Commercial Roofing Systems Jackson, MS

There are several types of commercial roofing systems which range greatly in terms of project scope, complexity, and material. Another factor that varies greatly with the different systems is the cost of a commercial roof replacement which will vary depending on your building’s structure and the material you’d prefer to use. Many commercial buildings have flat roofs or low-slope roofs, designed to avoid pooling water and easy application of various material types. Common commercial roof building materials include:

• Single-Ply Roofing: A waterproof and durable single-layer synthetic material membrane that is lightweight, cost-effective, and UV resistant. Types include EPDM, PVC, TPO.
• Metal Roofing: Known for its durability, fire resistance, and energy efficiency. The most common types are standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingles.
• Built-Up Roofing (BUR): Layers of asphalt or coal tar alternated with fabric reinforcements that provide superior waterproofing and are incredibly durable. 
• Modified Bitumen Roofing: These asphalt and polymer bitumen sheets are installed with heat, cold, or self-adhesives. They offer durability and increased weather resistance. 
• Green Roofing: Also known as vegetated roofs, they are made up of waterproofing layers, drainage layers, a growing medium, and topped with vegetation. They work wonders for insulation and stormwater management, and are energy and environmentally-friendly.
• Roof Coatings: For roofs that are not in major disrepair or in need of replacement, roof coatings can be applied to extend the lifespan of the roof. The coatings (most commonly elastomeric or reflective) are applied to existing roofs to improve UV resistance, durability, and energy efficiency.
