Real Work, Real Results
A 2019 Commercial Flat Roof That Outlasted Three Nor'easters
We don't talk about what we can do — we show you a job we finished and the storm that tried to take it down.
In fall 2019, we got a call from a property manager on Green Pond Road in Rockaway. Their 12,000-square-foot commercial building had a modified bitumen roof that was blistering and ponding water after every rain. They needed a full tear-off and replacement before winter.
We spec'd a 2-ply SBS-modified bitumen system from Malarkey — their Legacy series — with a 50-year transferable warranty. The old roof came off in two days. We installed new cover board, a base ply torched down, and a cap sheet with a granular surface for UV protection. The crew sealed every penetration with Malarkey's flashing cement and added a 4-inch cant strip at all parapet walls.
Then came the nor'easters. Three of them in December 2019 and January 2020. Winds hit 60 mph. Snow piled 18 inches deep. The building next door had a leak on day one. Our roof? Bone dry. The property manager called us after the third storm and said, 'I haven't seen a drop inside. You guys built it right.'
That roof is still under warranty, and we've inspected it every year since. Zero callbacks. Zero code violations. That's the difference between a crew that nails down felt and a crew that builds a roof that fights back.
Quick Answers
Common Questions About Commercial Roofing in Rockaway
We've been fixing commercial roofs since 2011. Here's what business owners ask us most before we start work.
Every flat or low-slope roof is different. We give a free, written estimate after measuring your exact roof and checking the deck. No two quotes are the same because we factor in your building's age, current membrane, and access points. Call (973) 636-4945 and we'll walk you through typical numbers for your street.
Yes. We handle strip malls on Route 46, office buildings on Green Pond Road, and warehouses near the Rockaway Townsquare. We're licensed (NJ HIC #13VH08923400) and insured with $2 million liability. We've done tear-offs and re-roofs on multi-tenant properties since 2011.
We install TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and EPDM. We're factory-certified for GAF and CertainTeed commercial systems. For a warehouse on Route 10 we used a 60-mil TPO membrane with a 20-year warranty. We'll match the material to your building's slope and traffic.
A typical 5,000-square-foot flat roof takes 3 to 5 days, weather permitting. We work around your business hours and keep debris off your lot. Last year we replaced a 10,000-square-foot roof on a Main Street retail building in four days with no downtime for the tenants.
Yes. We provide manufacturer warranties up to 20 years on TPO and PVC systems, plus our own workmanship warranty. All contracts are hand-written and clear — no fine print. We back every commercial job the same way we back residential ones: with a 15-year track record and zero code violations.
If your building has active water damage, call (973) 636-4945 for same-day help. We carry emergency patch materials for TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen. We'll stop the leak, then discuss a permanent fix. We've done emergency repairs on Route 46 during nor'easters.
We do. We'll inspect the damage, document it with photos, and provide a detailed estimate your adjuster can use. We've worked with Liberty Mutual and State Farm on storm-damaged commercial roofs in Rockaway. We don't push unnecessary work — we tell you what's covered and what's not.
