Navigating Commercial Roofing in Florida: What Every Business Needs to Know

image of commercial building in Florida

According to the SBA, The Sunshine State has about 2.8 million small businesses. This represents around 99.8% of all the businesses in the state and employs around 3.6 million workers, or approximately 41.1% of the state’s private-sector workforce. And there’s one thing every establishment has in common—a need for a robust roof overhead.

In a state known for its tropical storms and intense sun, ensuring you’ve got the best commercial roofing for your business is a crucial decision. As one of Florida’s most experienced roofing companies, let us be your guide in understanding the essentials of commercial roofing.

Why Commercial Roofing Differs from Residential

Florida’s climate isn’t just a challenge for homeowners; businesses too have their fair share of roofing woes. However, commercial roofing is a different ball game from its residential counterpart.

Size and Scale

Let’s state the obvious—commercial properties are often larger. This scale means more materials, specialized techniques, and increased labor.

Design Complexity

From flat roofs to those with specialized equipment (like HVAC systems), commercial buildings have varied designs which often require tailored roofing solutions.

Key Roofing Materials for Florida Businesses

Florida’s climate demands specific materials that can weather its unique challenges such as, Built-Up Roofing (BUR), TPO & EPDM Roofing and Modified Bitumen.

Key Roofing Materials for Florida Businesses

Local knowledge isn’t just about knowing the best seafood joint in town (though we can recommend a few!). When it comes to roofing, local expertise is indispensable.

Understanding of the Climate

Florida’s climate is unique, and a local company understands how to navigate its challenges from firsthand experience

Fast Response Times

When an unexpected storm hits and you find yourself in need of immediate repairs, a local company can be on-site swiftly, minimizing damage and downtime.

Making the Right Investment for Your Business

We get it—opting for commercial roofing is a significant investment. But remember, it’s also an investment in your business’ future. A solid, well-maintained roof not only protects your property but also your inventory, equipment, and, most importantly, your reputation.

Florida has seen businesses suffer due to subpar roofing choices. But on the flip side, we’ve also seen businesses thrive thanks to making informed, smart roofing decisions.

Key Commercial Roofing Materials for Florida Businesses

  • Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
  • TPO & EPDM Roofing
  • Modified Bitumen

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

Built-Up Roofing, often abbreviated as BUR, made its debut in the mid-1800s. This roofing system involves the application of multiple layers of asphalt between ply sheets, also known as felts, over the roof deck and insulation. Often referred to as “tar and gravel” roofs, BUR is a layered approach, providing added protection from the elements. Its durability makes it a favorite among Florida businesses.

TPO & EPDM Roofing

Both are types of single-ply roofing membranes with their respective pros and cons. While TPO reflects the sun (a plus for Florida’s heat), EPDM, often known as rubber roofing, is known for its resilience against storms.

Modified Bitumen

This is an evolution of BUR, combining its layered protection with modern roofing technology. It’s particularly resistant to foot traffic—a bonus for buildings with rooftop utilities.

Best Practices for Florida Commercial Roofing

  • Regular Maintenance
  • Routine Inspections
  • Addressing Repairs Swiftly

Regular Maintenance

At SCM ROOFING, we understand that regular maintenance is the cornerstone of extending the lifespan and ensuring the optimal performance of your commercial roof. Our dedicated team is committed to offering proactive maintenance services tailored to your specific roofing system. This includes routine inspections, cleaning, and preventive measures to identify and rectify minor issues before they escalate into major problems.

Our Approach to Regular Maintenance:

  • Scheduled Inspections: We establish a maintenance schedule to conduct routine inspections of your commercial roof. These inspections are designed to catch any early signs of wear and tear, damage, or potential vulnerabilities.
  • Cleaning and Debris Removal: Our team will remove debris, dirt, and organic materials that can accumulate on your roof and contribute to deterioration. This is particularly important in Florida, where leaves, algae, and other elements can impact the integrity of your roof.
  • Sealant and Coating Application: We offer roof coating and sealing services to enhance the protective barrier of your roof. These coatings can improve energy efficiency and waterproofing.
  • Gutter and Drain Maintenance: Proper drainage is crucial in Florida’s climate. We ensure that gutters and drains are clear, preventing water accumulation and potential leaks.
  • Documentation: We maintain detailed records of each maintenance visit, which can be essential for warranty claims and tracking the history of your roof.

Routine Inspections

Our team at SCM ROOFING emphasizes the importance of routine inspections as a proactive measure to safeguard your commercial roofing investment. Our experienced inspectors are well-versed in Florida’s unique climate challenges and are trained to identify even subtle signs of roofing issues

Our Approach to Routine Inspections:

  • Scheduled Inspections: We set up regular inspection appointments to thoroughly examine your roofing system. These inspections are typically conducted semi-annually or as needed based on your specific roof and environmental conditions.
  • Comprehensive Assessment: Our inspectors meticulously evaluate the condition of your roof, checking for issues such as leaks, membrane damage, flashing problems, and potential points of weakness.
  • Thorough Reporting: After each inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the findings, recommended actions, and estimated timelines for any necessary repairs or maintenance.
  • Emergency Inspections: In cases of extreme weather events like hurricanes or storms, we can provide emergency inspections to assess and address any damage promptly.

Addressing Repairs Swiftly

At SCM ROOFING, we understand that addressing repairs swiftly is crucial in Florida’s unpredictable climate. We prioritize timely and effective repairs to prevent further damage and maintain the structural integrity of your commercial roof.

Our Approach to Addressing Repairs Swiftly:

  • 24/7 Emergency Service: We offer around-the-clock emergency repair services to address unexpected issues promptly, ensuring that your business operations remain uninterrupted.

CONSIDER THESE PRO TIPS:

Research and Select a Reputable Contractor:

Start by researching local roofing contractors with a strong reputation for commercial projects. Check online reviews, ask for referrals from other businesses, and verify their credentials and licenses.

Request Multiple Quotes:

Don’t settle for the first quote you receive. Request quotes from multiple contractors to compare costs, materials, and services offered. Ensure that each quote is detailed and includes the scope of work, materials, warranties, and pricing breakdowns.

Consider Local Expertise:

Choose a roofing contractor with experience working in Florida’s climate. Local expertise is invaluable for dealing with the region’s weather, including hurricanes, intense heat, and humidity.

Material Selection:

Discuss the different roofing materials suitable for Florida’s climate, such as TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, or metal roofing. Consider factors like energy efficiency, durability, and maintenance requirements when selecting materials.

Verify Insurance and Licensing:

Confirm that the roofing contractor has the necessary licenses and insurance, including liability and workers’ compensation coverage, to protect both parties in case of accidents or damages.

Obtain References:

Ask the contractor for references from previous commercial clients, and reach out to them to learn about their experience with the company.

Timeline and Project Schedule:

Discuss the project timeline, including start and completion dates, and ensure it aligns with your business needs and any potential weather-related constraints.

Permit and Compliance:

Ensure the contractor handles all necessary permits and adheres to local building codes and regulations.

Communicate Clearly:

Maintain open and clear communication with your roofing contractor throughout the project. Regular updates and addressing concerns promptly are essential for a successful roofing project.

Robbie walked us through every step of our new roof installation from answering questions, providing a quick estimate, and scheduling. I did a lot of research in deciding the best contractor based on reviews and testimonials and this is the company I ended up with. I’m glad I found them. The installation was quick and professional. All the debris was cleaned and no corners were cut during the process. I highly recommend SCM. Our roof looks amazing!

Robbie Brown and the SCM Roofing Crew are great! Robbie is very responsive to questions and inquiries. I was provided helpful resources to review to make informed decisions about the materials available for roof installation. The work crew worked diligently and safely. The property was cleaned after installation to manage waste associated with the job. I would recommend the company to family or friends without hesitation.

After receiving a few quotes for a new roof, we decided to go with SCM Roofing. A friend of mine recently used them and was very pleased with the results. I worked with Robbie who was very professional and knowledgeable. I don't like pushy salespeople, so it was nice working with Robbie who totally earned my trust. Their price was great so we feel like we got a good value, and their workmanship and materials were top notch. While replacing my roof, they found and repaired some damaged areas at a very fair price. I have recommended them to friends and neighbors and would not hesitate to use them again.
