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

Great company and team of guys! Responded fast after the last storm to fix the leak!

lunker Jacob

Wildwood was called in on an insurance claim as a secondary evaluator. Thomas did a thorough and professional inspection of the damage, submitted a timely report, and did so in a very kind and courteous manner. Very refreshing and much appreciated!

Cheryl Havlin

Mike B was a great communicator and explained the process clearly. Mike was very professional and advocates for his customers with adjusters on behalf of his clients. The whole process of the roof installation was seamless and every detail was tended to. Very happy!

Beth Shackelford

Caleb Hahn did an exceptional job of getting my roof replaced. He worked with my insurance company and was able to make the whole process go very smoothly! Caleb was very professional and did things in a timely manner and communicated with me through the whole process. He always answered my texts or phone calls and was kind and patient!!

Avery O’Connor

I had a new roof put on by Wildwood and they were great throughout the entire process sans a minor hiccup with processing payments online (that said, they at least have a means to accept it, which is more than I can say for some other contractors). Luke was our project manager, and he was very present throughout the entire process. He showed up for the insurance adjuster inspection, drove out on short notice to climb onto the roof and spray sealant on a leak as a stopgap, and was here during the entire installation.I live in south city in one of those cookie-cutter, gingerbread sorta houses, and it took the crew less than 6 hours to completely strip and install a new roof on my house. It was kind of incredible honestly. The crew cleaned up well after themselves, and the best part was my installation date was moved up ~5 weeks from the initial estimate due to some found time on the schedule.I’ll be recommending these guys moving forward, though a note: you should really get your online payment system fixed and to the point where you’re not charging a surcharge for card payments. It’s 2023, it’s time. Everything else was perfect though, and that’s not enough to dock a star off the rating since it was at least an option to begin with.

Sam Schirmer

Working with the professionals at Wildwood Roofing could not have been easier. From the very first visit to the final clean-up I’d give Wildwood Roofing a 10 and recommended them to everyone!
