Commercial roofing is a different discipline from residential. Flat and low-slope systems (TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing) each have specific installation requirements and performance characteristics. Houghton Roofing & Maintenance installs and repairs all of them across Houghton.
Our Commercial Roofing Process
Commercial Roof Assessment
We inspect the entire commercial roof: membrane condition, seam integrity, flashing details, penetration seals, drain function, and insulation condition. Core samples reveal moisture levels in the existing system. You receive a detailed written report.
Project Proposal
Commercial roofing proposals from Houghton Roofing & Maintenance include detailed specs, phasing plan if applicable, tenant coordination plan, and a realistic timeline. One number, no surprises.
Expert Crew
Our commercial crew installs per manufacturer specifications and NRCA guidelines. Hot-air welded TPO seams tested with a probe at every joint. Flashing details custom-fabricated for your building's penetrations. Insulation installed to achieve minimum R-value per code.
Warranty Activation
Manufacturer warranty registered upon completion, 15-20 year coverage depending on system and build-up. We offer maintenance contracts to keep your warranty valid and your roof performing for its full life span.

About Our Houghton Commercial Roofing Services
Ponding water is the number one cause of commercial roof failure. Water that doesn't drain within 48 hours degrades the membrane and insulation underneath. Houghton Roofing & Maintenance installs tapered insulation systems that create positive drainage to scuppers, drains, or roof edges, minimum quarter-inch per foot slope.
