At General Morales Team Inc, we bring over 20 years of experience in the roofing industry to every commercial project we undertake. Our expertise spans across office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, industrial facilities, and multi-unit residential complexes throughout MetroWest Massachusetts & Rhode Island. We understand that your roof is more than just a covering—it’s a critical component protecting your investment, inventory, equipment, and people.
Commercial roofing requires specialized knowledge that goes beyond residential applications. The scale, materials, and building codes involved demand a level of expertise that comes only through years of dedicated practice. Our team’s attention to detail ensures that every aspect of your roofing project meets or exceeds industry standards. Whether you’re dealing with a flat roof system, metal roofing, or modified bitumen, we have the technical knowledge and practical experience to deliver results that last.
Understanding Commercial Roofing Systems
Commercial buildings typically feature low-slope or flat roof designs that require different approaches than steep-slope residential roofs. These systems must handle water drainage differently, withstand foot traffic from HVAC maintenance, and support heavy equipment loads. The most common commercial roofing systems include TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), and built-up roofing (BUR). Each material offers distinct advantages depending on your building’s specific needs, climate considerations, and budget requirements.
TPO roofing has gained significant market share in recent years, accounting for approximately 40% of the commercial roofing market. This single-membrane system offers excellent energy efficiency through its reflective white surface, which can reduce cooling costs by up to 30% in warm climates. EPDM, often called rubber roofing, provides exceptional durability with a typical lifespan of 20-30 years when properly maintained. Our English and Spanish speaking crews can explain these options in detail, ensuring you make an informed decision that aligns with your business goals.
The Commercial Roofing Process
Every commercial roofing project begins with a comprehensive inspection and assessment. We examine the existing roof structure, identify any underlying issues, and evaluate the building’s specific requirements. This thorough approach allows us to provide free estimates with no conditions, giving you a clear understanding of the scope and cost before any work begins. Our assessment includes:
- Structural integrity evaluation – checking decking, supports, and load-bearing capacity
- Drainage system analysis – ensuring proper water flow and preventing ponding
- Energy efficiency assessment – identifying opportunities for improved insulation and reflectivity
- Code compliance review – verifying all work will meet local building requirements
Following the assessment, we develop a detailed project plan that minimizes disruption to your business operations. We understand that downtime costs money, so we coordinate our work schedule around your business hours whenever possible. Our crews work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards, ensuring your project stays on schedule and within budget.
Maintenance and Long-Term Performance
Commercial roofs face constant exposure to UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and weather extremes. Regular maintenance extends roof life significantly—studies show that properly maintained commercial roofs last 50% longer than neglected ones. We recommend bi-annual inspections to identify minor issues before they become major problems. These inspections typically focus on seams, flashings, drainage systems, and penetration points where HVAC units or vents connect to the roof.
Our amazing customer service extends beyond installation to ongoing support. We maintain detailed records of your roof’s condition, warranty information, and maintenance history. This documentation proves invaluable for insurance claims, property sales, or planning future capital improvements. By partnering with General Morales Team Inc, you gain a long-term ally in protecting your commercial property investment.
Making the Right Investment
Commercial roofing represents a significant capital expenditure, but viewing it as an investment rather than an expense changes the perspective. A quality commercial roof system can deliver returns through energy savings, reduced maintenance costs, and extended building life. Modern cool roofing technologies can qualify for utility rebates and tax incentives, further improving your return on investment.
The commercial roofing industry continues evolving with new materials and installation techniques. Solar-ready roofing systems, green roof applications, and advanced coating technologies offer opportunities to enhance your building’s performance while meeting sustainability goals. We stay current with these developments, ensuring our clients benefit from the latest innovations in commercial roofing technology.
