    Who Roof Replacement Suits

    Roof replacement is the right fit for residential homeowners with sloped roofs showing age, leaks, or shingle damage. BST installs a complete system — tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, drip edge, ridge vent, and architectural high-wind shingles — built for protection, efficiency, and curb appeal.

    Who Commercial Roofing Suits

    Commercial roofing suits business owners with warehouses, offices, retail centers, industrial facilities, and small commercial buildings. For flat and low-slope roofs, TPO membranes offer an energy-efficient reflective surface; for sloped commercial roofs, asphalt shingles provide a reliable option. BST plans installations to minimize disruption to operations.
