Services
Roof Replacement
Our roof replacement service expertly handles the removal of old systems and installation of new commercial roofs. We ensure proper drainage, code compliance, and seamless integration with building systems. Using high-performance materials like TPO, EPDM, and metal roofing, we deliver durable solutions tailored to New England's climate. Projects include comprehensive warranties and final inspections to guarantee long-term performance.
Leak Repair
We provide rapid response for commercial roof leaks with temporary stabilization and permanent fixes. Our process includes infrared moisture detection, membrane sealing, and flashing repairs. Technicians address common failure points like drain clogs and seal deterioration while minimizing business disruptions through efficient scheduling and material compatibility.
Roof Coatings
Commercial roof coatings extend system lifespan by 10-20 years while improving energy efficiency. We apply silicone, acrylic, and elastomeric coatings after thorough surface preparation. These systems prevent leaks, reflect UV rays, and reduce cooling costs. Each project includes multi-year warranties and maintenance recommendations to maximize ROI for flat, low-slope, and metal roofing systems.
Roof Inspections
Our comprehensive inspections use infrared imaging and visual assessments to identify hidden moisture, structural issues, and drainage problems. Certified technicians document findings with photos and prioritize repairs. Services include warranty reviews, maintenance planning, and core cut analysis to determine insulation condition and decking integrity for informed decision-making.
Rooftop Unit Installation
We specialize in watertight installation of rooftop HVAC units with precise curb placement. Our process ensures proper sealing around penetrations and integration with existing roofing membranes. Projects include final waterproofing checks and coordination with mechanical contractors to maintain system efficiency and roof warranty compliance.
