A fully adhered roofing system bonds the membrane directly to the insulation or roof substrate for strong stability and uplift protection. This installation method can be a good fit for commercial properties in higher-wind areas.
Mechanically attached roofing uses approved fasteners to secure the membrane and roofing assembly to the roof deck. It is a widely used installation method for commercial single-ply roofing systems and can provide an efficient solution for suitable buildings.
TPO is a reflective, single-ply membrane commonly used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. Its heat-welded seams, weather resistance, and reflective surface make it a practical option for many commercial properties.
EPDM is a flexible rubber roofing membrane known for its durability and resistance to changing weather conditions. Its elasticity performs particularly well through the temperature changes and freeze-thaw cycles common in Rhode Island.
PVC is a single-ply membrane used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. Its heat-welded seams and resistance to chemicals, grease, and moisture can make it a strong option for restaurants and other demanding commercial environments.
Commercial metal roofing provides a durable, weather-resistant option for Rhode Island buildings with compatible roof designs. Different systems are available based on the property's slope, use, appearance, and performance needs.
Commercial properties with pitched roofs require different materials and installation methods than low-slope buildings. We provide steep-slope roofing options based on the building design, existing roof, weather exposure, and performance needs.
Roof coatings add a protective layer over qualifying existing commercial roofing systems and may extend the roof's useful life. We evaluate the condition of the existing roof first to determine if a coating is an appropriate option.
The right system depends on your building's roof slope, existing materials, drainage, weather exposure, and other property needs. TPO, EPDM, PVC, metal roofing, and other systems each offer advantages for different types of commercial buildings.
TPO and PVC are thermoplastic single-ply membranes with heat-welded seams, while EPDM is a flexible synthetic rubber membrane. Roof design, temperature changes, chemical exposure, and performance needs can help determine which material is appropriate.
A roof coating can add a protective layer to certain existing commercial roofing systems and may help extend their useful life. The underlying roof must be in suitable condition, so an inspection should determine whether coating is a practical option.
Commercial roof lifespan varies by roofing material, installation, drainage, weather exposure, and maintenance. Routine inspections and timely repairs can help address developing problems and extend the roofing system's service life.
