Roof repair typically addresses a specific issue, such as a leak, storm damage, membrane puncture, flashing problem, or drainage concern.

Roof maintenance is a proactive service designed to inspect, clean, and care for the roof before small issues become larger problems.

Roof replacement is recommended when the existing roofing system has reached the end of its useful life or when repairs are no longer the most cost-effective solution.

Signs that your commercial roof may need repair or replacement include:

• Active leaks
• Ponding water
• Damaged flashing
• Loose seams
• Membrane deterioration
• Blistering
• Punctures
• Interior staining
• Rising energy costs
• or repeated service calls.

The best way to know the condition of your roof is to schedule a professional inspection. T&K can evaluate your existing roofing system and help determine whether repair, maintenance, restoration, or replacement is the right next step.

A commercial roof should generally be inspected at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall. It is also important to schedule an inspection after major weather events, including hail, high winds, heavy snow, or severe storms. Regular inspections can help identify small issues early and support the long-term performance of the roofing system.

Preventive roof maintenance helps protect your building, reduce unexpected repair costs, and extend the life of your roofing system. Regular maintenance allows trained professionals to identify issues such as clogged drains, open seams, damaged flashing, punctures, or early signs of wear before they cause larger problems inside the building.

If your roof is leaking, first protect the interior of the building by moving equipment, inventory, documents, and people away from the affected area. Place a container under active drips if it is safe to do so, and document the issue with photos. Then contact a qualified commercial roofing contractor. T&K can help inspect the roof, identify the source of the leak, and recommend the appropriate repair.

Yes. Hail, wind, heavy rain, ice, and debris can damage a roof even if water is not immediately entering the building. Storm damage may affect membranes, seams, flashing, roof edges, drains, gutters, rooftop equipment, or sheet metal components. A post-storm inspection can help identify damage early and prevent future leaks or performance issues.

A low-slope roof is a roofing system with a minimal pitch, commonly found on commercial and industrial buildings. These roofs require specialized materials and installation methods to manage water, drainage, seams, penetrations, and long-term exposure. Common low-slope roofing systems include TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, and fluid-applied systems.

Re-roofing is the process of replacing or recovering an existing roofing system. Depending on the condition of the current roof, insulation, deck, drainage, and code requirements, a re-roofing project may involve removing the existing roof or installing a new system over portions of the existing roof. A professional evaluation is needed to determine the best approach.

The lifespan of a commercial roof depends on the roofing system, installation quality, building use, weather exposure, drainage, maintenance, and repair history. Regular inspections and preventive maintenance can help maximize the life of the roof and reduce the risk of premature failure.

The best roofing system depends on several factors, including the building type, roof slope, drainage, budget, energy goals, building use, rooftop equipment, climate, maintenance expectations, and desired lifespan. T&K Roofing and Sheet Metal can help evaluate your options and recommend a system that fits your project.

Plaza decks and patio roofs are roofing or waterproofing systems designed for areas that may also serve as usable outdoor spaces. These systems require careful planning because they must manage water, protect the structure below, and support the intended use of the surface above.
