- ✓Maintenance simplicity: Level work surface for inspections
Modern Commercial Flat Roof Systems

- • 15-20 year typical lifespan
- • Best for new construction budget builds
EPDM Systems
- • Most durable (40-50 year lifespan)
- • Excellent in extreme climates
- • Best for long-term asset protection
PVC Systems
- • Excellent chemical and grease resistance

ROI Calculation & Business Impact

Investment:
- • EPDM System: $125,000 ($5/sq ft)
- • 10-year workmanship: $12,500
- • Preventive maintenance: $2,500/year ($25K total)
- Total 20-Year: $162,500
ROI Benefits:

Commercial Roofing FAQ
Common questions about commercial roofing systems, maintenance, and our services.
What types of commercial roofing systems do you install?
We install TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM (rubber membrane), PVC, standing seam metal, and fluid-applied roof coating systems for commercial buildings in Savannah. Each system is selected based on your building's specific needs, budget, and energy efficiency goals. TPO is ideal for energy efficiency, EPDM for durability, PVC for chemical resistance, and coatings for extending the life of sound membranes.
How long does commercial roof installation take?
Commercial roof installation typically takes 3-10 days depending on building size and complexity. A 10,000 sq ft flat roof takes about 5-7 days in good weather. We work efficiently to minimize business disruption and can often schedule work around your operating hours. Weather conditions and building height may extend timelines.
Do you offer commercial roofing maintenance plans?
Yes, we offer preventive maintenance plans including bi-annual inspections, minor repairs, drainage cleaning, seam checks, and detailed reporting. Regular maintenance extends roof life by 30-50% and helps avoid costly emergency repairs. We also offer multi-property management services with centralized scheduling and reporting.
What warranties come with commercial roofing?
We offer manufacturer material warranties ranging from 15-30 years, plus our workmanship warranty on installation. Many commercial systems include No Dollar Limit (NDL) warranty options that cover both materials and labor. Enhanced warranty packages are available for TPO and EPDM systems.
Can you work around our business operations?
Absolutely. We understand minimizing business disruption is critical. We can schedule work during off-hours, weekends, or in phases to keep your business operational. For retail centers and occupied buildings, we coordinate with property managers to ensure tenant comfort and safety throughout the project.
How does roof quality impact my bottom line?
A failing commercial roof causes significant losses: productivity drops from business interruptions, water damage affects inventory and operations, tenant satisfaction declines, and you face emergency repair premiums (30-50% higher costs). Quality roofing prevents these losses, extends asset life, maintains property value, and reduces insurance premiums—often paying for itself in 5-7 years.
What's the difference between TPO and EPDM roofing?
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) offers superior energy efficiency (reflective surfaces reduce AC costs by 10-20%), costs less upfront, and is easier to install. EPDM (rubber membrane) offers superior durability (lasts 40-50+ years), performs better in extreme climates, and handles expansion/contraction better. Choice depends on your budget, climate priorities, and long-term ROI goals.
