If you own a business, a roof replacement can feel like unfamiliar and stressful territory. With so many different types of commercial roofing—TPO roofs, standing seam metal roofs, R-panel metal roofs, spray foam roofs, asphalt shingle roofs, DaVinci synthetic shake and slate roofs, and more—it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Each system has its own installation process, timeline, and maintenance requirements.
No matter the type of roof, your building is an important investment, and it should be treated with the same care and attention by your roofing contractor.
We offer complimentary asset evaluations to help you understand the current condition of your property. Our thorough assessments identify any problems caused by poor installation, worn-out sealants, storm damage, or previous improper repairs. With this information, you can make confident decisions about your roof’s future.
Choosing the right contractor is critical to keeping your building watertight and your business running smoothly during the replacement process. Let’s walk through some of the most common questions business owners have when it’s time for a commercial roof replacement.
Comparing Popular Commercial Roofing Systems
Before deciding on a new roof, it helps to understand the key differences between some of the most common commercial roofing materials:
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)

Standing Seam Metal Roofs

- Ideal for: Commercial properties looking for longevity and a sleek, modern appearance
SPF (Spray Polyurethane Foam)
- Best for: Complex or irregular roof shapes
- Benefits: Seamless waterproofing, excellent insulation, and easy to re-coat for extended life
- Lifespan: 20+ years with periodic re-coating
- Ideal for: Buildings needing improved energy efficiency and leak protection
Slate or Tile Roofing
- Best for: High-end properties or historic buildings
- Benefits: Beautiful aesthetics, extremely long lifespan, and superior weather resistance

Each roofing type has unique advantages, installation requirements, and price points. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the system that best fits your building, budget, and long-term goals.
What will the project entail?
Every successful roofing project starts with careful planning. From choosing the right roofing materials and installation methods to ensuring proper ventilation and drainage, every detail matters to the long-term performance of your roof.
We take time to understand your building, your business needs, and any site-specific challenges before designing the right roofing system for you. This upfront planning helps ensure a smooth project with fewer surprises along the way.
How long will the reroof take?
The timeline depends on the type of roofing system you choose, the size of the building, and any existing damage that needs to be addressed. Some projects take only a few days, while larger or more complex buildings may take several weeks.
Unlike a typical residential roof, commercial projects often involve multiple layers, extensive waterproofing, and detailed safety planning. We have a proven process in place to make the installation as efficient as possible without sacrificing quality.
Will it disrupt my business?
We understand how important it is for your operations to continue with minimal interruption. With experience working on schools, churches, industrial buildings, and commercial facilities, we know how to work around your schedule and minimize interference with daily activities.
We carefully plan around special considerations like landscaping, parking lots, loading zones, and pedestrian areas. Our mission is to complete the project with as little disruption as possible to your staff, customers, and visitors.
Will construction be messy?
No. We take pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and safe job site. Materials are stored neatly, debris is contained and removed promptly, and your property is left in better condition than we found it. Professionalism extends beyond the quality of the roof—it includes respecting your space.
Is it noisy?
Some noise is unavoidable during roof replacement. However, we work with you to schedule the loudest work during times that are least disruptive. With good communication and planning, we can keep noise levels manageable so your business can continue operating smoothly.
Does insurance cover my roof?
Whether your roof is covered depends on your policy and the cause of damage. After we complete a free inspection, we recommend contacting your insurance agent to review your coverage. We’re happy to provide detailed documentation to help streamline the claims process.
What is the lifespan of my new roof?
Every roofing material has a different expected lifespan. Many commercial roofing systems, when installed correctly and maintained properly, can last decades. During your consultation, we’ll explain the longevity and maintenance needs of your chosen roofing system so you know exactly what to expect.
Is it safe?
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority—for your staff, visitors, and our crew. We secure every job site with clear signage, barriers, and strict safety procedures to keep everyone protected throughout the project.
