ServicesCommercial Roof Repair
Commercial Roof Repair in Guthrie
A leak over a sales floor, office or storage room costs you more than ceiling tiles. We track down where water is actually entering, use repair products made for your specific roof system, and explain what local code expects for the job before anyone starts.
Repairs for flat, low-slope and metal roofs
Most commercial buildings have a roof that sheds water slowly: TPO or EPDM membrane, modified bitumen, built-up tar and gravel, or screwed-down metal panels. These systems usually fail at specific points, not across the whole surface. A seam lets go, flashing pulls away from a rooftop unit, a drain clogs and water sits for days. Fixing those points correctly can add years to a roof that still has life left.
Our repair plans are written around the code that applies to commercial roofs. If a repair is large enough that the city wants a permit, or if it touches the roof's insulation or fire rating, we explain why and handle the paperwork. If your roof is past saving, we will say so and point you to our commercial roof replacement page instead of patching something that will leak again next spring.
What a commercial repair includes
- 01
Leak tracing
Water on a flat roof can travel several feet under the membrane before it drips inside. We follow it back to the actual entry point, so you are not paying to patch the wrong spot.
- 02
Seam and membrane repair
We clean and reweld or re-adhere open seams and patch punctures with compatible material. TPO gets TPO and EPDM gets EPDM, because mismatched products tend to separate.
- 03
Flashing at units, curbs and walls
Rooftop HVAC curbs, pipe penetrations, skylights and parapet walls are where most leaks start. We reseal or rebuild the flashing so it moves with the building instead of cracking.
- 04
Drains, scuppers and ponding
We clear and repair drains and scuppers and look at why water is ponding. Standing water speeds up membrane breakdown and adds weight the deck was not built for.
- 05
Metal roof fasteners and panels
Exposed fasteners back out as metal expands and contracts through the seasons. We replace worn screws and washers, reseal laps and swap damaged panels.
- 06
Photos and a written scope
You get photos of what we found and a line-item scope before we start, so you can share it with an owner, a landlord or your insurance carrier.
Questions about Commercial Roof Repair?
Call(405) 883-9361Signs your commercial roof needs repair
Stained or sagging ceiling tiles
A tile that keeps going brown means water is reaching it on a regular basis. The leak above is often bigger than the stain suggests.
Ponding that lingers
A flat roof should drain within a day or so of a storm. Standing water that hangs around longer points to a clogged drain or a low spot, and it works its way into weak seams quickly.
Bubbles, wrinkles or open seams
Blisters in modified bitumen or lifted edges on a single-ply membrane let moisture into the insulation below.
Damage after hail or high wind
Oklahoma spring storms can bruise membranes and dent metal without an obvious hole. A careful look afterward catches problems before they reach inside.
Rust or loose screws on metal panels
Rust streaks around fasteners mean the seal has failed. Left alone, the hole widens and the panel underneath corrodes.
How a repair visit runs
- 1
We talk on the phone first
You tell us what you are seeing, where and how often. We ask about the roof type and any rooftop equipment so we arrive ready.
- 2
Roof walk and leak tracing
We inspect the roof surface, seams, flashing and drains, and check inside where the water shows. We take photos as we go and keep foot traffic away from tenants and customers where possible.
- 3
Written scope and code answer
We explain what failed and why, what we recommend and whether a permit or inspection applies. You approve the work before anything is cut or sealed.
- 4
The repair and cleanup
We schedule around your business hours when we can, complete the repair and haul off old material. You get after photos showing the finished work.
What affects the cost of a commercial repair
Every repair is priced from what we find on your roof, not from a flat rate. Small seam or flashing fixes are usually modest. The price grows when water has soaked insulation or damaged the deck underneath.
- Roof system
- Single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, built-up roofs and metal each need different materials and methods.
- Extent of hidden damage
- Wet insulation has to be cut out and replaced, or it will keep holding water and rotting the deck.
- Access and equipment
- Roof height, ladder or lift needs, and working around rooftop units all change labor time.
- Code items
- Larger repairs can require a permit and an inspection, and code may call for upgraded insulation or flashing details when sections are replaced.
Commercial roof repair questions
Do commercial roof repairs need a permit in Guthrie?
Small repairs like resealing a seam or replacing fasteners usually do not. Replacing a larger section, changing insulation or touching structural decking can. We tell you which applies to your job and file the paperwork when the city requires it.
What credentials do you hold for commercial work?
We carry an Oklahoma commercial roofing license along with an Oklahoma general contractor license. Together they cover commercial roof work and the related repairs that sometimes come with it, like decking or flashing tied into walls.
Can you work without shutting down my business?
Most repairs happen on the roof with little effect inside. We plan noisy work or interior access around your hours where we can and keep walkways clear for staff and customers.
Should I repair or replace my flat roof?
If the problems are limited to a few seams, flashings or drains and the insulation is mostly dry, repair usually makes sense. If leaks keep moving, the membrane is brittle across the surface or large areas are saturated, replacement is often the better spend. We show you photos so the call is yours.
Can you help with an insurance claim after a storm?
We photograph the damage and write up a scope you can hand to your carrier. Coverage is decided by the adjuster, not by us. What we can do is walk them through our findings, and meet them on the roof if that is useful.
Get the leak found and fixed properly
Tell us what is happening at your building and we will set up a time to look at the roof. You will know what failed, what it takes to fix and whether any city paperwork is involved before work begins.
