Is It Time to Replace Your Commercial Roof?

A commercial roof is a major investment in your property, your operations, and the people inside your building. When repairs are no longer enough, Koda Roofing & Construction provides professional commercial roof replacement services designed to improve performance, reduce ongoing maintenance concerns, and protect your property for years to come.

We replace commercial roofing systems throughout Pittsboro, Chapel Hill, Durham, Chatham County, and surrounding areas of North Carolina.

Not every roof problem requires a full replacement. However, an aging or repeatedly damaged roof can become increasingly expensive to maintain.

A commercial roof replacement may be the best option when:

The existing roof is approaching the end of its expected service life
Leaks continue to return after multiple repairs
Large sections of the roof membrane are damaged or deteriorated
Moisture has entered the insulation or roof system
The roof has widespread cracking, blistering, punctures, or open seams
Drainage problems are causing recurring ponding water
Storm damage affects a significant portion of the roof
Repair costs are becoming difficult to justify
The current roof no longer meets the needs of the building

Our team will inspect the roof, evaluate the condition of the existing system, and explain whether replacement is appropriate for your property.

Commercial Roofing Systems We Replace

Koda Roofing & Construction works with a range of commercial and low-slope roofing systems.

TPO Roofing

TPO is a single-ply roofing membrane commonly used on commercial buildings. It provides a durable, reflective roofing surface and can be installed using several attachment methods depending on the structure and project requirements.

TPO roofing is often selected for:

Office buildings
Retail properties
Warehouses
Multifamily buildings
Churches
Schools and community buildings
Light industrial properties

EPDM Roofing

EPDM is a flexible rubber roofing membrane known for its durability and ability to perform well on low-slope and flat roof areas.

EPDM may be a good option for:

Flat roof sections
Commercial additions
Smaller commercial buildings
Multifamily properties
Buildings with complicated penetrations or roof layouts

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing provides long-term durability and can be used on many commercial, agricultural, and industrial properties.

Commercial metal roof replacement options may include:

Standing seam metal roofing
Exposed-fastener metal roofing
Replacement of damaged metal roof panels
New flashing, trim, closures, and accessories

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Some commercial properties have steep-slope roof sections that use asphalt shingles. We replace commercial shingle roofs using properly installed underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and manufacturer-approved roofing components.

Our Commercial Roof Replacement Process

Every building is different. We develop the replacement plan around the condition of the existing roof, the building structure, drainage requirements, insulation needs, and the intended use of the property.

Roof Evaluation: We inspect the existing roofing system and look for visible damage, deterioration, drainage concerns, moisture intrusion, failing seams, flashing problems, and other conditions that may affect the replacement.
Replacement Recommendations: We discuss suitable roofing materials, installation options, insulation considerations, warranty options, project scheduling, and any building-specific concerns.
Detailed Proposal: You will receive a written proposal outlining the recommended roofing system and the included scope of work. For larger or more complex projects, we can coordinate with property managers, owners, contractors, consultants, and other project representatives.
Project Preparation: Before installation begins, we coordinate material deliveries, site access, staging areas, safety requirements, and scheduling to help limit disruptions to the property.
Roof Installation: Our team removes or prepares the existing roof as specified, completes necessary decking or substrate work, installs the new roofing system, and addresses roof penetrations, flashing, perimeter details, drainage components, and accessories included in the project.
Final Review: After the installation is complete, we review the finished roof, remove project debris, and complete a final cleanup of the work area.

Commercial Roof Tear-Off and Replacement

Depending on the existing roof and applicable requirements, a project may involve removing the current roofing system before installing the new roof.

A full tear-off allows the underlying deck and roof assembly to be evaluated for:

Wet or damaged insulation
Deteriorated decking
Trapped moisture
Structural concerns
Hidden damage
Improperly installed previous roofing materials

Any additional repairs discovered after removal will be documented and discussed before work proceeds beyond the agreed scope.

Insulation and Energy-Efficiency Considerations

The insulation beneath a commercial roof can affect indoor comfort, condensation control, energy performance, and the overall function of the roofing system.

During the planning process, we can evaluate options such as:

Replacement of wet or damaged insulation
Additional rigid insulation
Tapered insulation for improved drainage
Cover board installation
Reflective roofing membranes
Improvements around roof penetrations and transitions

Recommendations will depend on the existing construction, roof design, and project requirements.

Drainage and Ponding Water

Commercial roofs must move water efficiently toward drains, scuppers, gutters, or other drainage points.

As part of the roof replacement, we evaluate visible drainage conditions and may recommend improvements such as:

Tapered insulation
Crickets or saddles
Drain repairs or replacement
Scupper improvements
New commercial gutters and downspouts
Adjustments around ponding areas

Some standing water immediately after rainfall may be normal, but water that remains on the roof for extended periods can contribute to premature deterioration and recurring leaks.

Flashing and Roof Penetrations

A commercial roofing system is only as reliable as its transitions and details. Roof replacements may involve new flashing or roofing components around:

HVAC equipment
Pipes
Vents
Skylights
Roof hatches
Parapet walls
Coping
Curbs
Drains
Scuppers
Expansion joints
Mechanical equipment

These areas are carefully integrated into the new roofing system as part of the approved project scope.

Commercial Roof Replacement for Occupied Buildings

We understand that many commercial properties must remain open during construction.

Our team works with building owners and property managers to coordinate:

Work hours
Delivery and staging locations
Tenant or employee access
Parking restrictions
Temporary closures
Interior protection concerns
Noise-sensitive operations
Daily cleanup

Although roofing work will create some noise and activity, careful planning can help minimize disruption.
