Commercial Roof Repair

Stop the Leak. Fix the Cause.

Most commercial roof problems start small — a backed-out fastener, an open seam, a flashing pulled away from a curb. Left alone, they let water into the assembly and the building. We find the actual source and repair it correctly.

  • Leak detection & investigation
  • Membrane damage & punctures
  • Flashing & curb problems
  • Open seams & seam failures
  • Roof penetrations & boot seals
  • Drainage & ponding water
  • Storm & wind damage
  • Emergency problem-area repairs

Rubber & Flat Roofing Systems

EPDM Rubber Roofing, Done Right

EPDM is one of the most common low-slope membranes on commercial buildings in Central New York — durable, flexible, and well suited to our temperature swings. We install, replace, and repair EPDM, and we also work with TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing.

Not every flat roof is the same. The right system depends on the building's use, traffic, drainage, insulation, and budget. We explain the trade-offs honestly so you can choose with confidence.

Commercial Metal Roofing

Metal Roofs for Commercial & Industrial Buildings

Standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs are common on warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and industrial buildings. They're durable — but they have their own failure points: backed-out fasteners, seam movement, flashing, and corrosion.

We install, replace, repair, and restore commercial metal roofs, and we coat existing metal roofs to extend service life and slow corrosion.

Commercial Roof Replacement & Reroofing

When Repair Isn't Enough

Not every roof can be patched back to health. When the membrane is at the end of its service life, insulation is saturated, or the deck is compromised, replacement is the responsible call. We help you understand when that point has arrived — and plan the project to keep your building running.

Tear-offs & recover systems

Full tear-off down to the deck, or a recover over a sound existing roof where conditions and code allow — we evaluate which is appropriate.

Insulation & deck condition

We assess insulation for moisture and the deck for soundness before specifying the new system and assembly.

Drainage & slope

Replacement is the right time to fix ponding, improve slope, and upgrade drains and scuppers so water moves off the roof.

System selection

EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, or metal — matched to the building's use, traffic, and budget.

Minimizing disruption

Phased work, scheduling around operations, and clear communication so tenants and production keep running.

Long-term planning

A new roof is a capital investment. We document the system and give you a maintenance plan to protect it.

Commercial Roof Maintenance

Prevent Problems Before They're Leaks

A scheduled maintenance program catches small issues before they become interior damage and emergency repairs. Spring and fall inspections, post-storm checks, drain cleaning, and documented condition tracking extend roof life and make capital planning predictable.

For property and facility managers with multiple buildings, a consistent maintenance program turns roofing from a series of surprises into a managed asset.

Roof Coatings & Restoration

Restore Instead of Replace — When It Makes Sense

A silicone, acrylic, or elastomeric coating system can extend the life of a sound, dry roof by adding waterproofing, reflectivity, and UV protection — without a full tear-off. It's not right for every roof, but when the membrane still has integrity, it can be a cost-effective alternative to replacement.

We inspect first and tell you honestly whether your roof is a coating candidate or whether repair or replacement is the better path.

Commercial Buildings We Serve

Roofing for Every Type of Commercial Building

Different buildings put different demands on a roof. A restaurant has grease-laden exhaust penetrations; a warehouse has large uninterrupted roof expanses; a medical facility can't tolerate downtime. We tailor the approach to the building.

Roofing That Takes Syracuse Weather Seriously

Syracuse and Central New York put commercial roofs through a lot. Understanding how that weather affects each roof system is part of specifying, repairing, and maintaining it correctly.

Heavy & lake-effect snow

Syracuse sits in one of the snowiest regions in the country. Snow load, drifting, and the sheer weight of lake-effect accumulation stress commercial roof decks, drains, and structural connections.

Ice & freeze/thaw cycles

Water that enters a seam or flashing during the day refreezes overnight, prying membranes apart and widening gaps with every cycle.

Ponding water

Flat roofs with inadequate slope or clogged drains hold standing water that degrades membranes, accelerates aging, and invites vegetation.

Temperature swings

Seasonal swings from sub-zero to summer heat drive repeated expansion and contraction across membranes, metal panels, and flashings.

Wind, rain & drainage

Nor'easters and summer downpours test flashing, edge details, and drainage paths that have to move large volumes of water off the roof fast.

Repair vs. Restore vs. Replace

The Right Answer Depends on the Roof

We don't walk onto a roof with a predetermined answer. The right solution depends on a set of conditions we evaluate on every assessment.

Repair

When the roof still has service life and the problem is localized — a leak, an open seam, a failed flashing — a targeted repair restores performance at a fraction of replacement cost.

Restore

When the membrane is sound and dry but aging, a coating system can add waterproofing and reflectivity and extend service life without a tear-off.

Replace

When the membrane is at end of life, insulation is saturated, or the deck is compromised, replacement protects the building and its contents for the long term.

We weigh the roof's age, system, moisture intrusion, insulation condition, membrane condition, drainage, structural and deck condition, and your long-term plans for the building before we recommend a direction.

Commercial Roofing FAQ

Questions Building Owners Ask

What types of commercial roofs do you work on?
We work on the low-slope and flat roof systems common to commercial and industrial buildings — EPDM rubber, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing — as well as commercial and industrial metal roofs. We handle repairs, replacement, restoration, coatings, and maintenance across these systems.
Do you only do commercial roofing?
Yes. Syracuse Commercial Roofing is a commercial roofing contractor. Our work focuses on commercial, industrial, institutional, and multifamily buildings rather than residential homes.
How quickly can you respond to an active commercial roof leak?
Active leaks get priority. We aim to inspect and, where possible, stabilize an active leak quickly to limit interior damage. Call us directly and describe the situation so we can prioritize accordingly.
Should I repair, restore, or replace my commercial roof?
It depends on the roof's age, system, how much moisture has entered the assembly, insulation condition, membrane condition, drainage, and the deck — plus your long-term plans for the building. We assess all of that and give you a practical recommendation rather than defaulting to replacement.
Can a roof coating restore my roof instead of replacing it?
Sometimes. A coating system can extend the life of a sound, dry roof with a membrane that still has integrity. But coatings are not appropriate for every roof — saturated insulation, widespread membrane failure, or structural issues usually point toward repair or replacement. We inspect first and tell you honestly whether coating is a candidate.
What areas do you serve?
Syracuse and the greater Central New York region, including East Syracuse, Liverpool, DeWitt, Fayetteville, Manlius, Cicero, Clay, Baldwinsville, Camillus, and Onondaga County.
Do you work with property and facility managers on multiple buildings?
Yes. We work with property managers, facility managers, and organizations responsible for multiple buildings. Scheduled inspections, documentation, and maintenance planning help these clients budget and reduce surprise emergency repairs.
How do you minimize disruption to building operations?
We coordinate scheduling around your tenants, production schedules, and occupancy, stage materials and equipment to keep paths clear, and communicate throughout the project so you and your occupants know what to expect.
