The Complete Guide to Commercial Roofing

Commercial roofing typically covers flat or low-slope surfaces over large buildings. These roofs need membranes engineered for water pooling, thermal movement, and foot traffic from HVAC service — all while protecting the operations underneath.

BST Contracting installs systems designed for long-term protection of warehouses, offices, retail centers, and industrial facilities, with minimal disturbance to ongoing business operations.

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a durable, energy-efficient single-ply membrane ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. Its reflective white surface helps reduce heat buildup, which can lower energy costs for the building below.

Key benefits of TPO include:

• Ideal for flat commercial roofs
• Energy-efficient reflective surface
• Excellent weather and leak resistance
• Suitable for warehouses, offices, and retail facilities

For sloped commercial roofs — small offices, rental properties, and outbuildings — asphalt shingles offer a reliable, cost-effective option with proven performance and multiple architectural styles.

Asphalt shingles are a good fit when you need:

• An affordable, proven roofing system
• Easy repair and replacement options
• A solution for small commercial properties

Routine maintenance and structural inspections extend the life of a commercial roof. BST provides energy-reflective white membrane coatings and ongoing evaluations to help protect your investment over time.
