Commercial Roofing

Commercial Roofing in St. Louis, MO

Low-slope systems with NDL warranty capability.

The Situation

Low-slope commercial roofing is a different discipline from residential, and most contractors sized like us do not hold the credential required to install a manufacturer-warranted system. The result for a building owner is a roof installed by a crew learning on the job, backed by a workmanship warranty that is worth exactly as much as the company standing behind it.

What's Included in Every Commercial Roofing Job

  • Modified bitumen low-slope system installation
  • Tear-off, recover, and new construction
  • Tapered insulation and positive drainage design
  • Parapet, curb, and penetration flashing detailing
  • Roof drain, scupper, and overflow work
  • NDL manufacturer warranty on qualifying systems
  • Preventive maintenance and inspection programs
  • Leak investigation and repair on existing systems

Materials & Brands

We are credentialed through CertainTeed's low-slope program with Master Craftsman certification in modified bitumen, which allows us to install and warranty NDL — No Dollar Limit — commercial roof systems. That is a real distinction: it means the manufacturer inspects and stands behind the assembly without a cap on repair cost, and it is not available to contractors without the certification.

How It Works

Our Commercial Roofing Process

  1. STEP 01

    Roof survey

    We survey the existing assembly, core it where appropriate, and document current condition and drainage performance.

  2. STEP 02

    System recommendation

    Tear-off versus recover, insulation strategy, and drainage correction, with the reasoning and the warranty implications of each.

  3. STEP 03

    Scope and schedule

    A written scope with a schedule built around your operations. Occupied buildings get phased work.

  4. STEP 04

    Installation

    Certified crews, documented daily progress, and detail work at every curb, parapet, and penetration.

  5. STEP 05

    Manufacturer inspection and warranty

    The manufacturer inspects the completed system and issues the NDL warranty. You receive the full documentation package.

St. Louis & St. Charles Specifics

Why Commercial Roofing Is Different in Greater St. Louis

Commercial buildings across the St. Louis metro carry a large stock of aging low-slope roofs, many of them installed with inadequate slope and now ponding water after every storm. Ponding accelerates membrane failure and adds structural load. Correcting drainage with tapered insulation during a tear-off is usually the difference between a fifteen-year roof and a twenty-five-year roof.

Questions

Commercial Roofing FAQ

Yes. Occupied commercial work is phased and scheduled around operations, including after-hours and weekend work where the situation calls for it.
