Commercial Roofing Types - Types of New Commercial Roofing

Commercial Roof Types for Every Shape, Size, and Function

Commercial roofing projects come in all shapes and sizes, so you need to find a roofing contractor who is well-equipped to service every roof type, from mansard roofs to gable or hipped commercial roof systems. Low slope and flat roofs come with their own set of challenges to overcome—drainage, puncture resistance, and UV resistance. The structure of your facility will affect which materials or roofing techniques will—or won’t.

The biggest challenge, of course, is finding a roofing contractor who is able to deliver quality solutions to every commercial roofing project, regardless of the size, shape or other special considerations of a facility’s roof.

Here are some of the roof types your commercial roofing contractor should be able to complete:

Low slope and flat roof systems are perhaps the most prevalent commercial roofing type, as they allow for the most usable space within a facility. Commercial low slope and flat roofing systems also come with their own set of challenge, as flat surfaces are not naturally conducive to water drainage. An experienced roofing contractor will be able to install any kind of roofing membrane—whether it’s a PVC, TPO, or EPDM membrane—to provide for water drainage and puncture resistance.To learn more about the value of a quality low slope or flat roofing system installation, click here.

Commercial metal roofing systems draw on the natural strength and pliability of metals such as tin or steel, adding reflective roofing coatings for insulation and corrosion control. Metal roofing a great choice for commercial facilities, especially when sustainability, durability, and cost-effectiveness are key concerns.  To learn more about how a qualified roofing contractor can maximize the value of your commercial metal roofing system, click here.

Both standard 3 tab shingles provide durable protection from the elements at an affordable price. Asphalt shingles are cheaper than architectural shingles, but architectural shingles provide slightly better protection and a longer service life. Plus, architectural shingles can be manufactured to imitate more expensive roofing types, such as shakes, tile and even slate.A roofing contractor will work with you to choose which shingle type works best with your commercial facility’s protection and design needs.To learn more about architecture and asphalt shingles for commercial applications, click here.

Cedar shakes—commonly hand-split or tapersawn from red cedar—are often incorporated in the design of commercial buildings for cedar’s inherent insulating and waterproofing qualities, as well as its natural, rustic appearance.  Cedar shakes, when properly installed by an experienced commercial roofing contractor, can protect your building while also contributing toward energy certifications.To learn how a licensed roofing contractor can help promote the fire safety, sustainability and effectiveness of your commercial shake roofing system, click here.

While tile is one of the most expensive commercial roofing materials, it is also one of the longest lasting. If aptly installed by an experienced roofing contractor, quality tile will last 100 years or more. Your roofing contractor will add value by guiding you toward tile that meets international benchmarks, laying your tile diligently with the right underlayment and providing you with a preventative maintenance plan.  To learn more about the value a commercial roofing contractor can add to your facility’s tile roofing system, click here.

Slate is more than just beautiful—it’s also one of the most durable materials available for commercial roofing applications. With careful installation, slate roofing systems can keep your facility dry for centuries to come. One of commercial slate’s most notable qualities is that, when properly installed, it is inherently watertight without the use of underlayment. Correct installation, however, is paramount to the longevity of your commercial slate roofing system.To learn more about how a knowledgeable roofing contractor can maximize the service life of commercial slate roofing system, click here.

What Our Customers Say

Excellent service from the entire Wildwood team. I live out of state and they took care of my property through the entire roofing & siding process. Highly recommend.

Jennie Barker

Wildwood was recommended to me by a neighbor. They were very responsive to my request for an evaluation of storm damage. When the insurance company declined to replace my roof, Wildwood worked with me to repair the damage in a timely and affordable way.

Vickie Cochran

Luke did a fantastic job from start to finish. Easy to work with and did what they said. Also helped when additional damage was found. He did an A+ job as far as I am concerned

Gary Potter

After the hail storm back in April of 2023, we needed to hire a roofing company. Immediately following the storm, there were lots of people knocking daily on our door from various roofing companies I never heard of. I went with my instinct and called a reputable company that I heard of and was referred to, which was Wildwood Roofing & Construction. Doug Lake from their company showed up as promised, assessed everything and prepared a proposal that included the repairs needed and suggestions. He then went over it with me and my wife, was very honest about what he would do and helped us choose the best look, quality and durability. We are SO GLAD we hired them. The roof was installed and the installers took extra precautions to protect our windows, deck and driveway. They also cleaned everything up that day and came back the next to check it again and do a follow up call. Doug also sealed up a light for me that had nothing to do with the roof, but it was concerning me, so he fixed that too. Doug handled everything with the insurance company and kept me informed of the process. Great company, very professional and caring about the customers property. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM to anyone needing their roof replaced.

Robert Barger

Professional and up front about costs and scope of repair. Had a couple of companies provide estimates, and Wildwood Roofing and Michael Burnett was the only service that did not try to sell additional products or try to get me to replace my entire roof.

Jeremy Scott

Wildwood Roofing came through on a VERY tight schedule whileworking around some STL winter temperature swings. Employees were great to work with. Met all my expectations.
