Commercial Roof Replacement
Commercial Roof Replacement: Protecting Your Investment
Making the decision to pursue a commercial roof replacement requires careful consideration of multiple factors that directly impact your business’s bottom line.
Understanding the warning signs and implications of roof deterioration can help you make an informed decision about replacement timing when selecting a commercial roof replacement company. Great Lakes Commercial Roofing will help you throughout the process.
We Assess
Our thorough assessments ensure tailored roofing solutions for your needs.
We Plan
Precision planning leads to efficient and effective roofing projects every time.
We Build
Trust our expertise to build durable roofs that safeguard your investments.
- Structural sagging often indicates severe water damage or compromised support systems, which can lead to catastrophic failure if left unaddressed.
- Recurring leaks, even after repeated repairs, signal underlying issues that patchwork cannot resolve.
- When your building’s energy costs steadily rise despite normal usage, your roof’s insulation and protective barriers may have deteriorated, reducing its energy efficiency.
Proactive replacement typically costs 25-35% less than emergency replacement scenarios and helps prevent secondary damage to your building’s infrastructure.
Commercial Roofing Systems
Our selection of roofing systems ensures that every business can find the perfect solution for their specific needs.
As an experienced commercial roofing company, we specialize in installing multiple high-performance roofing systems designed to withstand all weather conditions.
- Built-up roofing (BUR) systems
- Modified bitumen roofing
- Single-ply membrane systems (EPDM, TPO, PVC)
- Metal roofing solutions
- Green roofing options
Built-up roofing (BUR) systems offer exceptional durability through multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabrics. This time-tested commercial roofing solution provides outstanding waterproofing and UV protection.
Modified bitumen roofing combines the proven technology of BUR systems with advanced polymer-modified bitumen for enhanced flexibility and strength. This system excels in extreme temperature variations, offering superior durability and tear resistance while maintaining excellent waterproofing properties.
Single-ply membrane systems provide versatile solutions for modern commercial buildings.
- EPDM (rubber) roofing delivers outstanding durability and weather resistance.
- TPO membranes offer excellent energy efficiency through their reflective surface.
- PVC systems provide superior chemical resistance for industrial applications.
Metal roofing solutions feature exceptional longevity and minimal maintenance requirements. These systems offer superior wind resistance and can last up to 50 years, making them a cost-effective long-term investment for your property.
For environmentally conscious businesses, our green roofing options help reduce energy costs while supporting sustainability initiatives. These living roof systems manage stormwater effectively, improve building insulation, and may qualify your business for various environmental certifications and incentives.

The guys from Great Lakes commercial roofing LLC were extremely professional. Kenneth came out and was extremely informative and knowledgeable in regards to roofing.

E Frogwell
When it comes to a company that will get the job done right you have to go with Great Lakes Commercial Roofing. Zac is easy to work with and very knowledgeable about many different products and options. Don’t make the mistake I did and call a contractor that is mainly a residential roofer to look at your industrial roof unless you like wasting money
Tom Havacheck
Great company to work with! I have a building in Pennsylvania but live in another state. My roof was leaking and Zac was sent out and did the inspection on the roof. When he was at the building he called and sent me a link to live pictures
Jason Bakus
These guys are awsome. Great job from start to finish. Did our large commercial catering hall. Always available if we have a question or concern. Roof looks great and best of all. No more leeks. Defiantly recommend
Matthew DeLibero
I’m very satisfied with my new roof. The installers worked around my schedule and did a nice job!
Conrad Miler
Your dedication to quality and service have made working with you a pleasure!
Barb Goliad
I called Great Lakes Commercial Roofing to come check out my building. I had a company put silicone roof coating on it 5 years ago and since day one it never stopped the leaking problems, the other company came out 5 times to “fix the problem” but never did. Zac came out and evaluated my problem and gave me a ton of information on the best solution to fix the problem.
