How do I know if my commercial roof needs repairs or a full replacement?
The answer depends on the age, condition, and history of your roof. Minor issues like isolated leaks, punctures, or damaged flashing can often be resolved with targeted roof repairs. However, if your system is nearing the end of its expected lifespan, has widespread damage, or is experiencing recurring problems, a full roof replacement may be the more cost-effective long-term solution. Our team will help you understand your options after a thorough inspection.
How long does a commercial roof replacement take?
The timeline for a roof replacement varies based on the size of your building, the roofing system being installed, and weather conditions. Smaller projects may be completed in a few days, while larger or more complex installations can take a couple of weeks. We provide a clear project timeline before work begins so you know what to expect.
Will roof repairs or replacement disrupt my business operations?
Minimizing disruption is a top priority for our team. We plan around your schedule, coordinate closely with property managers and on-site staff, and communicate clearly throughout the project. Our goal is to keep your building operational and your tenants comfortable while we get the job done right.
How much does a commercial roof replacement cost?
The cost of a commercial roof replacement depends on factors like roof size, the system type you choose, material specifications, and the condition of the existing structure. Apex provides detailed, transparent estimates with no hidden fees. Contact us for a free assessment and we’ll walk you through the pricing for your specific project.
What types of commercial roofing systems does Apex install?
We install and maintain a full range of commercial roofing systems, including TPO, EPDM, PVC, asphalt, metal, and silicone coatings. Each system has unique advantages depending on your building type, budget, and performance requirements. Our team will help you choose the right solution based on your specific needs.
What is TPO roofing and why is it popular for commercial buildings?
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane that is lightweight, energy-efficient, and highly resistant to UV exposure and chemical damage. It’s one of the most popular choices for flat and low-slope commercial roofs because of its durability and cost-effectiveness. Apex is certified to install TPO systems from leading manufacturers.
Can Apex apply a roof coating instead of doing a full replacement?
In many cases, yes. If your existing roof is structurally sound but showing signs of wear, a silicone or protective coating can extend its lifespan by years at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. Coatings provide a seamless, waterproof barrier and can also improve energy efficiency. Our team will let you know if your roof is a good candidate during your inspection.
Does Apex provide warranties on roofing installations?
Yes. All of our installations are backed by manufacturer warranties, and every project is completed to the standards required for full warranty protection. We also stand behind our own workmanship and are committed to making sure you’re satisfied with the results.
Does Apex offer 24/7 emergency roofing services?
Yes. Roofing emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Apex provides 24/7 emergency response for commercial properties across our service areas. When you call, our team moves quickly to assess the damage, create a plan, and limit further harm to your building so you can return to normal operations as soon as possible.
Does Apex provide commercial snow removal services?
Yes. Heavy snow buildup on flat and low-slope commercial roofs can lead to sagging, leaks, or even structural collapse. Apex provides same-day snow removal to reduce the load on your roof, prevent damage, and keep your building safe throughout the winter months.
What should I do if my commercial roof is leaking right now?
If you’re dealing with an active leak, call Apex immediately at 856.203.6108. While you wait, try to contain the water with buckets or tarps, move any equipment or inventory away from the affected area, and document the damage with photos if possible. Our emergency team will respond quickly to stop the leak and protect your property.
