New Construction Commercial Roofing
Innovative Roofing Systems for Modern Commercial Buildings
Overview of Our New Construction Roofing Service
One of the most critical considerations when constructing commercial and industrial buildings is selecting and installing the roofing system. While its primary role is to shield the structure from weather conditions, ensuring that the roofing solution aligns with the specific activities conducted within the building and suits the local climate is equally essential. Therefore, careful attention should be given to choosing the right type of roof and the materials used in its construction.
Although these terms are often used interchangeably, it is crucial to recognize that installing a new roof for new construction and replacing an existing roof are distinct processes. While both result in a new roof, the methods differ significantly. Roof replacement entails removing the old system before installing a new one, whereas installing a roof for new construction begins from the ground up.
Installing roofing systems for new construction encompasses roof design and planning, material selection, installation, and thorough inspection with quality control. This service ensures a strong, secure, durable roof that safeguards the building and its occupants. Regardless of your specific needs, consulting with professionals is essential. Choosing the right materials and skilled contractors guarantees durability, quality, and efficiency and enhances the aesthetic appeal of your roof and the overall structure.
Why is the Service Essential for Commercial Properties?
Installing roofing systems is vital to constructing any commercial building, providing a strong, durable, and energy-efficient foundation for the entire structure. Long-term durability is one of the most critical considerations when choosing the best solution for your property. With the right materials and design, your roof can last for decades, offering essential protection for the building's structure, contents, and occupants.
Commercial buildings are continuously exposed to various weather conditions, including rain, snow, wind, intense sunlight, and high temperatures during the summer. Therefore, selecting a roofing solution that can withstand all weather extremes is essential.

Your business's building must be secure, and the roofing system installed during new construction should fully comply with all local building codes, regulations, and safety standards.
In today's world, aesthetics are highly valued, making them an essential consideration when constructing new commercial buildings. The roofing structure plays a significant role in the overall aesthetic of the building and can even contribute to increasing its value. Cost-effectiveness is also a key factor when it comes to value. By investing in a high-quality roof from the outset, commercial property owners can avoid potential issues and prevent costly repairs and replacements down the road, ultimately ensuring greater value over the long term.

Commercial Roofing Systems
TPO Roofing
TPO is an excellent choice for commercial properties seeking energy-efficient and durable solutions. Known for its reflective properties, TPO roofing helps reduce heat absorption, keeping buildings cooler and lowering energy costs. This makes it particularly beneficial in warmer climates or businesses looking to improve their environmental sustainability.
In addition to its energy efficiency, TPO roofing is highly flexible and easy to repair. Its single-ply membrane design allows quick and seamless patching, minimizing downtime and repair costs. With resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and punctures, TPO roofs offer a reliable and long-lasting option for commercial buildings, combining performance with cost-effectiveness.
PVC Roofing
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) roofing membranes are a durable and energy-efficient option for flat roofs, renowned for their resistance to various external elements. This roofing type offers numerous advantages, including a long lifespan, eco-friendly properties, and resistance to a wide range of chemicals, oils, and fats, making it an ideal solution for industrial buildings. Known for their longevity, PVC membranes can last over 20 years with minimal maintenance. A significant advantage of these roofing systems is their ease of installation, thanks to their flexibility and ability to adapt to various roof shapes and sizes. They are also easy to maintain, with simple repairs, and in the event of damage, PVC membranes can be easily fixed without needing a complete system replacement.
EPDM
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) roofing systems are popular for flat and low-slope roofs, particularly in commercial and industrial buildings. This material is highly durable and flexible, with excellent resistance to sunlight and heat. It is ideal for commercial properties that maintain cool interiors, such as warehouses, laboratories, and factories.
Additionally, business owners often choose EPDM roofing for its cost-effectiveness. Made from synthetic rubber, these roofs are significantly cheaper to manufacture.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are becoming an increasingly popular choice for commercial buildings due to their durability and resistance to external elements. Available in various materials, including steel, aluminum, copper, and titanium, they can be crafted in different styles, such as corrugated panels, overlapping panels, and shingles-like tiles. Metal roofs are highly durable, often lasting between 40 to 70 years, making them one of the most long-lasting roofing solutions.
They are resistant to strong winds, rain, snow, and hail, and of all commercial roofing options, metal is the most fire-resistant. Installation is straightforward, as the panels are quickly connected and placed. Additionally, metal roofs require minimal maintenance, are easy to clean, and can be easily repaired. With a wide range of styles, colors, and shapes available, metal roofs can seamlessly integrate into the design of any building. Whether aiming for a traditional shingle look, a modern panel design, or a sophisticated copper finish, metal roofs can achieve the desired aesthetic effect.
Built-up/Asphalt Roofing
Built-up or asphalt roofing systems are among the most well-known and durable options for commercial buildings, having been used for over 100 years. They are characterized by their unique multi-layered structure, consisting of several bituminous materials coated with asphalt or other substances to create a seamless surface that offers superior protection against leaks and other weather-related issues.
The multi-layer construction is the key advantage of these roofing systems—if one layer is damaged, the underlying layers continue to protect the structure. This approach ensures enhanced durability and extends the lifespan of the roof. Additionally, these roofs are highly resistant to water, UV radiation, wind, temperature fluctuations, and physical impacts. With regular maintenance, these roofs can last up to 30 years, making them an excellent investment.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen roofs are designed for exceptional strength and durability, making them ideal for commercial buildings that require long-lasting protection. Adding polymers makes these roofs more resistant to wear, UV radiation, harsh weather conditions, and mechanical damage, significantly extending their lifespan. They remain stable even in extreme temperature conditions without cracking or weakening.
One of the key advantages of modified bitumen roofs is their suitability for flat or low-slope surfaces, where drainage can be challenging. Their flexibility and excellent adhesion to the roof structure create a waterproof barrier that prevents leaks, even on roofs with minimal slope.
Our Other Services
Roof inspections are essential for maintaining the longevity and effectiveness of your property's protection. At Applied Roofing, we conduct daily roof inspections and evaluations, offering expert recommendations to ensure quality and durability.

Process Steps for a Commercial Roofing Project
Installing a roof on commercial buildings can often seem like a complex process. However, with the right partner, it becomes much simpler. The first step is to develop a plan. Our expert team meets with clients to identify their needs and project goals. We then conduct a site visit and inspection to assess the existing conditions and requirements. During this phase, we identify potential challenges and propose the best solutions to overcome them, creating a plan fully tailored to the client's needs.
The next step is to create a comprehensive project proposal, which includes material options, timelines, costs, and the design of the roofing system, all tailored to the building's structure and function. Once the project is presented to the client and approved, we move on to the next phase.
Before starting the installation process, it is essential to obtain all necessary building permits and ensure that the project complies with all local regulations. At this stage, our team will visit the site again to verify that everything is ready to begin work. This will be followed by ordering materials and organizing logistics.
The workers will then prepare the roof surface by removing old materials, debris, and dirt, as a clean surface is vital for the proper adhesion of the new materials.
Roof installation is a critical phase in any commercial or industrial construction project. The quality of the installation directly impacts the roof's longevity, safety, and efficiency, making this stage highly significant. For roof replacements, the first step is to remove the existing roofing system. Before installation, insulation is applied, as it is one of the most important components of commercial roofs. It helps to regulate the building's internal temperature and improve energy efficiency. Typically, insulation is installed before the main roofing system.
Once this step is completed, the actual roof installation begins, with meticulous attention to detail. The technique used depends on the chosen roofing system. For TPO systems, installation involves welding the edges of the membranes to create an airtight, water-resistant seal. On the other hand, PVC roofing systems use welding or adhesive bonding to join the membranes, providing flexibility and long-lasting durability. Metal roofing systems require precise panel installation and the joining of metal parts using screws or rivets, ensuring a strong and reliable protective layer. Each technique is essential for ensuring the roof's long-term safety and performance.
Proper alignment of all roofing components is crucial during installation to ensure adequate water drainage and even weight distribution across the structure. Every type of roofing system should be installed with long-term durability in mind. The roof must withstand extreme weather conditions, including storms, significant temperature fluctuations, and UV radiation. All seams, coverings, and protective layers must be installed to remain secure and functional. A high-quality roof installation ensures optimal performance and longevity, safeguarding the property below and minimizing future repair and maintenance costs.
Once the roof is installed, the contractor will complete tasks such as installing finishing elements, including edge protection, roofing details, and drainage systems. At this stage, our team of experts will conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets quality standards. Further adjustments and corrections will be made to perfect the project if needed.
After a joint walk-through, we will provide the client valuable advice and guidance on ongoing maintenance to ensure the roof's long-term performance. Our team will continue to offer ongoing support to clients as needed. At Applied Roofing, our systematic approach guarantees that each project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of excellence.
