Your commercial property is the heart of your business. Its roof is the first line of defense, protecting your assets, inventory, employees, and customers from Utah’s harshest weather. A failing commercial roof doesn’t just lead to leaks; it can cause operational shutdowns, safety hazards, and significant financial loss. At Best Roofing Utah, we provide specialized commercial roofing services designed to deliver long-term performance, energy efficiency, and a solid return on your investment.
We understand that commercial projects demand a higher level of expertise, planning, and precision. Our goal is to deliver a superior roofing system with minimal disruption to your daily operations, allowing you to focus on what you do best: running your business.
Our Comprehensive Commercial Roofing Services
Whether you manage a retail center, an office building, or an industrial warehouse, we offer a full suite of services tailored to the unique lifecycle of your property’s roof:
- Commercial Roof Replacement & Reroofing: We install durable, modern roofing systems designed for the longevity and performance that commercial properties require. We handle everything from complete tear-offs to installing new systems over existing ones where applicable.
- Commercial Roof Leak Repair: From persistent leaks to damage from rooftop HVAC units, we provide fast and effective repairs to prevent costly downtime. Our 24/7 Emergency Service ensures we’re there when you need us most.
- New Construction Roofing: We partner with general contractors, architects, and developers to design and install high-performance roofing systems on new commercial projects across Utah, ensuring compliance with all building codes and specifications.
- Preventative Maintenance Programs: The smartest way to maximize your investment and prevent unexpected failures. Our custom maintenance plans include regular inspections, debris removal, drain cleaning, and proactive repairs to identify and address minor issues before they become major liabilities. This is key to roof asset management.
- Roof Coatings & Restoration: A cost-effective alternative to a full replacement. Advanced silicone and acrylic coatings can seal leaks, reflect UV rays to improve energy efficiency (cool roofs), and add years of functional life to your existing roof.
We Specialize in All Major Commercial Roofing Systems
Our Licensed & Insured crews have deep expertise in the industry’s leading commercial roofing materials. We can help you choose the perfect system for your building’s needs, budget, and long-term goals.
- TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin): A highly popular choice for Utah businesses. Its white, reflective surface is excellent for energy efficiency, significantly reducing cooling costs during hot summers. TPO is durable, flexible, and resistant to punctures.
- Best For: Warehouses, big-box retail stores, and office buildings seeking a balance of performance and energy savings.
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Often called a “rubber roof,” EPDM is known for its exceptional durability and long lifespan, often lasting 30 years or more. It’s a reliable and cost-effective solution for low-slope roofs.
- Best For: Industrial facilities, distribution centers, and buildings with large, simple roof layouts where extreme durability is the top priority.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Renowned for its strength, durability, and superior resistance to fire, chemicals, and grease, making it an ideal choice for restaurants and industrial facilities.
- Best For: Restaurants, food processing plants, and manufacturing facilities where exposure to chemicals or grease is a concern.
- Modified Bitumen: An evolution of traditional asphalt roofing, this multi-layered system is incredibly tough and offers superior waterproofing and tear resistance, making it great for roofs with regular foot traffic.
- Best For: Buildings with significant rooftop equipment and regular maintenance foot traffic.
- Metal Roofing: For commercial buildings with sloped roofs, standing seam metal offers a modern aesthetic combined with unparalleled longevity, fire resistance, and low maintenance.
- Best For: Banks, modern office buildings, schools, and retail centers with architectural sloped roof features.
Common Commercial Roofing Problems We Solve in Utah
Utah’s unique climate presents specific challenges for commercial roofs. We are experts at diagnosing and fixing:
- Ponding Water: Poor drainage on flat roofs can lead to water accumulation, which adds immense weight and accelerates material degradation.
- UV Damage: The high altitude and intense sun in Utah can cause roof membranes to become brittle and crack over time.
- Punctures and Membrane Tears: Caused by hail, dropped tools from HVAC maintenance, or foot traffic.
- Failing Seams and Flashing: The most common source of leaks, where membranes join together or meet walls and rooftop units.
- Clogged Drains, Scuppers, and Gutters: Debris buildup prevents proper water flow, leading to backups and leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial Roofing
How is commercial roofing different from residential roofing?
Commercial roofs are typically low-slope or flat, requiring specialized materials like TPO or EPDM membranes designed to handle potential water pooling. Residential roofs are steep-sloped and use materials like shingles. Commercial projects also involve stricter building codes, considerations for heavy rooftop HVAC units, and detailed logistical planning to avoid business disruption.
How long should a commercial roof last?
Lifespan varies by material. A well-maintained EPDM or PVC roof can last 30+ years. TPO roofs typically last 20-30 years. A roof coating can extend the life of an existing roof by 10-15 years. Regular maintenance is the single most important factor in maximizing lifespan.
Is a preventative maintenance plan really necessary?
Absolutely. A maintenance plan is the most cost-effective way to protect your investment. It prevents small issues (like clogged drains or minor punctures) from becoming major leaks that cause property damage and operational downtime. Many manufacturer warranties also require proof of regular maintenance to remain valid.
What is a “cool roof” and how does it save my business money?
A “cool roof” uses highly reflective materials, like white TPO or specialized coatings, to reflect sunlight and absorb less heat. In Utah’s sunny climate, this can dramatically lower the temperature of your roof, reducing the load on your HVAC system and significantly cutting down on summer energy bills.
What kind of warranty comes with a new commercial roof?
We provide two layers of protection. First is our workmanship warranty, which covers the quality of our installation. Second is the manufacturer’s warranty, which covers defects in the roofing materials themselves. As certified installers for top brands, we can offer the most comprehensive and long-term manufacturer warranties available in the industry.
