Common Types of Commercial Roofing We Install
Our experience spans every major commercial roofing system, ensuring we deliver the right fit for your building and budget.
Metal Roofing
Metal panels are popular for commercial buildings seeking longevity and energy efficiency. With proper installation, they can last 40+ years and resist mildew, fire, and high winds. We install both standing seam and corrugated metal systems for warehouses, offices, and industrial spaces.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Ideal for flat roofs, modified bitumen systems offer strong waterproofing and temperature resistance. These systems are easy to maintain and ideal for mixed climate patterns.
Asphalt Shingles (for Commercial Use)
Asphalt shingles are a cost-effective choice for sloped commercial roofs like apartment complexes, churches, or mixed-use buildings. They’re easy to repair and available in a variety of aesthetic options.
Green Roofing
Green roofs, where vegetation is planted over a waterproof membrane, offer natural insulation and reduce stormwater runoff. These are growing in popularity among businesses pursuing LEED certification or eco-friendly building standards.
Thermoplastic PVC and TPO Roofing
Both TPO(Thermoplastic Polyolefin) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) systems are excellent for flat roofs. These white reflective membranes help cut cooling costs and resist chemical, grease, and puncture damage, ideal for restaurants, manufacturing, and retail buildings.
Commercial Roof Repair
Roof leaks, membrane tears, flashing failures, when something goes wrong, you need fast, reliable repair. We offer 24/7 emergency services and scheduled repairs for:
- Flat roof leaks and ponding
- Blistering or cracking membranes
- Loose or rusted metal flashing
- Damaged shingles or missing panels
- Storm-related roof damage
Milford sees an average of 115 days of precipitation each year, with storms common during summer and winter months. Quick roof repairs help protect your inventory, employees, and operations from costly interruptions.
The Importance of Commercial Roof Maintenance
Skipping roof maintenance is one of the costliest mistakes commercial property owners can make. A proactive maintenance plan can reduce the risk of major failure and extend your roof’s lifespan by up to 50%, according to the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).
What’s Included in Our Maintenance Packages:

In a humid coastal climate, TPO roofing and metal roofing are two of the most reliable materials. TPO offers energy efficiency and UV resistance, while metal roofs handle high winds and moisture exceptionally well. Our team will help you choose the best option based on your property’s structure and needs.
Costs vary depending on size, material, and complexity, but commercial roof replacement typically ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot. We provide transparent, itemized estimates and financing options to make budgeting easier.
