As an Evansville commercial roofing contractor, we install and replace TPO, EPDM, industrial, and metal roofs on business buildings across southwest Indiana.
Our Evansville commercial roofing work covers four systems, each matched to the deck, the drainage, and what runs under the roof.
Heat-welded white membrane for low-slope roofs on stores, offices, and plants that run their cooling hard through long Indiana summers.
Where Water Gets In
Rubber sheets in wide rolls, taped at few seams, for older flat roofs, schools, and offices where flexibility in the cold matters.
Where Water Gets In
Plant and warehouse roofs carrying exhaust, ductwork, and heavy units, with walkway pads and the work staged around shifts.
Where Water Gets In
Standing-seam and exposed-fastener panels for steel buildings, plus retrofit framing that carries new metal over a tired flat roof.
Where Water Gets In
These are the conditions owners call about most, and each one points to a different repair or replacement decision.
Rings of dirt where puddles sit for two days mean a sagging deck, a clogged drain, or crushed insulation. Standing water ages seams fastest, so we find the low spot before choosing a fix.
Laps that peel back by hand let wind push water under the sheet. On TPO the weld never fused; on EPDM the tape has let go. Wet insulation often sits right beside it.
A brown ring over an aisle seldom sits under the hole. Water runs along the deck flutes before dripping, so tracing it means walking the roof above and taking cores along the path.
Units shake, and every cycle works the flashing at the curb corners. Split corners and loose counterflashing are the leak points we find most on store and plant roofs here.
Expansion and contraction loosen exposed fasteners until the washer stops sealing. Rust trails run below each screw head, and water follows the threads into purlins and insulation.
A roof that gives when you step on it has wet or crushed insulation. Wet boards stop insulating and hold water against the deck, which decides whether a re-cover can work.
A new roof changes more than the leak count. These are the gains owners notice once the system is in.
Replacing wet boards brings back the insulation you paid for. Dry polyiso under a new membrane holds heat where it belongs and stops slow rot in the deck below.
New flashing at curbs, walls, and drains closes the spots where most leaks start. Maintenance staff spend less time chasing drips and more time on the building itself.
White TPO reflects much of the summer sun that a dark roof soaks up. Space under the deck stays cooler on July afternoons, and rooftop units work against a smaller load.
Each job ends with a written record of the system, insulation, and flashing details. Lenders, insurers, and future buyers ask for it, and so will the next roofer.
Call us and say where the water shows up inside and which roof area sits above it. That detail tells us what to check first.
Core cuts decide this. A dry, firmly attached roof can take a new membrane on top; a wet one comes off first.
Four steps, run the same way on a corner store or a plant roof.
We walk every section, check drains and curbs, and cut cores to see what is under the membrane. Findings go on a marked roof plan.
Your estimate lists the system, insulation thickness, flashing details, and deck repairs by area, so two bids can be compared line by line.
Material lifts, loud tear-off, and adhesive odor get scheduled around deliveries, shifts, and open hours. Each roof section is sealed before the crew leaves.
Together we walk the finished roof, probe welds and seams, and hand over a record of what was installed and where it went.
Plants, warehouses, stores, and church halls in these towns are where we install and replace commercial roofs most. Outside them? Call us or send us a message.
Short answers to what owners ask before a new roof goes on.
Any roof over a business use counts: stores, warehouses, plants, offices, schools, and churches. Most are low-slope or metal and are covered with TPO, EPDM, built-up, modified bitumen, or metal panels. Compared with a house, they carry rooftop units, bigger drains, and stricter code detailing, so the work runs differently.
For a retail center that cools hard all summer, white TPO usually wins: it reflects sun, and welded seams stand up to service traffic around units. EPDM earns a look where the roof flexes in cold or needs easy patching later. The existing roof, the penetrations, and the cooling load settle it.
That comes down to the system, the installation, drainage, and upkeep. Single-ply membranes often reach 20 to 30 years and metal often goes longer, while ponding, foot traffic, and ignored flashing cut that short. A spring and fall roof check with quick repairs keeps a roof toward the long end.
Ask which system they recommend and why, how wet insulation and deck damage get handled, and how the building stays open during the work. Get the scope in writing with materials, thickness, and flashing details, and ask who pulls the permit with the Building Commission. Compare scopes line by line before totals.
Size, the number of layers coming off, deck repairs, insulation thickness, and the system you choose set most of the price. Curbs, drains, and penetrations each add detail work, and crane time or working around open hours adds more. A free estimate at the building measures all of it and prices your roof.
Send the address and a few lines about the roof, or call. We set up a roof walk and core check at your building.
