Our Commercial Roofing Services
Commercial Roof Repairs
A commercial roof leak is not always directly above the stain or drip inside the building. Water follows the roof assembly and building structure. It enters at one point, travels beneath roofing materials or through the deck, and appears inside somewhere else. That makes leak investigation different from simply patching the area above the visible water. Our commercial roofers inspect the roof to determine where the problem is coming from and what is required to correct it.
When a targeted repair is appropriate, we will explain the repair and the condition of the surrounding roof. When deterioration is more widespread, we will explain why continued repairs may no longer be the best use of your roofing budget.
Commercial Roof Replacement
If a commercial roof has widespread deterioration, recurring leaks, extensive membrane damage, or is nearing the end of its expected service life, replacement may provide better long-term value. Bob Hilson & Company installs commercial roofing systems designed for the building, its roof structure, and South Florida conditions.
Before work begins, we evaluate the existing roof and develop a plan for completing the project safely and efficiently. Commercial roofing projects often take place while businesses, tenants, residents, or employees continue using the property. Careful scheduling and jobsite management help reduce unnecessary disruption. We can also phase larger roofing projects by section when appropriate. This can make the project easier to manage on occupied commercial and multi-family properties.
Roof Inspections
Routine inspections give property owners and managers a better understanding of the roof’s current condition and help identify developing problems before they become larger repairs.
Our commercial roof assessments begin with a visual inspection. We review the roof’s age and general condition along with visible roofing components, flashing, drainage areas, penetrations, previous repairs, and other areas that may require attention. After the inspection, we can explain our findings and provide an estimate of the roof’s remaining service life based on its observable condition.
Commercial Roof Maintenance
Preventive commercial roof maintenance can help identify these issues while they are still manageable and inexpensive to fix. Depending on the roof, maintenance may include inspecting flashing, penetrations, membrane surfaces, drains, previous repair areas, roof edges, and other vulnerable components. When we identify a problem, we can explain whether it should be repaired now or monitored.
Maintenance is particularly important on flat and low-slope roofing systems because drainage and rooftop penetrations play such a large role in overall roof performance. For property managers responsible for several buildings, a consistent inspection and maintenance plan can also make future capital planning easier.
Commercial Roof Coatings & Restoration
Replacing the entire roof is not the only option for every aging commercial roofing system. Certain roofs may be candidates for coatings, restoration, or liquid-applied waterproofing systems. These products can address specific roofing needs and may help extend the useful life of an existing system when the underlying roof remains in suitable condition.
The important part is determining whether the roof is actually a good candidate. Applying a coating over a roof with significant trapped moisture, deteriorated decking, or widespread failure does not correct the underlying problem. We inspect the roof first and recommend restoration only when it makes sense for the existing conditions.
Commercial Roofing Systems Our Roofers Work On
There is no single commercial roof system that fits every building in South Florida. Flat and low-slope roofs are the most common on commercial buildings throughout Miami-Dade County. Roof slope, drainage, existing construction, coastal exposure, building use, budget, and expected service life all affect the decision. We work with several roofing systems so the recommendation starts with the building rather than one preferred material.
Built-Up Roofing
Bob Hilson & Company installs and services built-up roofing systems, including asphalt and gravel systems. These roofs use multiple layers to create the finished roofing assembly. Existing built-up roofs often require inspection of both the field of the roof and the details around edges, penetrations, drains, and tie-in points before repair or replacement decisions are made.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen remains a common option for low-slope roofs. The system combines asphalt-based roofing materials with reinforcement designed for commercial applications. We install new modified bitumen systems and repair existing roofs when their condition supports continued service.
Metal Roofs
Metal works well on many commercial buildings because it offers a long service life and strong wind performance when the system is properly designed and installed. Metal roofs also offer repair flexibility in many applications. Individual sections sometimes remain serviceable even when another section has been damaged, although the original fabrication and installation determine how practical a sectional repair will be.
Single-Ply Roofing
Single-ply membranes can provide an effective solution for many low-slope commercial roofs. Systems may be mechanically attached or fully adhered depending on the approved roof design. We review the building, roof deck, existing system, perimeter conditions, and project requirements before specifying an assembly.

Commercial Roofing & Insurance-Related Damage
If wind, falling debris, or another covered event damages your commercial roof, documentation of the roofing conditions are useful during the insurance process. Bob Hilson & Company can inspect the roof, identify visible damage, document the roofing work that is needed, and provide an estimate for the appropriate repairs or replacement. Coverage decisions are made by your insurance carrier according to your policy. Our role is to provide an accurate roofing assessment and clearly explain the work required to restore the roof.
Frequently Asked Commercial Roofing Questions
What types of commercial roofs do you work on?
Bob Hilson & Company works on commercial roofing projects of different sizes and building types throughout Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys. Our experience includes roofing for:
- Office buildings
- Retail properties
- Commercial facilities
- Warehouses
- Condominium buildings
- Townhome communities
- Multi-family properties
- Multi-story buildings
- Property management portfolios
- Industrial properties
Our crews have experience working on multi-story commercial and condominium buildings, including buildings in the five- to six-story range. Commercial and multi-story projects require planning beyond the roofing system itself. Access, tenant activity, pedestrian areas, vehicles, equipment, material staging, and project sequencing all have to be considered.
Do you repair leaking commercial roofs?
Yes. We investigate commercial roof leaks and repair the roofing system once we identify the likely point of entry. The visible leak inside the building is not always directly below the roof defect, so the inspection often covers a larger area than the ceiling stain.
Do you provide commercial roof maintenance?
Yes. Commercial maintenance includes inspecting the roof surface, drainage areas, flashing, penetrations, seams, and previous repair locations. Clearing debris from drains and scuppers is particularly important on flat roofs during South Florida’s rainy season.
How do I know if my commercial roof needs repair or replacement?
The decision depends on the amount of deterioration, frequency of leaks, roof age, moisture condition, and how much of the roofing system is affected. A localized problem generally points toward repair, while widespread failure or recurring problems across the roof make replacement worth evaluating.
