Commercial Property Types We Serve
Our commercial roofing experience spans diverse property types throughout Greater Tucson. Each category presents specific challenges requiring specialized knowledge and appropriate solutions.
Strip malls, standalone stores, and shopping complexes require roofing that protects inventory and maintains business operations. We schedule work minimizing customer disruption and coordinate with multiple tenants when necessary. Retail properties often need a fast turnaround preventing revenue loss from closed businesses.
Professional office spaces demand quiet, efficient roofing work respecting business operations. We coordinate projects around tenant schedules, maintain clean worksites appropriate to professional environments, and complete projects systematically to minimize disruption. Multi-tenant buildings require careful communication with property managers and individual businesses.
Manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and warehouse operations need durable roofing withstands equipment operations and accommodates unique structural requirements. Large roof areas require efficient project management. Heavy equipment access and operational schedules demand flexible coordination.
Property management companies overseeing commercial and residential portfolios need reliable roofing partners. We work closely with Tierra Serena HOA and other property managers, providing consistent service across multiple properties. Volume relationships allow competitive pricing while maintaining quality standards.
Healthcare offices, dental practices, and professional services require minimal disruption roofing. Sensitive equipment, patient care continuity, and professional image considerations guide our project approach. We maintain appropriate conduct and site conditions for these environments.
Complete Commercial Roofing Solutions
New construction and building additions require roofing partners who coordinate seamlessly with construction schedules. Our commercial installation services ensure projects stay on timeline while meeting quality specifications. We work with general contractors, developers, and building owners throughout Tucson on commercial construction.
New installations include proper slope and drainage design, quality underlayment and membrane systems, equipment curb coordination with mechanical contractors, penetration flashing for maximum longevity, and warranty documentation for building owners. Commercial installations must meet specific code requirements, insurance standards, and performance expectations exceeding residential demands.
Aging commercial roofs eventually require complete replacement. We assess existing systems honestly, explaining when replacement makes better financial sense than continued repairs. Complete replacement projects involve comprehensive planning minimizing business disruption, efficient tear-off and disposal, structural deck inspection and repairs, modern system installation, and coordination with building operations.
Many Tucson commercial properties feature roofs installed 20-30 years ago now requiring replacement. We help property owners and managers plan these significant investments strategically, often phasing large projects to manage budgets and minimize operational impact.
Not every commercial roofing problem requires full replacement. Strategic repairs address specific damage economically, extending roof life while property owners plan for eventual replacement. Our commercial repair services include leak detection and repair, membrane patching and sealing, flashing repairs around equipment, drain and scupper clearing, and emergency repairs preventing business disruption.
Quick response matters for commercial properties. Water intrusion threatens inventory, equipment, and business operations. We prioritize commercial emergency calls during business hours, understanding that roof leaks cannot wait when businesses face operational impacts.
Protective roof coatings extend commercial roof life significantly while improving energy performance. Coating application costs substantially less than replacement, providing an excellent return on investment for buildings with structurally sound roofs that show signs of surface aging. Our coating services include elastomeric coatings, sealing and protecting, aluminum coatings, maximizing reflectivity, and silicone coatings offering superior waterproofing.
Cool roof coatings reduce surface temperatures dramatically during Tucson’s intense summers. Commercial buildings with large roof areas see measurable energy savings from reflective coating systems. Many property owners use strategic coating timing to delay replacement for several years while maintaining adequate protection.
Comprehensive restoration addresses multiple issues simultaneously, returning aging roofs to serviceable condition without the complete replacement expense. Restoration projects combine repairs, coating application, drainage improvements, and equipment upgrades, creating renewed systems at a fraction of replacement cost.
Property managers appreciate restoration options for portfolio properties that require attention but do not warrant immediate replacement investment. Restoration extends useful life 10-15 years when executed properly, providing time to budget for eventual replacement while maintaining adequate building protection.
Preventive maintenance protects commercial roofing investments by conducting regular inspections, identifying problems early, removing debris, preventing drainage issues, performing minor repairs before escalation, and documenting for property records. Maintenance programs prove particularly valuable for property management companies overseeing multiple buildings.
We customize maintenance schedules based on roof type, building age, and property priorities. Some clients prefer quarterly inspections. Others schedule biannual service. We adapt programs to specific circumstances rather than imposing one-size-fits-all approaches.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Our three-ply BUR system uses Johns Manville materials proven across decades in Southern Arizona. Multiple layers create redundant waterproofing with base layer installation, hot asphalt between plies, cap sheet on parapet walls, and protective coating layers. BUR systems deliver reliable performance for commercial flat roofs when properly installed and maintained.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen provides flexible, durable protection for commercial low-slope applications. Installation creates strong seams resisting Tucson’s wind and weather. Walking surfaces accommodate rooftop equipment access without membrane damage. We coordinate equipment placement and access requirements with building owners and mechanical contractors.

Cool Roof Systems
Reflective roofing dramatically reduces cooling costs in commercial buildings. Tucson’s extreme summer heat makes cool roof technology particularly valuable. Surface temperature reductions of 50-70 degrees translate directly to lower air conditioning loads. Commercial properties with extensive roof areas see substantial energy savings, justifying cool roof investment.
