Commercial roofing is a different discipline from residential. Flat and low-slope systems (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing) each have specific installation requirements and performance characteristics. Downs Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs all of them across Downs.
Our Commercial Roofing Process
Commercial Roof Assessment
Before we recommend anything, we inspect everything. Membrane, seams, flashings, drains, penetrations, parapet walls, and rooftop equipment curbs. Core samples test for trapped moisture in the insulation. Honest assessment. No scare tactics.
Scope & Estimate
Your proposal includes material specifications, installation method, warranty terms, project timeline, and total cost. We itemize everything and explain why we're recommending the specific system for your building.
Expert Crew
Factory-trained crews using proper equipment, hot-air welders for TPO/PVC, torch equipment for modified bitumen, and adhesive systems for EPDM. Every seam, flashing, and penetration detail inspected before we leave.
Final Inspection
Your commercial roof gets a detailed completion package: as-built documentation, warranty certificates, maintenance recommendations, and emergency contact information for Downs Roofing & Maintenance.
