Small buildings, careful roofs

Roofing a building people are working in

Small commercial buildings often combine roof types: a pitched shingle or metal roof over the main structure, a low-slope section over an addition or entry, and rooftop equipment that needs curbs and flashing of its own. JACCO works on roofs for small commercial properties, typically as part of an addition, a renovation or a building improvement, coordinating roofing partners and handling the framing, decking and carpentry beneath the roof surface.

Commercial roofing has to work around the business below it. Noise, debris and material deliveries are scheduled with you, entrances and parking are kept safe, and the interior is protected whenever part of the roof is opened. If the deck or framing shows damage once the old roofing comes off, it is repaired as carpentry before new roofing goes down, and any change in scope is priced before it proceeds.

Low-slope roofs deserve particular attention. Membrane seams, parapet flashing, drains and scuppers decide whether a flat roof sheds water or holds it. JACCO plans those details the way it does on residential porches and additions, as described on our roof waterproofing page. For leaks on an existing commercial roof, see commercial roof repair.

Why JACCO

Roofing work that respects the business below

The right partner for the system

Different roof systems call for different specialists. JACCO brings in roofing partners suited to the material and handles the structure, decking, carpentry and coordination around them, with one schedule and one contract for you.

The business protected during work

Entrances, parking and interiors are planned around before tear-off begins. Debris is controlled, the site is cleared daily, and any opened section is covered before the crew leaves.

Structure checked under the surface

Once old roofing is off, the deck and framing are inspected. Soft or damaged sections are replaced as carpentry, which is core JACCO work, and priced before they are built.

More remodeling FAQs

Do you replace roofs on commercial buildings?

On small commercial buildings, yes, typically through roofing partners with JACCO managing the project, the structure and the carpentry. Replacement makes the most sense alongside other work, such as an addition, an exterior renovation or a change of use. Larger buildings and specialized commercial roofing systems are better served by a dedicated commercial roofing contractor, and we will tell you if your building falls in that category.

Can roofing work happen while the business stays open?

Usually, with planning. Noisy tear-off and material deliveries are scheduled for the times that disrupt you least, entrances are kept clear or safely rerouted, and the interior is protected below any opened area. The plan, including how weather delays will be handled, is agreed with you before work is scheduled.

What usually goes wrong on a flat commercial roof?

Most problems start at the details rather than the open membrane: seams that have opened up, flashing at parapets and walls, curbs around rooftop equipment, and drains or scuppers that clog and let water pond. Standing water speeds up wear on most low-slope materials. A careful look at those details is the first step before deciding between repair and replacement.
