Schedule Free InspectionOne Process Behind Every Roof Service
Repairs and full replacements follow the same five stages, scaled to the size of the job.
1
Inspect Your Roof
The roof walk covers the field, every seam, curb, drain, scupper, and edge, plus cores where moisture is suspected. The deck underside is checked from inside the building.
2
Recommend The Work
You get a written recommendation: repair, recover, or tear-off, which system, and why. Photos tie each item to the spot on the roof where it was found.
3
Line Up Permits And People
The right permit office is matched to the town, and the HVAC contractor, tenants, and delivery schedules are lined up before the start date.
4
Do The Roof Work
Repairs happen in a visit or two; replacements run section by section, each sealed before the crew leaves so the roof is watertight every night.
5
Walk It Together
A closing walk covers seams, flashing, drains, and edges with you, and the photos and assembly details go into your building file.
Commercial Roofing Replacement Answers for Florence Owners
Commercial roof replacement has no separate page here, so its five common questions are answered on this one.
Should an old commercial roof be torn off or recovered?
Tear-off strips the roof to the deck; a recover adds insulation and membrane over the existing roof. Under the building code Kentucky adopts, a recover is ruled out when the old roof is water-soaked or already has two or more layers. Tear-off gives a full view of the deck, while a recover makes less debris and noise.
What layers go into a new commercial roof?
From the deck up: decking repaired where rusted or rotted, a vapor retarder on humid buildings such as pools or food plants, flat or tapered polyiso sized to the energy code, a gypsum or high-density cover board, the membrane or panels, then base flashing, counterflashing, coping, and drip edge.
How are edge metal, coping, and parapet flashing handled?
They are replaced with the membrane on nearly every replacement, since the perimeter is where wind lifts a roof first and old flashing leaks. New edge metal sits at the new insulation height, sometimes on added blocking, and parapets get new base flashing, counterflashing, and coping sloped toward the roof.
What happens to drains, scuppers, and gutters?
Drains get new clamping rings, strainers, and extensions where the roof rises, with a tapered sump pulling water in. Scuppers get new metal boxes flashed into the membrane, overflow drains or scuppers sit a little above the primary ones, and gutters are resized when the taper changes where water reaches the edge.
Can a business stay open during a roof replacement?
Most do. Crews tear off only what they can dry in before leaving, protect the interior under open deck, control odors at RTU intakes during adhered work, time crane lifts outside busy delivery windows, and sign safety zones at doors. Offices and schools often move the loudest work to evenings or weekends.
Planning Questions Before Roof Work
Four questions that come up while owners weigh their options.
Which roof systems go on commercial buildings around Boone County?
TPO, EPDM, and metal cover most of them, with PVC and modified bitumen for specific needs. Single-ply membranes fit flat warehouse, retail, and office roofs; standing seam and R-panel fit pitched shops, barns, and plants. PVC goes near grease or chemical exhaust, and roofs crowded with RTUs need walkway pads.
What time of year works best for roof installation?
Late spring through fall, when surfaces stay warm enough for adhesives, primers, and sealants. Winter work still happens, since TPO welding and mechanically attached systems handle cold days better than adhered ones. Spring thunderstorms set the schedule day by day, so crews open only what they can seal before rain.
What sets the cost of a commercial roof replacement?
Roof size, the tear-off or recover decision, and detail work at curbs, walls, and edges matter more than the membrane. Each tear-off layer adds labor and hauling, wet insulation and deck repair add material, and every curb and pipe takes hand flashing. Cranes, height, and hatch locations add time, and the inspection measures each item.
Who should I call before rooftop unit work in Florence?
Your electric bill names the utility for the address; East Kentucky Power Cooperative lists Owen Electric for Boone County. An electrician and your HVAC contractor disconnect units while curbs are set and flashed. If solar is planned, ask the utility about interconnection before the racking layout is fixed.
