Commercial PVC Roofing Systems In Springfield, MO

PVC is a single-ply membrane for flat and low-slope roofs. It comes in wide sheets that our crew heat welds at the seams, so the laps fuse into one continuous layer. Where PVC stands apart is how it handles grease, oils and many chemicals. Those can soften and wear down other membranes over time, while PVC holds up.

That makes PVC our go-to for restaurants with kitchen exhaust fans on the roof, food processing plants, auto shops and buildings with industrial venting. It also suits roofs with a lot of detail work, since PVC shapes and welds well around curbs and pipes. For a plain warehouse roof with none of those conditions, TPO often does the job for less.

Most buildings stay open while we work. We start with an inspection and core cuts to see what layers are under the surface and whether any insulation is wet. That decides whether we can recover over the existing roof or need a full tear-off. We plan material lifts and work zones around your hours and only open as much roof as we can seal back up that day.

• InsulationWet boards come out, and we add tapered insulation to move water off low spots.
• AttachmentWe mechanically fasten or fully adhere the membrane based on the deck type and wind exposure.
• SeamsEvery seam is hot-air welded and then probed by hand to find any gaps.
• Exhaust areasAround kitchen exhaust fans we can add grease containment so buildup stays off the membrane.
• Flashing and drainsWalls, curbs, pipes and drains get welded PVC flashing, and worn drain parts get replaced.

Our PVC projects generally run $900 to $2,000 per roofing square, and a square is 100 square feet. The price depends on tear-off versus recover, how much wet insulation we find, the insulation and attachment method, the number of curbs, drains and penetrations, edge metal, and access for lifting material. Kitchen exhaust areas and heavy detail work add labor.

Upkeep is mostly about keeping the roof clean and the water moving. Clear drains and scuppers, wash off grease buildup near exhaust fans, and keep foot traffic on walkways. We recommend an inspection each spring and fall and after big storms, so small issues around flashing and penetrations get fixed before they leak inside.
