Commercial Roof Systems in Chesapeake, VA | Commercial Roofing Chesapeake

Curbs, Walls and Clearance

A curb flashing may need new wood behind it even when the surrounding membrane is fine. Our PVC roofing work checks the membrane and how it ties into curbs and walls. Our KEE roofing work follows the requirements for that system's materials and installation. We explain how much clearance is needed under equipment, and the HVAC contractor handles any unit that has to be lifted or serviced. A thicker new roof can also raise the height at doors and curbs, so we plan for it before you choose a system.

Layered Roofs

Multi-layer roofs can hide wet or failed layers under a surface that looks intact. Our modified bitumen roofing work checks the layers and finds sound material to tie into. Our built-up roofing repairs use compatible materials for tar-and-gravel and other BUR systems. When hidden conditions would change whether the roof can stay, we take core samples, seal the openings and protect the space below. Structural questions go to an engineer. A new top layer does not fix what is underneath.

Metal Roofs

Metal panel seams are designed to let the panels expand and contract with temperature. Our standing seam metal roofing inspections check the seams, clips and fasteners before choosing a repair. Damaged seams may need new panels rather than a bead of sealant. Retrofit systems over old metal roofs require checking the existing structure and attachment. Gutters, flashings and curbs need attention too. For active leaks, emergency service is available on nights, weekends and holidays.

Roofs Across Chesapeake

Greenbrier, Great Bridge and Western Branch each have a wide mix of commercial buildings, and a neighborhood name tells us nothing about the roof. Roof system work in Greenbrier starts with the building's records and a fresh inspection. We review those records, then check the membrane, attachment, drainage and edges. Any coating or replacement has to suit the roof we confirmed. The owner reviews interior protection and access with us. Final records show the completed work and any equipment work left for other trades.

Commercial Roofing Questions

Can you tell what roof system I have by looking at it?

Sometimes, but not always. We check records and the membrane itself, because the repair materials must be compatible with what is there.

Why check under a roof that looks fine?

Wet insulation can hide under an intact membrane. If it changes whether the roof can be kept, we confirm it with core samples.

Will a new roof change equipment clearance?

It can. Thicker insulation raises the roof surface, so we check curb and door heights and coordinate with the HVAC contractor before choosing a system.

How do you repair a metal roof without stopping movement?

We repair or replace seams and fasteners in a way that keeps the panels free to expand and contract, following the panel system's details.
