Commercial roofing is an essential part of any business establishment. A well-installed and maintained roof can provide years of trouble-free service, while a poorly installed or neglected roof can lead to significant problems. Commercial roofs come in various materials, including metal, asphalt, TPO, PVC, EPDM, and built-up roofing. Each material has its unique features and benefits, making it suitable for different types of commercial roofing applications. However, choosing the best options for your roof comes with a dilemma.

Expert Strategies for Commercial Roof Installation
Installing a high-quality commercial roof is a complex process that requires advanced planning, precise workmanship, and expert oversight. As an experienced commercial roofing contractor, Mendez Roofing utilizes proven strategies to ensure every project results in a correctly installed system made to perform.
Thorough Evaluation & Planning
We start by carefully evaluating your property’s unique parameters that factor into proper installation. This includes measurements of all roof planes, existing structural/deck support, layouts for drains/vents/HVAC, insulation needs, access points and expected weather exposure. Our team then engineers an installation plan tailored to your building’s specifics accounting for code requirements in your area.
Conduct Tear-Offs Strategically
If replacing an older commercial roof, we map out a strategic tear-off sequence to systematically remove the previous roof without leaving the interior vulnerable at any point. This allows your business to remain fully operational as we complete the work efficiently. Proper debris disposal is also completed to minimize impact on operations.
Careful Layering Techniques
Our crews precisely install each component in the proper build-up sequence to promote drainage, prevent moisture issues, withstand wind pressures and avoid movement/degradation between layers over decades. This includes durable decking, effective vapor barriers/retarders, ample insulation, and resilient waterproof roof membranes.
Safety & Inspections
Rigorous safety procedures protect our crew, your property and operations during the re-roofing process. And consistent inspections of work completed at each stage ensures correct techniques are utilized through completion when county inspectors validate all is sound.
While leaks often spur check-ups, even dry roofs should undergo periodic commercial roof inspections to identify potential problems ahead of functional failures. Mendez Roofing offers comprehensive roof examinations to map out visible deficiencies along with expected lifespan estimates based on age/material analysis.
Our multi-point roof inspection checklist typically includes:
After thoroughly scrutinizing all key areas, we provide detailed inspection reports to summarize existing problems, results versus manufacturing spec, and photographic evidence from our drone examination.
Once your commercial roof passes its recommended service lifespan, a full replacement by Mendez Roofing can restore unbreached protection from the elements. We start by demolishing your outdated roof down to the strong deck foundation before essentially rebuilding a superior modern roofing system from scratch. Our commercial roofing process includes:
With roof replacements by Mendez Roofing, we install the roof correctly from day one by utilizing skilled technicians instead of basic laborers. We further back that workmanship with warranties that cover our own handiwork separately from the material coverage offered by manufacturers.
With complex commercial roofing projects, proper planning is crucial before demolition begins. Since most commercial sites can’t be exposed for long, key preparatory steps also avoid weather delays:
| Permit Approvals | Get required permits well beforehand so inspection delays don’t leave equipment exposed overnight. |
| Stock Material Onsite | Order all membranes, metals, fasteners etc with long leads early so everything is ready for roofing contractors. |
| Temporary Protection | Have a plan to shield open decks overnight to avoid emergency tarps in wet weather. |

Industry best practices call for semi-annual roof examinations to catch potential problems ahead of functional failures. Annual checks are acceptable for newer roofs under 5 years of age. Beyond 8-10 years without inspection risks major issues going unnoticed.
It depends on your facility’s needs, regional climate and municipal codes. Single ply thermoplastic/rubber and built up roofing systems provide durable waterproofing at lower cost but require more maintenance. Polyurethane foam roofs offer lighter installation and high long-term durability.
Yes, building codes require properly functioning roofs year-round. Issues like pooling water, major leaks or membrane detachment causing safety hazards can result in compliance fines if left unaddressed. Proactive repairs prevent violations.
Yes, standing seam metal systems can be installed over aged commercial roofs earning a tear-off scope. This allows reuse of existing strong structural decking. However, proper slope and attachments are crucial to avoid future panel uplift.
Typical 50,000 sq.ft stores take 1-2 weeks with multiple crews demolishing and resurfacing sections simultaneously. Larger big box facilities over 100,000 sq.ft may take 200 worker days spanning 4-6 weeks with additional peripheral work.
