Commercial Roofing Services

Replace or recover

A full replacement removes the old roof and builds a new one to current code. A recover adds a layer over a dry, sound roof and skips the tear-off. Moisture readings decide which path is open. We price both when the roof allows it.

Occupied buildings add rules. An occupied reroof runs in strips, each closed before dark, so tenants never sit under open deck.

The Port of Bellingham industrial parks, the retail along the Guide Meridian near Bellis Fair and the medical buildings around PeaceHealth St. Joseph each have their own constraints. A hospital has shutdown windows. A retail roof has holiday weeks. A Marine Drive shop has salt on every fastener. The scope follows the building.

Repair and respond

Open seams, failed flashings and punctured membranes get a repair priced by item. Emergency calls are answered at any hour, with the first goal of stopping water and documenting damage. After wind events like the March 2016 gusts of 67 mph or the November 2024 bomb cyclone, storm repair starts at the edges.

Find the cause

A stain on a ceiling is not a diagnosis. A hands-on inspection reads the roof. A drone flight covers large or tall roofs fast. An infrared moisture survey maps wet insulation that no photo shows. The result is a written report with photos and a ranked list.

Findings sort into three piles, urgent, before winter and replace later, each with a location and a cost range.

Keep it small

Preventive maintenance clears drains, reseals penetrations and catches lifted edges before the rain. Coating restoration extends a sound roof without a tear-off. Detail work such as edge metal and coping gets its own line, since edges take the wind first.

Penetrations get the same care. Curbs, pipes and skylights are small by area and large by schedule, and a rushed flashing is where most leaks begin.

Specialty scopes

Some jobs need their own plan: solar-ready roof prep, reflective roofs and work on military installations, where gate access and escorts set the schedule. Claims work runs on dated photos and a written scope.

Commercial Roofing Questions

Which service comes first on a leaking roof?

Stopping the water, then finding the cause. Emergency work seals the entry and records the damage. The permanent fix waits for dry weather unless the roof can be closed safely.

How do I choose between a recover and a replacement?

Moisture readings lead. A dry, sound assembly can take a recover. Saturated insulation points toward replacement. We price both when the roof allows.

When does maintenance pay off?

On any roof with drains, curbs or seams, because clogged drains and lifted laps cause most wet-season failures. A visit before November costs far less than a leak call in January.

What does a first walk produce?

Photos, a roof plan with every finding marked and a ranked list with cost ranges, so a contractor can bid without a second visit.

Can the work run while tenants stay inside?

Yes, in strips sized to what the crew can close the same day. Loud tasks move to hours the building allows, and intakes within reach are sealed.

Send the roof plan and the problem

Send the drawings, the roof spec and the target dry-in window. We will price each task as its own line so you see where the money goes.
