What Commercial Roofing Issues Do We Fix?

Ponding Water

Ponding water occurs when insufficient drainage or uneven insulation causes water to accumulate on flat or low-slope roofs, which accelerates membrane deterioration and can lead to leaks. We tackle this problem by regrading the surface with tapered insulation, clearing obstructions from drains, and applying waterproof coatings to ensure adequate runoff and prevent future ponding.

Flashing Failure

Improperly installed flashing around vents, HVAC units, or roof edges can result in substantial water intrusion and leaks, threatening structural integrity and potentially leading to costly repairs. Our method includes meticulously removing the damaged flashing, thoroughly cleaning the affected areas, and either resealing or replacing it with durable materials such as high-quality metal or TPO-compatible alternatives. Furthermore, we strengthen seams to ensure long-lasting waterproof protection, providing you with peace of mind against potential future leaks.

Damaged Roofing Membrane

As time goes by, roof membranes can develop issues like cracking, blistering, or punctures resulting from factors such as UV exposure, foot traffic, and variations in temperature. Our skilled team utilizes meticulous patching, seam resealing, and infrared moisture scanning to detect weaknesses and bolster the watertight barrier, all without the need for a complete replacement.

Storm or Tree Impact Damage

Severe winds and storm aftermath can lead to punctures and considerable damage to your roof. Our experienced specialists conduct swift assessments to identify any indications of wear or damage. They remove debris and reinforce vulnerable areas to prevent further deterioration. Additionally, we provide membrane restoration or panel replacement services to ensure your roof is restored to its original condition, giving you peace of mind and protection against the elements.

How Long Does a Commercial Roof Replacement Take?

A standard roof replacement project generally takes between five days and four weeks to complete, depending on several factors such as the size of the roof, the materials chosen, and the overall complexity of the project. Single-ply membranes, including TPO, PVC, and EPDM, typically facilitate faster installations, often wrapping up within one to two weeks. On the other hand, multi-layer systems like built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, or metal roofing usually require more time for installation due to their intrinsic complexities.

Cost Breakdown:

Project Phase Timeline Scope of Work
Roof Inspection & Assessment 1-3 days Our team inspects the existing roof, identifies damage, and evaluates substrate and drainage conditions.
Final Quotation & Project Planning 2-5 days We provide a detailed estimate and help you choose the best system—TPO, PVC, EPDM, BUR, or metal—based on performance and budget.
Pre-Work & Project Scheduling 3 to 7 days We handle local permits, compliance checks, and coordinate logistics to minimize disruption to your operations.
Roof Tear-Off & Surface Preparation 2 to 7 days Old roofing materials are safely removed, and the substrate is repaired or reinforced for new installation.
Roof Installation & Seaming 5 to 14 days Depending on the roof type and size (e.g., TPO and EPDM install faster than BUR or metal), our crew installs the new system with precision sealing and insulation.
Final Inspection & Site Cleanup 1 to 2 days We'll do a quality check, water-test the roof, and leave your property clean and business-ready.

Roof Installation & Repair FAQs

  • What is the 25% rule in roofing in California?

    In California, if more than 25% of your roof area is repaired or replaced within a 12-month period, the roofing system may need to be upgraded to meet current building codes. Lakewood roofing contractors ensure all work complies with state and local regulations.

  • How much should a new roof cost in Lakewood, California?

    A new roof in Lakewood typically ranges from $9,000 to $22,000+, depending on size, material, and complexity. Tile and metal roofs cost more than asphalt shingles. A professional Lakewood roofing estimate provides exact pricing.

  • Do I need a permit to reroof my house in Lakewood, CA?

    Yes. Most reroofing projects in Lakewood require a building permit to meet California building codes. Licensed Lakewood roofing companies handle the permit process and inspections for homeowners.

  • Will insurance cover a 20-year-old roof in California?

    Insurance may cover sudden damage from storms, wind, or fire, even if the roof is 20 years old. However, normal wear and tear is typically not covered. A Lakewood roofing inspection helps document valid claims.

  • Can a homeowner replace their own roof in California?

    Homeowners can legally work on their own property, but permits, inspections, and strict code compliance are required. Roofing is dangerous and technical, so most Lakewood homeowners hire licensed roofing professionals.

  • What is the 3-2-10 rule for roofing?

    The 3-2-10 rule refers to attic ventilation guidelines: for every 300 square feet of attic space, there should be 1 square foot of ventilation, with intake and exhaust balanced (often split 50/50). Proper ventilation is essential in Southern California’s warm climate.

  • What is the best time of year to replace a roof in Lakewood or Southern California?

    Thanks to mild weather, roof replacement can be done year-round in Lakewood. Fall and spring are especially popular due to stable temperatures and lower rain risk.

  • How much does it cost to replace a roof on a 2,000 sq ft house in Lakewood?

    For a 2,000 sq ft home, roof replacement in Lakewood typically ranges from $10,000 to $20,000, depending on material and roof design. Two-story homes or tile systems may increase costs.

  • Is it okay to install new shingles over existing shingles in California?

    In some cases, a second layer is allowed, but a full tear-off is often recommended to inspect decking and ensure long-term durability. Lakewood roofing professionals evaluate whether overlay installation meets code and structural standards.

  • How old should a roof be before replacing it in Southern California?

    Most asphalt shingle roofs last 20–30 years, while tile and metal roofs last much longer. If your Lakewood roof is nearing 20–25 years and showing signs of wear, a professional inspection can determine whether replacement is needed.
