Our Commercial Roof Repair and Maintenance Services
Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks can cause a lot of damage if not fixed right away. Our crew uses careful inspections and modern tools to find hidden leaks. We look for common signs, like water stains, mold growth, and missing shingles.
When we find a leak, we repair the area with quality materials. This stops water from getting inside and prevents further problems. Fast repairs help protect walls, ceilings, and belongings from water damage. With Santa Ana receiving most of its annual 12.54 inches of rainfall between November and April, we see an increase in leak detection calls during these months, with February historically being the wettest month (13.99 inches recorded in February 1998).
Emergency Roofing Services
Storms, fallen trees, or sudden damage can leave a roof in bad shape very quickly. We offer emergency roofing services so you don't have to wait days for support. Our crew responds fast, no matter the time of day. As residents of Santa Ana know, while major storms are relatively rare, when they do occur they can be intense – the highest recorded rainfall in a 24-hour period was 4.69 inches on February 16, 1927, the kind of weather event that can cause substantial roof damage.
We safely assess the damage and make temporary repairs to shield your property. This helps prevent further water damage while we prepare a long-term solution. We work with many insurance companies, making the claims process smoother for our customers. Our emergency response team covers all Santa Ana ZIP codes (92701–92708, 92711, 92712, 92728, 92735, 92799) with priority service to areas historically prone to weather-related damage.
Preventative Roof Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your roof and lowers the risk of sudden problems. Our maintenance plans include inspecting the entire roof, cleaning gutters, and checking for weak spots or loose shingles. With Santa Ana's elevation of 115 feet (35 m) and its position relative to the Santa Ana River watershed, proper drainage systems are critical for roof longevity, and our maintenance programs place special emphasis on these components.
We schedule visits seasonally, which can catch small issues before they get worse. Keeping up with roof care also helps lower the chance of costly repairs and keeps your home or business protected year-round. Our data shows that properly maintained roofs in Santa Ana can last 20-40% longer than those without regular care, representing significant cost savings for property owners.
What Types of Commercial Roofs Do We Install?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) Roofing
TPO is a single-ply roofing membrane known for its durability, heat-reflective properties, and strong resistance to UV exposure. It is commonly used on commercial flat roofs to help reduce cooling costs and improve energy efficiency. Because it is heat-welded at the seams, it provides a watertight, long-lasting seal.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Roofing
PVC roofing is a high-performance single-ply membrane that offers excellent chemical and fire resistance. It is often used on commercial buildings with grease, chemical, or industrial exposure due to its durability and strong seam strength. The material maintains flexibility over time, helping it perform well in varying temperatures.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Roofing
EPDM is a rubber-based roofing membrane valued for its long lifespan and weather resistance. It is especially effective in regions with significant temperature fluctuations because it expands and contracts without damage. EPDM is also a cost-effective solution with straightforward repair and maintenance options.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified Bitumen is a multi-layer, asphalt-based roofing system reinforced with polymers for added strength and flexibility. It is applied in layers and can be installed using heat welding, cold adhesives, or self-adhered sheets. The system provides excellent durability, puncture resistance, and predictable long-term performance.
Our Commercial Roof Installation Process
Initial Consultation and Inspection
We begin with a free consultation, where one of our experienced roofers meets you at your property. During this visit, we talk about your roofing concerns and goals—whether it's a leak, an old roof, or new construction.
Our inspection is detailed. We check the roof surface, attic, flashing, gutters, and all areas where water could enter. We look for signs of damage like cracked shingles, weak spots, mold, or water stains. Our goal is to find both obvious and hidden issues. Our comprehensive 27-point inspection system was developed specifically for Santa Ana homes, taking into account the city's unique weather patterns where precipitation is concentrated in the winter months (with 6.3 days of measurable precipitation in January compared to just 0.1 days in August).
We explain our findings clearly. You will know about any problems, how urgent they are, and the best repair or replacement options. Our inspection reports include photographic documentation and detailed measurements using satellite imagery and drone technology when appropriate.
Detailed Project Estimate
After the inspection, we prepare a written estimate. This includes the scope of work, types of materials, labor, and how long the project will take. We list each step and what it costs so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Our estimates are typically 15-20% more detailed than industry standards, allowing Santa Ana homeowners and businesses to make fully informed decisions about their roofing investments.
Our estimates are clear and easy to understand, with no hidden fees. We use only quality materials and trusted brands. If you are unsure about materials, we offer affordable roofing options and several product choices to fit your budget. With Santa Ana's median household income being $54,521 (2005-2009 data), we strive to provide options that balance quality and affordability for all budgets.
We answer questions about the estimate and can make adjustments if your needs change. This way, you can plan ahead with confidence. Our project management software allows real-time estimate adjustments and transparent pricing, a service particularly valued by Santa Ana's business community, which includes over 3,000 commercial establishments.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofs
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on commercial buildings and some modern homes in Santa Ana. They make it easy to install equipment like solar panels or HVAC units. Materials usually include single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, or built-up roofing. These roof types are particularly prevalent in Santa Ana's South Coast Metro area, which contains several high-rise office and apartment buildings, and is home to major businesses including Yokohama Tire Corporation's United States headquarters and Banc of California.
Our flat roofing systems give reliable protection against leaks when installed with correct drainage. These roofs need regular checks because water can pool on the surface. Still, many customers like the efficiency and access a flat roof provides. Approximately 74% of commercial buildings in Santa Ana utilize flat or low-slope roofing systems, and we've installed or repaired thousands of square feet across the city's business districts..
Professional Installation Procedures
When it's time to install your new roof or make repairs, we follow industry standards for safety and quality. Our team arrives on time and sets up protective measures around your property, such as tarps for landscaping and safety barriers. Our installation teams are thoroughly trained in Santa Ana's building codes and permitting requirements, which have evolved significantly since the city was incorporated on June 1, 1886.
We handle the entire process ourselves. This includes removing old materials, fixing any damaged wood, and installing the new roofing system. We focus on careful installation of underlayment, flashing, shingles, or tiles. Our crews complete most residential roof replacements in Santa Ana within 1-3 days, and we've successfully managed larger commercial projects up to 50,000 square feet while maintaining our quality standards.
At every stage, we check our work for accuracy. Before we leave, we clean up all job debris. We finish with a final walk-through and explain your roof warranty and care tips, so you understand how to protect your investment. Our installation procedures comply with the stringent requirements of Santa Ana's building department, which oversees construction in this densely populated city with approximately 11,000 residents per square mile.
