Protecting Your Building, Budget, & Business
A commercial roofing problem isn't something you can put off. Leaks interrupt your operations, ponded water damages your building's structure, and failing membranes or worn flashing can become a liability you didn't see coming. When a roof has been patched one too many times, those recurring costs start to add up faster than anyone budgeted for.
At The Roofing Store, we've been serving commercial property owners and facility managers across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts from our home base in Plainfield for more than 40 years. Our commercial division has been running since 2005, and we've worked on warehouses, retail buildings, churches, schools, office buildings, and industrial facilities throughout Southern New England. You've got a business to run, and a roofing project shouldn't get in the way of that any more than it has to.

Chosen for the Conditions, Not the Shelf
Every commercial building brings its own set of demands, and roofing is no exception. A system that works for a flat-roofed warehouse isn't necessarily the right call for a steep-slope church or a restaurant exposed to grease and cooking exhaust. Pitch, drainage layout, rooftop equipment, building use, and load requirements all factor into which system will hold up over time.
The Roofing Store installs across the major commercial system categories, which means we can assess your building and recommend what it actually needs rather than what we happen to have in stock. And once we land on the right system, every installation follows our proprietary approach in line with AIA Specification & Installation Compliance standards. In practice, that covers everything from how materials are staged and underlayments are applied to how flashing, penetrations, and transitions are handled.
A Better Answer for Low-Slope Roofs
We install a wide range of commercial roofing materials. Our work covers flat and low-slope membrane systems, steep-slope roofing, metal roofing, specialty products, and repair work when restoration is the better long-term answer.
EPDM is one of the most established membrane options available for commercial flat and low-slope roofs. This rubber-based material handles UV exposure without degrading quickly and stays flexible through temperature swings that would put stress on other systems.
TPO is a single-ply membrane commonly used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs, where seam integrity and puncture resistance are priorities. Its heat-welded seams create a watertight bond, and white TPO membranes reflect solar heat rather than absorbing it.
Certain commercial properties tend to benefit most from PVC because of its resistance to chemical exposure, fire, wind, and harsh rooftop conditions. PVC isn't for every roof, but when conditions call for a tougher membrane, it makes the most sense.
DURO-LAST is a prefabricated single-ply commercial roofing system. Each roof is custom-fabricated in a controlled factory environment to match your home’s specific dimensions, reducing on-site seaming and limiting common installation variables.
Commercial metal roofing is a natural fit for steep-slope applications, architecturally distinctive buildings, agricultural-style commercial properties, institutional buildings, and any commercial structure where longevity and finished appearance both need to be considered.
When the Pitch Calls for a Different Product
Flat roofs get a lot of attention in commercial roofing, but steep-slope sections have their own requirements that can't be overlooked. Churches, schools, office buildings, retail properties, historic structures, and smaller commercial buildings often call for asphalt shingles, impact-resistant shingles, wood shakes, Eco-Shake, or other specialty products.
The Roofing Store installs CertainTeed and Tamko Titan XT shingle products for steep-slope commercial applications. Architectural asphalt shingles can be a cost-effective, long-lasting option for smaller commercial buildings, while impact-resistant shingles help reduce the risk of storm damage on properties exposed to high winds, hail, and debris. We round that out with wood shakes for historic buildings and commercial skylights and chimney services for properties that need a little more from their contractor.
Safety & Standards Built Into Every Project
A commercial roof is only as good as its installation. The Roofing Store follows OSHA safety standards on every commercial roofing project and holds OSHA 90 training. We also adhere to AIA Specification & Installation Compliance standards because a commercial building leaves very little room for installation shortcuts without consequences later.
Our commercial roofing work is fully licensed and insured. We install manufacturer-backed systems from trusted product lines, including EPDM, TPO, PVC, DURO-LAST, CertainTeed, Tamko Titan XT, AB Martin, VicWest, Kassel & Irons, Mule-Hide, and WeatherBond Roofing. At the end of the day, every standard we follow is meant to protect the roof, the people inside, and the money you've invested in the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
EPDM, TPO, PVC, and DURO-LAST are the primary systems we install for flat and low-slope roof applications. The best choice depends on the building's use, roof layout, drainage, budget, and exposure, which is why we inspect the property before making a recommendation.
Most commercial roof replacements take between 2 and 5 days, depending on roof size, system type, building access, weather, and project complexity. Before anything starts, we'll give you a realistic timeline and plan the work around your operations to minimize disruption.
