We provide commercial roof repair services in Richmond for membrane seams, metal fasteners, traced leaks, and plant roofs with heavy equipment.
Our commercial roof repair services in Richmond cover four kinds of work. Each card pairs what owners notice with the repair that fixes it.
You See
We DoTPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs where water gets in at laps, blisters, boots, or a ponding corner.
Repair Includes
You SeeSteel R-panel and standing seam roofs that drip along screw rows, at end laps, under ridge caps, or from rusted eaves.
Repair Includes
You SeeCeiling stains and drips whose source is unclear, including leaks that returned after earlier patches or appear only in wind.
Repair Includes
You SeePlant and warehouse roofs with grease or process residue, long expansion joints, big unit curbs, and heavy service traffic.
Repair Includes
A few isolated failures call for repair. A worn surface over dry board can be restored, and widespread wet insulation or rust-through points to replacement.
A temporary repair keeps water out of the building now. The permanent repair follows once the roof is dry and warm enough for the materials.
Every service starts the same way, then branches into the repair the roof needs, whether that is a seam, a screw row, or a drain.
A walk of the perimeter, curbs, drains, and penetrations comes first, along with a look at stains inside. Moisture readings show where the board is wet.
Core cuts confirm the meter readings. Isolated failures over dry board go to repair, and wide wet areas are noted for a restore or replace decision.
Patches use the roof's own system: welded TPO, taped EPDM, cap sheet on mod bit, or new screws and butyl on metal laps.
Before and after photos, a marked roof plan, and notes on spots close to failing go to you for planning and tax records.
Repairs are matched to the roof that is already there. These are the systems on most commercial buildings in the area.
Heat-welded single-ply sheets, usually white or gray. Repairs are hot-air welds or welded cover strips over a cleaned, de-oxidized surface, and PVC also holds up near kitchen grease.
Black rubber sheet with taped or glued seams. Talc and dirt are scrubbed off with primer before tape or a cured strip goes on, and shrinkage at walls gets new flashing.
Asphalt cap sheets that are torched or adhered. Laps are dried and loose granules removed before a patch is fused on, with a hot work permit wherever a plant requires one.
Layers of felt and asphalt under gravel. Gravel is cleared, the area dried, and failed plies are cut out and rebuilt, and cracked blisters are opened and patched flat.
Exposed-fastener steel panels on shops and warehouses. Most leaks come from screws, washers, and end laps that open as the panels move each day, plus rust along the eave.
Concealed-clip steel roofs with raised seams. Seam ends, ridge closures, curbs, and trim screws are where water usually finds a way in, so the walk checks each of them.
Answers on which repair fits, timing, and cost.
Isolated failures get repaired: patch, reweld, or reseal the bad spots. An aging surface over mostly dry insulation and a solid deck can be restored with repairs and then a coating. Large wet areas, a failed deck, or rust-through on many panels mean tear-off or recover. Moisture readings and core cuts decide which path fits.
A temporary patch goes on during or right after rain, using roof cement, tape, or wet-surface sealant, and only holds until the real fix. A permanent repair waits for a dry roof and uses matching membrane, welded or primed patches, new flashing, or new fasteners. Old cement is cut out first, since it blocks welds and tape.
When the roof surface is wet or frosty, or below the temperature limits printed on the primers, adhesives, and sealants. Primer and seam tape will not bond to wet sheet, and cold slows adhesive cure. TPO welding and torch work handle cool days better, but every repair needs a dry lap, and dew on metal delays morning starts.
The size of the damaged area, the roof system, access, and wet insulation matter most. Weathered TPO or brittle EPDM takes more prep, each leak point needs its own tracing, every screw replaced on metal adds labor, and older systems need special parts. One failed curb on a dry roof costs far less than leaks across several bays.
Send the address and a short note on the roof and the leak, and we will set up the first roof walk.
Leave a name and number and a roofer will call you back about the leak or damage.
