Commercial Roofing in Lawndale, CA

We handle three main kinds of commercial roofing work. Repairs fix a defined problem, such as a leak at one seam or around a roof opening. Replacement renews the roof on an existing building, and installation adds a roof to a new building.

Commercial roof repair targets the part that is failing. The work can close a split seam, replace loose flashing or reseal the edge around a vent or drain. Flashing is the material that seals the joint where a roof meets a wall or a pipe.

Commercial roof replacement makes sense when problems spread across the roof. When the old roofing has to come off, we strip it to the deck, the solid base below. A full replacement carries our 10-year workmanship warranty under its written terms.

If your building has sloped sections, we also repair and replace shingle, tile and metal roofs.

Before your estimate, pull together what you know about the roof. That means past invoices or reports, the problem you see today and your reason for wanting work. We treat these details as clues, because roof age alone cannot tell us whether a repair or replacement fits.

Note what you see from inside the building. Write down where water appears, when it shows up and whether it follows rain. This sample roof condition form lists other useful fields: building details, prior work, leak conditions and a photo history.

Tell us what prompted the project, such as a new leak, a pending sale or a planned replacement. Each one points to a different kind of estimate or report.

Past repair notes, drawings and reports show where the roof failed before and what work followed. A single problem area with sound roofing around it may suit a targeted repair. Trouble in many places across the roof often moves the estimate toward replacement planning.

Ask your property manager or the previous owner for these papers if you do not have them. Drawings can show the roof layout and where the drains sit. Also flag any spot that leaked again after an earlier repair.

The City of Lawndale's Building and Safety page links to an online archive for searching property permit records. A record can show past permitted work, not the roof's condition today or whether an old warranty still applies. Before a replacement or new roof, also ask the city whether its commercial standards apply to your property.

The city's Commercial Standards page gathers links to those standards and names the Hawthorne Boulevard Specific Plan. A specific plan is a city planning document for one defined area. Ask the city whether that plan applies to your property, too.

If your roof work needs a permit, we help you pull it.

The right roof covering depends on what the building has now and the work you plan. We base a recommendation on the existing layers, the deck underneath and details such as drains and flashing. New construction starts from the project plans instead.

For flat and low-slope roofing, we install torch-down modified bitumen and TPO. Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based roofing sheet, and torch-down means we use heat to bond the sheets. TPO is a single-ply membrane, meaning one membrane layer forms the waterproof top of the roof.

Our usual flat-roof choice is a torch-down system with a reflective white top layer. TPO remains an option when you prefer it. For a new building, send the plans so we can price commercial roof installation from them.

A free estimate prices the repair, replacement or new roof installation you have in mind. A detailed written roof report is a separate service, and it is not free. Its fee depends on the size of the roof and how many stories the building has.

Order a report for a property in escrow or when an insurer requires a roof inspection. See how our commercial roof inspection reports work, and ask us for the current fee and contents.

Before any work starts, get the full scope in writing. The Contractors State License Board's roofing guide helps you check what a written scope includes, leaves out and promises.
