Commercial Roofing in Missoula, MT
Your business can't afford roofing problems. We provide durable, code-compliant commercial roofing in Missoula, including flat roof installations, TPO and EPDM membrane systems and large-scale replacements, with minimal disruption to your operations.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install
Commercial buildings in Missoula range from single-story shops and offices to multi-unit residential buildings and retail centers, and their roofs vary just as much. We work on:
- TPO membrane. A single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams. It's widely used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs, and its reflective surface helps keep buildings cooler in summer.
- EPDM membrane. A durable rubber single-ply membrane with a long track record on flat roofs in cold climates.
- Metal roofing. Standing seam and other metal systems for pitched commercial roofs, shops and outbuildings. See metal roofing.
- Asphalt shingles on pitched roofs for multi-unit housing, offices and mixed-use buildings.
Whether you need a new installation, a full replacement or repairs to an existing system, we'll look at the roof in person and recommend what fits the building, the budget and how long you plan to own it.

Flat Roofs: TPO and EPDM
Flat and low-slope roofs have their own problems in Missoula. Snow sits on them instead of sliding off. Water that doesn't drain freezes, thaws and finds every weak seam. And rooftop equipment like HVAC units puts a lot of holes and foot traffic in the membrane.
Drainage comes first
Most flat roof leaks trace back to water that isn't leaving the roof: clogged drains or scuppers, low spots where water ponds, or edges that trap meltwater. A good installation or repair deals with drainage, not just the membrane.
Seams and flashing
On a single-ply roof, the membrane itself rarely fails first. The seams, the flashing at walls and curbs, and the seals around penetrations do. That's where an inspection focuses.
Working around your business
Commercial roofing happens while the building is in use. We plan the work with you, including access, parking, noise and any tenants who need to know, so the job gets done with as little disruption to your operations as possible.
Keeping it in shape
A flat roof lasts longest when someone looks at it regularly, clears the drains and catches small seam and flashing problems early. Checking it in the fall before snow and again in spring after the thaw is a sensible routine for most commercial roofs.
What It Costs
Commercial roofing is priced project by project. The main factors:
- Roof area and access. Larger roofs cost more in total, and building height and access affect setup.
- System. TPO, EPDM, metal and shingles differ in material and labor.
- Tear-off. Removing existing layers, and replacing wet insulation found underneath.
- Penetrations and equipment. Every curb, vent, drain and unit on the roof needs flashing.
- Scheduling. Work around business hours or tenant needs.
We provide a free on-site assessment and an itemized estimate for your building.
How It Works
- Call or request an estimate
Tell us what's going on with your roof: a leak, storm damage, an older roof you're wondering about, or a new roof you're planning. A phone call or the short form is enough to start.
- On-site inspection
We look at the roof itself: the shingles or panels, flashing, vents, gutters, and the attic or ceiling if there's a leak.
- Itemized written estimate
You get a clear estimate covering materials, timeline and recommended solutions, with no hidden fees and no pressure to decide on the spot.
- The work, then full cleanup
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the job around the weather, do the work, and clean up completely when we're done.
- Warranty paperwork and a final walk-through
We walk the finished job with you and go over both warranties: our workmanship warranty on the labor and the manufacturer's warranty on the materials.
Questions About Commercial Roofing
TPO or EPDM: which is better?
Both are proven single-ply membranes for flat roofs. TPO's white, reflective surface helps with summer cooling and its seams are heat-welded. EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane with a long history in cold climates. The right choice depends on the building, the existing roof and your budget, and we'll explain the tradeoffs for your roof.
Can you work while our business is open?
Usually, yes. We plan the schedule, access and staging with you ahead of time to keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you handle multi-unit residential buildings?
Yes. Our experience runs from single-family homes to multi-unit buildings and commercial properties.
Can a leaking flat roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often. If the leaks are at seams, flashing or drains and the rest of the membrane is sound, a repair can add years. If water has soaked the insulation across large areas, replacement is usually the better investment. The inspection tells you which.
