We install contemporary single-ply membranes such as TPO and EPDM, in addition to modified bitumen systems, all designed for longevity, energy efficiency, and minimal upkeep.
Metal Roofing
Our commercial metal roofing systems offer unparalleled durability, energy efficiency, and weather resistance for enduring protection of your building. Constructed from interlocking panels of galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper, every installation creates a seamless, watertight barrier that stands up to corrosion, high winds, and fire. Robust commercial metal roofs ensure decades of low-maintenance protection for our business clients.

Perfectly suited for properties with roof pitches of 3:12 or steeper, our steep-slope roofing seamlessly blends architectural elegance with superior water drainage capabilities. We utilize top-tier materials like asphalt shingles, clay or concrete tiles, and natural slate to provide striking beauty, robust structural integrity, and lower maintenance expenses.
Commercial Roof Sealing
Our roof sealing service prolongs the lifespan of your current roof by applying a liquid protective coating that guards against leaks and improves reflectivity. Utilizing acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane coatings, we create a seamless waterproof membrane that shields against UV rays, standing water, and thermal stress—ensuring that your operations remain undisturbed.

What Types of Material Do We Use for Commercial Roofs?
TPO, EPDM, PVC Roofing
Reduce your building's cooling expenses with our advanced cool roof systems, designed to reflect as much as 80–90% of sunlight and lower roof surface temperatures by up to 50°F. Our services include the installation of white membranes, reflective coatings, and cool-colored shingles to enhance energy efficiency and elevate interior comfort throughout the year.

Our thorough roof inspections uncover potential issues early through a meticulous 9-step evaluation process, featuring drainage assessments, flashing inspections, and optional thermal imaging. You’ll receive a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations, aiding in the prevention of expensive repairs and extending the life of your roof.

We offer comprehensive roof maintenance to prevent leaks, extend system life, and optimize performance through regular inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs. Our assessments, debris removal, seam resealing, and drainage evaluations help property owners avoid costly downtime, protect warranties, and ensure year-round waterproofing for all commercial roofing systems.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs have a lifespan of 40 to 60 years and can reflect as much as 70% of solar heat, positioning them as one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable choices for commercial applications. They boast remarkable wind resistance of up to 140 mph, along with a stylish, contemporary look that enhances commercial buildings.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing Systems
Flat and low-slope roofs are designed for optimal drainage and waterproof functionality, minimizing the chances of leaks and water pooling. Our flat and low-slope roofs incorporate high-R-value insulation and seamless membranes, ensuring energy efficiency throughout the year.
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 hastens membrane wear and leak formation. We address this issue by regrading the surface using tapered insulation, clearing the drains, and applying waterproof coatings to ensure proper runoff and prevent future pooling.
Flashing Failure
Ineffective flashing near vents, HVAC units, or edges frequently results in water penetration and interior leaks. We carefully remove degraded flashing, reseal or replace it with premium metal or TPO-compatible materials, and reinforce seams to guarantee lasting waterproof protection.
Damaged Roofing Membrane
Roof membranes can experience cracking, blistering, or puncturing as time goes by, owing to factors such as UV exposure, foot traffic, and temperature variations. Our team conducts meticulous patching, seam resealing, and infrared moisture scanning to detect vulnerable areas and restore a watertight barrier without the necessity of a complete replacement.
Storm or Tree Impact Damage
Strong winds, falling branches, and storm debris can lead to punctures, torn membranes, and significant roof damage. Our experts carry out emergency inspections, clear away debris, strengthen impacted areas, and execute comprehensive membrane restoration or panel replacement to restore your roof to a like-new state.
How Much Does Commercial Roof Replacement Cost?
The expense of repairing a commercial flat roof in Santa Clarita ranges from $6 to $18 per square foot, varying based on the roofing system, the size of the building, and its complexity. TPO, EPDM, and PVC roofs typically average between $7 and $15 per square foot, whereas Built-Up (BUR), Modified Bitumen, and Metal systems can escalate to $16–$22 per square foot for high-quality materials and multilayer protection. In an average commercial roof replacement project, materials comprise 40–50% of the overall costs, while labor accounts for 30–40%. Factors such as roof accessibility, required tear-offs, and local regulations influence pricing.
Typical Cost Range Per Square Foot:
| Roofing Type | Typical Cost Range (per sq ft) |
|---|---|
| Single-Ply TPO | $7.00 – $15.00 |
| EPDM (rubber membrane) | $6.00 – $14.00 |
| Single-Ply PVC | $8.00 – $15.00 |
| Modified Bitumen | $9.50 – $16.00 |
| Built-Up Roofing (BUR) | $10.00 – $22.00 |
| Metal Roofing (flat/low slope or sloped) | $12.00 – $18.00 |
Cost Breakdown:
| Cost Component | Approximate % of Total Cost | Inclusions |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | ~40-50% | Includes membrane, insulation, flashings, fasteners, waterproofing layers. |
| Labor & Installation | ~30-40% | Skilled labor, seam welding, substrate preparation, safety measures, cleanup. |
| Tear-off / Disposal & Substrate Repair | ~10-20% | Removal of old roof, disposal fees, repair/replacement of damaged deck or insulation. |
| Permits, Inspections & Contingency | ~5-10% | Local code compliance, building permits, unforeseen conditions |
How Long Does a Commercial Roof Replacement Take?
A typical roof replacement project generally spans five days to four weeks, influenced by factors such as roof size, material, and project intricacy. Single-ply systems like TPO, PVC, and EPDM can be installed more swiftly usually within one to two weeks. In contrast, multi-layer systems, including BUR, modified bitumen, or metal roofing, tend to require a longer timeframe due to the complexity involved in their installation.
Cost Breakdown:
| Project Phase | Timeline | Scope of Work |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Roof Installation & Seaming | 5 to 14 days | Depending on the roof type and size (e.g., TPO and EPDM install faster than BUR or metal), our crew installs the new system with precision sealing and insulation. |
| Final Inspection & Site Cleanup | 1 to 2 days | We'll do a quality check, water-test the roof, and leave your property clean and business-ready. |
