Our Commercial Roofing Services
TPO Roofing Systems
We install Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing, the preferred choice for over 50% of new commercial roofs in Downey. TPO reflects up to 87% of UV rays, lowering energy costs and extending roof life up to 30 years. Heat-welded seams create a seamless, watertight surface, and Class A fire-rated membranes provide maximum safety and durability.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
We install Modified Bitumen systems designed for high-traffic areas and superior waterproofing. Roofs last 25 to 30 years and resist cracking and weathering in warm climates. Torch-down and cold-adhesive methods create multi-layer barriers that protect buildings from moisture infiltration.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
We provide BUR roofing, the proven “tar and gravel” solution known for longevity and reliability. BUR roofs last 30 to 35 years, delivering superior waterproofing and UV protection. Hot-mop and cold-apply techniques create multiple durable layers for maximum strength and energy efficiency.
EPDM Roofing Solutions
We specialize in EPDM rubber roofing, a cost-effective solution for large commercial buildings. EPDM resists UV rays, ozone, and extreme temperatures, with a lifespan exceeding 40 years. Fully adhered or mechanically fastened installation ensures a flawless, watertight surface.
Metal Roofing Systems
We provide metal roofing with standing seam and concealed fastener systems engineered to last over 50 years. Metal roofs reflect up to 85% of solar heat, reduce cooling costs, and carry Class A fire ratings. These roofs withstand high winds and heavy rain and require minimal maintenance.
Cool Roof Coatings
We install Cool Roof Coatings that reduce surface temperatures by up to 50°F, improving energy efficiency and extending roof life by 10 to 15 years. Silicone and elastomeric coatings create a seamless, reflective barrier that resists leaks, cracks, and weathering.
PVC Roofing Systems
We install PVC roofing, a chemical-resistant, energy-efficient single-ply membrane. PVC roofs last 25 to 35 years and are ideal for restaurants, warehouses, and industrial buildings. Hot-air welding creates a tight, watertight, and fire-resistant seal.
Roof Restoration and Coating Renewal
We restore and renew aging roofs to extend their lifespan by 10 to 20 years. Silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane coatings seal cracks, strengthen surfaces, and improve energy efficiency without full replacement.
Roof Maintenance and Inspection Programs
We provide comprehensive maintenance programs to prevent costly repairs and extend roof life. Regular inspections and upkeep avoid over 60% of roofing issues in Southern Los Angeles County. Infrared scanning, moisture detection, and detailed reports identify problems early and maintain peak roof performance year-round.
Types of Materials We Use for
Commercial Roofing
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) Roofing
We install TPO roofing membranes for commercial buildings that demand energy efficiency and durability. This material reflects up to 87 percent of UV rays, lowering cooling costs and extending roof life up to 30 years. Our heat-welded seams provide a fully watertight surface and ensure consistent, long-term performance under heavy sun exposure.
EPDM Rubber Roofing
We rely on EPDM rubber for commercial roofs that require flexibility and long-lasting protection. EPDM withstands extreme temperature swings, UV exposure, and ozone damage, delivering over 40 years of reliable service. We install fully adhered or mechanically fastened systems to create a seamless, weatherproof barrier for warehouses, offices, and industrial facilities.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
We apply Modified Bitumen membranes to commercial roofs that need a multi-layered, resilient solution. This system performs exceptionally well in high-traffic and industrial environments, providing superior waterproofing and resistance to cracking. We use torch-down or cold-adhesive installation to create a durable, long-lasting surface that protects rooftops for 20–30 years.
Metal Roofing Systems
We install galvanized steel and aluminum roofs for businesses seeking longevity, strength, and a modern aesthetic. Metal roofing lasts over 50 years, reflects up to 85 percent of solar heat, and provides fire resistance and wind protection. Our standing seam and concealed fastener systems ensure energy-efficient, weather-tight commercial roofs built to perform in Downey’s climate.
What Commercial Roof Issues We Solve
Roof Leaks and Water Ponding
We eliminate roof leaks and standing water, issues that affect nearly 40% of commercial roofs in Downey annually. Water accumulation weakens membranes, promotes mold growth, and risks interior damage. Using advanced infrared leak detection and custom drainage solutions, we remove water buildup and prevent future leaks to maintain full roof integrity.
Poor Installation or Aging Roofing Systems
We correct failures caused by improper installation or aging materials, which contribute to nearly 25% of commercial roof issues in the region. Older roofs often experience seam separation, poor insulation, and energy inefficiency. We perform complete retrofits, reinforcements, or replacements using modern materials that meet Title 24 energy standards and provide decades of reliable protection.
Membrane Cracking, Blistering, and UV Damage
We repair cracked, blistered, or UV-damaged membranes, common problems in Southern Los Angeles County due to sun exposure and temperature fluctuations. Studies show one in three flat commercial roofs develops surface cracks within 10 years. Our team applies high-performance patching, sealants, and reflective coatings to restore flexibility and extend roof life by up to 15 years.
Storm, Wind, and Debris Damage
We repair roofs affected by storms, high winds, and debris, which can lift seams, puncture membranes, and strain structural components. Seasonal weather in Downey and surrounding areas frequently causes emergency roofing issues. Our team reinforces vulnerable areas with impact-resistant membranes, high-strength fasteners, and protective coatings to restore durability and prevent future damage.
Commercial Roof Replacement Costs in Downey and Southern Los Angeles County
Replacing a commercial roof in Downey, CA, or anywhere in Southern Los Angeles County, typically costs between $6 and $18 per square foot, depending on the roofing type, building size, and complexity of installation.

Premium systems such as Modified Bitumen, Built-Up Roofing (BUR), and Metal Roofs can range from $16 to $22 per square foot, providing extra layers of protection and superior longevity for demanding commercial properties.
For most commercial projects in the area, materials account for roughly 45–50% of total costs, while labor and installation contribute 30–40%, influenced by roof accessibility, tear-off requirements, and any structural modifications. Local factors like roof slope, ventilation needs, and Downey or Southern LA County building codes can also impact the overall pricing.
