Commercial Roofing in Los Angeles

Commercial roofing typically costs $4 to $12 per square foot installed, depending on the system. TPO and EPDM are on the lower end, while PVC, standing seam metal, and built-up systems run higher. Roof size, access, and existing conditions all factor into the final price.

TPO is the most popular choice right now for flat commercial roofs because it is energy efficient, durable, and cost effective. EPDM is proven over 30+ years for large flat roofs. PVC is best for restaurants and kitchens where grease exposure is a concern. The right system depends on your building, budget, and priorities.

TPO and EPDM systems typically last 20-30 years with proper maintenance. Built-up roofs can last 25-30 years. Metal commercial roofs go 40-50+ years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs make the biggest difference in how long any commercial roof actually lasts.

Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance programs that include regular inspections, drain clearing, seam checks, and minor repairs. These programs catch small problems before they become expensive and can extend your roof's life significantly. Most programs run on a semi-annual or quarterly schedule.

Manufacturer warranties range from 10 to 30 years depending on the system and installation method. As certified installers, we can offer the full manufacturer warranty, not just the basic coverage. We also provide our own workmanship warranty on every installation.

Los Angeles requires Title 24 energy compliance for commercial roofing, which means meeting minimum R-value and cool roof requirements. We handle all code compliance, permits, and inspections as part of the project. Your roof will meet or exceed current requirements.

Timeline depends on the building size and system. A 10,000 square foot TPO re-roof typically takes 1-2 weeks. Larger buildings, multi-story projects, or occupied buildings where we work in sections take longer. We give you a detailed schedule before starting.

We work around your operations as much as possible. For occupied buildings, we can schedule work in sections, work during off-hours, and coordinate with your team to minimize disruption. We discuss logistics before starting so there are no surprises.

Ponding water is the most common flat roof problem. We address it by adding tapered insulation to create positive drainage toward roof drains, installing additional drains or scuppers where needed, and clearing blocked drainage paths. Standing water should not remain on a flat roof more than 48 hours after rain.

Yes. Silicone, acrylic, and elastomeric coatings can add 10-15 years to an existing commercial roof at a fraction of replacement cost. The existing membrane needs to be in decent condition for a coating to work. We inspect and recommend whether coating or replacement is the better investment.

California Title 24 requires specific R-values for commercial roofing that vary by climate zone. Los Angeles generally requires R-20 or higher for new construction and re-roofs. We include the proper insulation in every commercial project to meet or exceed code requirements.

Yes, all permitting and inspection scheduling is handled in-house. We pull the permits, manage the paperwork, coordinate inspection dates with the city, and make sure the final sign-off is completed before we close out the project. You do not need to deal with any of that.

Yes. We work on occupied retail centers, office buildings, restaurants, and apartment complexes regularly. We coordinate with your management team to minimize noise and debris, schedule work around business hours and tenant needs, and maintain safety barriers throughout the project.

Yes. Drone inspections are especially useful for large commercial roofs where walking the entire surface is time-consuming. We capture high-resolution aerial photos and video that show membrane condition, drainage patterns, flashing details, and equipment penetrations.
