Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing is one of the most popular commercial roofing systems in San Diego. This single-ply membrane offers excellent energy efficiency with its white reflective surface, reducing cooling costs in San Diego's warm climate. TPO roofs are highly resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and chemical exposure, making them ideal for commercial properties. Our expert installation ensures heat-welded seams for superior watertight protection that can last 20-30 years with proper maintenance.
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber roofing is a proven, cost-effective solution for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. Known for its exceptional durability and weather resistance, EPDM performs excellently in all climate conditions. This rubber membrane is resistant to hail, wind, and temperature extremes, providing reliable protection for your commercial building. Available in black or white, EPDM roofing is easy to maintain and can last 25-30 years or more when properly installed by our certified roofing professionals.
Commercial metal roofing systems offer unmatched longevity and durability for San Diego businesses. We install standing seam metal roofs, corrugated metal panels, and metal shingle systems designed to last 40-70 years. Metal roofs are fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and require minimal maintenance. They're perfect for warehouses, industrial buildings, and commercial properties seeking a sustainable, long-term roofing solution. Our metal roof installations include proper insulation and ventilation to maximize energy efficiency and performance.
Modified bitumen roofing combines the proven performance of traditional built-up roofing with modern polymer technology. This multi-layer system provides excellent waterproofing and is particularly resistant to foot traffic, making it ideal for commercial buildings with rooftop equipment. Available in torch-applied, cold-adhesive, or self-adhering applications, modified bitumen offers flexibility in installation methods to suit your building's specific needs. The reflective cap sheet options help reduce energy costs while providing long-lasting protection.
Built-up roofing systems have protected commercial buildings for over a century. This time-tested method involves layering multiple plies of roofing felt with hot asphalt or cold-applied adhesives, creating a robust, waterproof membrane. BUR systems are extremely durable and offer excellent fire resistance. They perform well under heavy foot traffic and can support rooftop equipment. Our expert installers ensure proper application of each layer, topped with a protective surface like gravel or a reflective coating for optimal performance.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) roofing membranes are premium single-ply roofing systems known for their exceptional chemical resistance and durability. PVC roofs are ideal for restaurants, chemical processing facilities, or any commercial building exposed to grease, oils, or harsh chemicals. The heat-welded seams create a watertight barrier stronger than the membrane itself. With excellent fire resistance, wind uplift ratings, and energy-efficient white or tan colors, PVC roofing provides superior long-term performance for commercial properties in San Diego.
