
| EPDM (rubber membrane) | $6.00 – $14.00 |

How Long Does a Commercial Roof Replacement Take?
A typical roof replacement project generally requires between five days and four weeks to complete, influenced by various factors including the roof's size, the materials selected, and the project's complexity. Single-ply membranes like TPO, PVC, and EPDM tend to allow for a quicker installation, often finished within one to two weeks. Conversely, multi-layer systems such as BUR, modified bitumen, or metal roofing usually take longer to install due to their inherent complexities.
Cost Breakdown:

|---|---|---|
| Roof Inspection & Assessment | 1-3 days | Our team inspects the existing roof, identifies damage, and evaluates substrate and drainage conditions. |
| Final Quotation & Project Planning | 2-5 days | We provide a detailed estimate and help you choose the best system—TPO, PVC, EPDM, BUR, or metal—based on performance and budget. |
| Pre-Work & Project Scheduling | 3 to 7 days | We handle local permits, compliance checks, and coordinate logistics to minimize disruption to your operations. |
| Roof Tear-Off & Surface Preparation | 2 to 7 days | Old roofing materials are safely removed, and the substrate is repaired or reinforced for new installation. |
