Affordable Roofing & Construction LLC

Commercial Roofing

Roofing for homes and businesses across New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties.

Commercial roofs tend to show problems differently than residential roofs. A small leak can travel across insulation or decking before it becomes visible inside, and drainage or rooftop equipment can create issues that would never exist on a typical house.

Affordable Roofing & Construction LLC provides commercial roofing service in Wilmington and throughout New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender Counties. We work with business owners, property managers and building owners on inspections, repairs and replacement planning.

Commercial roof inspections

A good commercial roof inspection looks at more than the surface. We check the roofing membrane or panels, penetrations, flashing, drains, scuppers, seams, transitions and other details that can allow water into the building.

We also look for signs of ponding water, loose materials, deteriorated sealants, storm damage and previous repairs that may have failed.

Commercial roof repair

When the problem is localized and the rest of the system is still serviceable, repair may be the best choice. Common repair situations include:

Leaks around rooftop penetrations
Flashing failures
Membrane punctures or separated seams
Metal roof fastener or flashing issues
Storm and wind damage
Drainage-related leaks

We focus on finding the source of the problem before recommending a repair. On commercial roofs, water can travel a surprising distance before showing up inside the building.

Commercial roof replacement

Replacement becomes worth discussing when the roof has widespread deterioration, repeated leaks or repair costs that are no longer solving the underlying problem. We evaluate the existing system, roof deck, drainage and building use before outlining replacement options.

See our roof replacement services for more information.

Metal roofing for commercial buildings

Metal roofing is common on many commercial, warehouse and light-industrial buildings. The performance of a metal roof depends on the panel system, seams, fasteners, trim, flashing and roof penetrations. When one of those details fails, a leak can develop even though the panels themselves still look good.

TPO and low-slope roofing

Low-slope commercial roofs often use membrane systems such as TPO. These systems require careful attention around seams, penetrations, curbs and drainage areas. If a low-slope roof is leaking, we inspect those details rather than treating it like a shingle roof.

Coastal weather and commercial roofs

Commercial buildings around Wilmington deal with heavy rain, high winds, heat, humidity and salt exposure. Roof edges, rooftop equipment and large open roof areas can all be vulnerable during severe weather. After a major storm, an inspection can identify lifted materials, punctures, loose flashing or drainage problems before the next weather event makes them worse.
