Roofing Built for Business Properties

Commercial roof installation designed for offices, retail buildings, and multi-family properties in Merritt Island, Florida.

Your commercial building in Merritt Island depends on a roof that manages drainage during heavy rain, resists heat buildup in summer, and holds up under wind loads without disrupting operations. Flat and low-slope roofs common to retail centers and office buildings require different materials and installation techniques than residential structures, and poor installation leads to ponding water, membrane failure, and interior damage.

Patriot Roofing and Construction LLC installs roofing systems for commercial properties throughout Merritt Island, including buildings along major corridors and business districts. The work includes preparing the substrate, installing insulation and drainage layers, applying membrane or coating systems designed for flat roofs, and ensuring all penetrations and edges are sealed to prevent water intrusion. Each project is coordinated to minimize disruption to tenants and daily operations.

What goes into a commercial roofing project

When you schedule a commercial installation in Merritt Island, the crew inspects the existing roof deck, checks for areas where water has pooled or leaked, and removes damaged sections before laying down new insulation boards and cover boards. Roofing membranes are rolled out and fastened or adhered according to the system specifications, with seams heat-welded or chemically bonded to create a continuous barrier.

After the installation is complete, your building will have better drainage, reduced interior temperature fluctuations, and fewer service calls related to leaks around HVAC units or roof drains. You will see water flow off the roof more quickly during storms and no staining on interior ceilings near the roofline.

The installation timeline depends on building size, access limitations, and weather conditions. Work is scheduled to avoid peak business hours when possible, though some noise and restricted access to certain areas of the building are unavoidable. The service does not include tenant improvements or interior repairs resulting from prior leaks, though those issues are documented during the initial assessment.

Common concerns property managers bring up

Property managers and business owners often ask how long the building will be affected, what warranties apply, and how installation is managed around occupied spaces.

What roofing systems are used on commercial buildings in Merritt Island?
TPO and modified bitumen membranes are common for flat and low-slope roofs in this area. TPO reflects heat well and performs in high UV environments, while modified bitumen offers flexibility and puncture resistance for roofs with frequent foot traffic.
How long does a commercial roof installation take?
Small retail buildings may take one to two weeks, while larger multi-tenant properties can take a month or more depending on roof area, complexity, and weather. The project is phased to keep sections of the building operational throughout the process.
What happens to tenants during the installation?
Tenants will hear noise during tear-off and fastening, and access to certain roof areas like HVAC units may be restricted for safety. Advance notice is provided before work begins in each section, and crews avoid blocking entries or loading zones whenever possible.
Why do flat roofs require different materials than sloped roofs?
Flat roofs drain more slowly and hold water longer after storms, so membranes need to be fully sealed rather than relying on overlapping layers like shingles. Materials are also chosen for their ability to expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or separating at seams.
When should I replace a commercial roof?
You should consider replacement when you see widespread membrane cracking, multiple areas of ponding water that do not drain within 48 hours, or recurring leaks that return after repairs. Waiting increases the risk of structural damage and mold growth inside the building.
