Commercial Gable Roof Repair and Installation

Commercial Gable Roof Construction and Replacement

When you are developing a new roof for your business, installing a gable roof is a safe bet for both utility and style.

Commercial gable roof framing isn’t a common roof shape for large buildings, as the slope would force the ridge to be too high off the base of the building. This would leave it susceptible to damage from high winds and other nature-esque surprises.

However, it is a popular roof type for smaller commercial buildings for its simple design and utility.

In their simplest form, commercial gable roof designs are characterized by two roofing planes meeting at a ridge atop the facility. There are also commercial cross-gable roofs, which is where two commercial gable roof constructions meet to form a right angle.

A front gable features a wide front of the Dutch gable roof, which can make your building seem more robust. A side gable, on the other hand, fits great for thinner buildings and serves up great style points.

A gabled roof is similar to hip roofs and gambrel roofs because of its steep slope. However, a gable roof involves roof sections meeting together to form a triangular shape while a hip roof is a pyramid, drawing from four different steep slopes.

This roof style is great for allowing precipitation to run off the roof, protecting your facility from leaks and water damage while also providing additional attic space for storage or living space.

And, while commercial gable roof constructions don’t carry the same problems as flat roofs—such as ponding, and increased UV exposure—they come with a whole host of other problems. A licensed contractor will be able to properly frame, install, and maintain your commercial gable roof to mitigate potential problems through proper flashing, valley, and ridge installation.

Here are several things to consider during a commercial gable roof construction, replacement, or repair:

Proper Gable Roof Installation Techniques

Choosing the Right Building Material

As your roofing contractor, we’re always mindful while installing your ridge caps, valley flashing, and overhang. These are the most important steps to preventing leaks in your building.

That’s why choosing the right roofing contractor is so important—they will completely seal all seams on your commercial gable roof, so it will properly insulate your building and protect against water penetration.

Most installations we complete involve asphalt shingles, though concrete tiles are also a great look for many local businesses.

An experienced contractor will also be able to guide you toward the right material for your facility so your roof doesn’t fall apart after the first strong winds of the year.

If, for instance, you are looking for a roof that will last hundreds of years with proper maintenance and installation, then perhaps slate or tile is the right choice for you. However, if you want an effective, yet low price roofing material, then maybe metal roofing or architectural shingles are the way to go. Either way, your licensed roofing contractor will point you in the right direction.

What Our Customers Say

Mike Beary was awesome. Good customer service, did what he said he was going to do and didn’t leave a mess

Jimi DeClue

Wildwood was one out of the couple companies I was looking into to complete my roofing project I decided to go with them because of the good reviews I had seen and I was not disappointed they had some minor issues but everything was taken care of in a reasonable time frame I would recommend them again considering I have had way more issues with companies prior the rep kept in communication with me until the job was completed and closed out they offer 10 year warranty and that was another plus thanks Wildwood for helping me through the process

Wow! After the storms mid April of 2023 I had water pouring into my kitchen and was stunned. Wildwood roofing had been in my neighbourhood in the past and they came up #1 on Google when I searched for licensed and bonded roofer in 63021. They were extremely responsive and I was in touch with Jay H. within less than a day. Once he heard that there was water that leaked into my house he changed his plans and came immediately to my house to inspect for damage. Keep in mind that the whole area had been hit by storms and he still made the time to come out.Working as a team with the insurance company Mike B. showed up to my house to be there and hear what they had to say. It is evident that Wildwood communicates well because Mike told me that Jay had contacted him early that morning so that he could be present with the claims adjusters. After the insurance inspector give me some unexpected news Mike told me that they’d help in anyway they can. While going through my file cabinet I found an old invoice from the roof repair done in 2015 which was done by another company and I was straight forward with Jay about the other company assuming responsibility. Upon hearing this he remained professional, saying nothing negative about his competition and offered continued help if we needed it. Wildwood roofing is VERY professional and responsive!I would 100% recommend them to anyone who asks for a reference.
