Commercial Projects Planned With Operations in Mind
A commercial building doesn't get a pass on upkeep just because the people inside it are busy running a business. Tenants still need to come and go, deliveries need to land, and operations can't pause for a few weeks while someone figures out the next move. That's the first thing we think about when a property owner or building manager calls the Roofing Store.
We work with commercial clients across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts on everything from a planned roof replacement to storm cleanup that can't wait. And because a building's exterior is more than just the roof, we also handle siding, windows, chimney work, and skylights. Our team keeps your property completely protected and running smoothly, so you can focus on simply managing your business.
Which Roofing System Fits Your Property?
Commercial roofs come in a variety of shapes, and the pitch of your roof is only part of the equation. How the building is used, what's on the rooftop, how much drainage the design allows, and how long you plan to own the property can all point you to one material over another.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs need materials designed to move water off a surface with almost no pitch to help it along. A few of the systems we install most often include:
TPO: A reflective single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams. Many property owners pick it partly to keep cooling costs down during the warmer months.
EPDM: A rubber membrane with a long track record on large commercial decks. It’s valued for its flexibility and long-term resistance to weathering.
PVC: A single-ply option that stands up well against grease, chemicals, and other rooftop contaminants, which makes it a common pick for restaurants.
Modified Bitumen: Layered, asphalt-based material that handles moderate foot traffic, often installed in multiple courses for added protection.
Duro-Last: Panels prefabricated to your roof's exact dimensions, reducing on-site seaming and potentially shortening installation time.
Each system has strengths that suit particular buildings, and we'll review which one fits yours.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing tends to appeal to owners who want a system that lasts and requires little maintenance. We install standing seam panels, ribbed metal panels, and metal shingles through AB Martin Metal, each with its own look and installation approach.
Standing seam hides its fasteners for a streamlined finish, ribbed panels offer another dependable option, and metal shingles bring that same longevity to buildings with a more traditional roofline.
Asphalt and Specialty Roofing
Not every commercial property has a flat roof, and offices, mixed-use buildings, and smaller commercial spaces often call for a steeper roofline.
We install architectural and impact-resistant asphalt shingles from CertainTeed and TAMKO Titan XT, giving property owners a familiar roofing profile that can also be reinforced against wind and hail where needed.
A full replacement isn't always the answer, so we also handle repairs, inspections, storm assessments, and ongoing maintenance to help a roof with life left in it last as long as it can
Supporting the Entire Exterior
Roofing is where we started, but it's rarely the only thing a commercial building needs. Old siding, drafty windows, deteriorating chimney flashing, and worn skylights often show up around the same time as roofing concerns, and it's worth having one crew address it all.
Siding takes a beating over the years, from sun exposure to hail to whatever else the weather throws at it. When it starts cracking or pulling away from the wall, CertainTeed and Alside give us plenty of profiles and finishes to bring the exterior back to where it should be.
Matthews Brothers supplies metal-clad, vinyl, and wood windows, each chosen to match your building's appearance and material preferences. Newer windows can also reduce drafts, condensation, and the energy loss that comes with an aging frame.
The Roofing Store offers inspections, flashing repairs, and masonry work, since failing chimney flashing can send water into the building in ways that mimic a roof leak. Catching it early keeps the damage from spreading further into the structure.
A skylight can do a lot for a warehouse or office, as long as it doesn't turn into a leak waiting to happen. We install them on most commercial roof types and can also inspect an existing unit. Daylight is worth adding, but not at the expense of a dry roof.
The Standards Behind Every Project
Commercial property owners don't trust a roofing project to just anyone, and we don't expect to be the exception. Our company traces back to Mike Driscoll Building in 1982, and The Roofing Store LLC grew out of that work as its own dedicated division in 2005. Four decades in, that background still shapes how we handle every commercial job.
It's built into the details. Our systems carry manufacturer-backed warranties through CertainTeed and Duro-Last, our installations follow AIA architectural specifications, and our technicians hold OSHA 90 certification for commercial job sites. Every project starts with a detailed written proposal before work ever begins, and financing through GreenSky is available for qualified buyers. That track record gives property owners confidence in handing us the job.
Coverage Across Three States
We're based in Plainfield, CT, in Windham County, and most of our commercial work is concentrated across Windham and New London Counties.
In Connecticut, that includes Plainfield, Danielson, Killingly, Putnam, Thompson, Chaplin, and the surrounding towns, with commercial availability sometimes reaching communities like East Windsor and Shelton. Across the Rhode Island line, we serve Foster, West Greenwich, Smithfield, Cumberland, and the surrounding area. We also take on commercial roofing and exterior projects in Massachusetts, depending on your location and the scope of work.

Frequently Asked Questions
It comes down to the roof's age, how widespread the damage is, and the condition of the membrane, flashing, and drainage. We'll inspect it and tell you honestly whether a repair, some maintenance, or a replacement makes the most sense.
In most cases, yes. We’ll plan around your access needs, operating hours, and staging during the proposal process, so the project moves forward without shutting your business down.
Absolutely. Our project gallery includes photos from commercial jobs we've completed in the region, and our Plainfield showroom is a great place to see the materials in person.
We can. We inspect and repair commercial roofs after wind, hail, and water damage, and we'll document what we find so you have what you need for an insurance claim if one comes up.
