Commercial Metal Roofing
Plan a commercial metal roof around your building’s needs. Compare panels, seams, insulation and repairs with attention to the details around edges and rooftop equipment.

Look beyond the panels
Ask how panel layout, slope, attachment, thermal movement and insulation fit your building. An assessment should consider existing structure and roof condition before a repair, recover or replacement approach is proposed.
Pay attention to transitions
Flashings, copings, gutters, roof edges and equipment penetrations need coordinated details. Ask who will measure, supply and fit these components, and how they will interface with adjacent roofing and drainage. Do not assume custom fabrication is included in a quote.
Keep the building in use
Discuss delivery space, lifting equipment, tenant access, noise and protection of equipment and inventory. Ask for a sequence of work and a plan for weather interruptions before agreeing to a schedule.
If the existing metal roof may be retained, explore coatings and restoration and ask a provider to assess suitability.
