A shingle roof is one of the most critical elements of your commercial building, yet often, it is overlooked. Unfortunately, even minor roof issues that are not addressed quickly and skillfully can significantly impact other areas of your building.
Worn out or poorly installed shingles can be a source of water leaks on commercial roofs, leading to interior water damage and potential structural damage, which could be unsafe. If your commercial shingle roof has gone for too long without maintenance and repairs or has simply reached the end of its lifespan, it’s time to replace it.
Worn out or old shingles exhibit telling signs that they’ve reached the end of their use, including:
Other signs your shingled roof needs to be replaced are dark streaks caused by airborne algae and an overgrowth of moss.

We are happy to help resolve your commercial roofing issues by providing reliable and affordable roofing solutions.
Although TPO is an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for many building owners, research shows that TPO can experience warping, shrinking, flaking, and peeling along its seams. This wear is typically caused by exposure to extreme temperatures and, in some cases, leads to leaks and interior water damage. Depending on the size of the damage, West County may be able to remedy it with repairs, but we will need to determine a new roofing solution in some cases.
When TPO-covered flat roofs have insufficient drainage, ponding water can gather. If this water sits for long periods, especially over the top of seams, the TPO roofing system can completely degrade and lead to extensive water infiltration. In these cases, West County Roofing can replace your roofing system.
