Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Commerce
Roof replacement in Commerce usually means one thing: a flat or low-slope membrane job, not a shingle tear-off. Most of the housing stock here is mid-century single-story stucco with low-slope roofs, and the commercial side is dominated by large flat-roofed warehouses. We know that mix because we work it every week. Whether you’re a homeowner near the Citadel outlet area or a property manager overseeing a freight facility off Bandini Boulevard, call us at (855) 382-0485 for a straight assessment and a written quote.

We’re a roofing-only company, so the person who inspects your roof is the same person accountable for the replacement. No general contractor hedging across trades. In Commerce, that matters more than in most cities because the roof types here are specific: TPO, modified bitumen, elastomeric coatings, and low-slope drainage details that need a roofer who has seen hundreds of them fail. Select Roof Repair has.
Why Select Roof Repair Is Commerce’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Homeowners in Commerce call us because we speak the local roof language. When a customer off Eastern Avenue describes water pooling near an interior drain that hasn’t been cleaned since the last heat wave, we already know what we’ll find. That familiarity speeds up diagnosis and keeps the quote accurate. We’ve replaced roofs across Commerce’s 90101 zip code, from small residential tracts to larger commercial buildings, and the pattern is consistent: the roof is rarely the first failure point. It’s usually drainage, flashing, or an old coating that gave out under inland-basin sun.
Our reputation here comes from doing the unglamorous work right: re-sloping dead-flat sections, rebuilding parapet flashing, coordinating with adjacent property owners when a shared wall is involved. Noel Carrasco, who leads Select Roof Repair, insists that every Commerce replacement starts with a real inspection, not a sales pitch. If a repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If replacement is the smarter long-term call, we’ll show you the numbers and the roof condition behind them.
We also understand the logistics of working in Commerce. Tight lots, shared driveways, and active truck routes are normal here. Our crews plan staging and parking before we ever tear off a roof, and we keep neighbors informed when work touches a shared parapet or party wall. That’s why repeat business and referrals from Commerce property managers are a meaningful part of our volume.

Flat Roof Replacement in Commerce
Flat Roof Replacement in Commerce is the core of our work here, and it typically means removing a failed membrane or blistered coating, correcting the drainage underneath, and installing a new single-ply or modified bitumen system. On older Commerce homes and warehouse rows alike, the flat roof has usually gone through two or three coating applications over the years. The coatings dry out and crack under summer heat, water ponds at the low spots, and the decking starts to rot before anyone notices from the ground. Our approach is to expose the deck, inspect it, and build back a system that drains rather than puddles.
A residential flat roof replacement in Commerce generally runs $9,000 to $16,000 depending on size, decking condition, and edge detail work. Commercial flat roofs run higher because of square footage and code requirements. Either way, we walk you through the membrane options: TPO for reflectivity, modified bitumen for toughness on heavily trafficked roofs, and coatings only when the existing membrane is sound. We’ll never sell a coating as a replacement. On a Commerce roof that has already been coated twice, that’s exactly what a less honest contractor would do.
TPO and Modified Bitumen Systems
TPO membrane is the most common choice for Commerce roofs because it reflects heat well and welds into a seamless surface. For older low-slope homes with awkward parapet details, modified bitumen sometimes fits better. We install both, along with GAF and CertainTeed systems, so the recommendation is driven by your roof’s actual geometry and drainage, not by what we happen to stock.
Interior Drains and Re-Slope Work
Many Commerce flat roofs drain to interior drains rather than scuppers. If the drain is undersized or settled, water ponds and the membrane fails early. Replacing the roof is the right time to re-slope the substrate or add tapered insulation. Skipping that step means the new roof inherits the old roof’s puddles. We don’t skip it.
Roof Installation in Commerce
Roof Installation in Commerce covers both full replacements on existing buildings and new roof systems for additions or new construction. Because so many Commerce properties are flat or low-slope, installation here is less about shingle layout and more about getting the drainage plane, edge metal, and penetration detailing right on day one. We recently completed a replacement on a low-slung mid-century stucco home off the Citadel outlet area. The original system was a blistered elastomeric coating over failed modified bitumen, with ponding at a clogged interior drain. We tore it off, rebuilt the slope with a GAF TPO membrane, installed new flashing at the shared party wall, and set a fresh drip edge along the parapet. A tight driveway meant working with a spotter keeping the alley clear, and we walked the adjacent property manager through the parapet flashing detail before opening it so the neighbor’s side stayed watertight through the swap.
New roof installation in Commerce typically runs $11,000 to $22,000 for residential work depending on square footage, access, and whether the decking needs replacement. For new construction or full commercial installations, the range depends on the building’s use and code path, but we provide a line-item quote so you see exactly where the money goes.
For any Roof Installation in Commerce, the prep work matters as much as the membrane. We check the existing deck for rot, confirm the drainage path, and plan staging before we start. On a dense Commerce lot, that planning prevents three problems at once: a half-open roof when rain shows up, debris in a neighbor’s driveway, and a crew that can’t get materials where they belong.

Roof Decking Replacement
When we open a Commerce roof after years of ponding, the decking is often soft at the low points. Replacing bad decking before the new membrane goes down is not optional. We include decking replacement in the quote when the inspection shows water damage, and we show you photos of what we found before we cover it up.
Flat Roofing on Attached Buildings
Commerce has a lot of attached construction, where two buildings share a party wall and sometimes a parapet. Reroofing one side means coordinating flashing work that touches the neighbor’s side. We handle the notice and the technical work so your replacement doesn’t become a dispute with the building next door.
Trusted Brands We Service in Commerce
We work with seven major manufacturers so a Commerce roof gets the right product for the job, not the product we’re contractually obligated to push. For flat roofs, we regularly install GAF TPO, CertainTeed membranes, and Owens Corning systems. For the occasional pitched section or mansard detail, IKO and Atlas shingles come into play. We don’t stock one brand and force every roof into it. We stock what Commerce’s roof types actually need, which means faster turnaround when your replacement is approved and scheduled.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Commerce Homes
- Ponding water on flat and low-slope roofs: Winter rain exposes clogged or undersized drains, and a replacement that doesn’t re-slope and re-detail the drainage is just a new roof waiting to fail. We fix the drainage plane, not just the surface.
- Dried-out elastomeric coatings from inland-basin sun: Commerce summers bake coating systems until they crack, and the decking underneath rots before anyone sees the damage. A coating-only fix fails fast here; the deck usually needs real attention.
- Shared party walls and parapets: Attached buildings mean flashing work that crosses a property line. If the neighbor’s side isn’t handled correctly, the new roof leaks at the seam and the neighbor blames you. We coordinate the detail before we open the wall.
- Tight staging and limited parking: Many Commerce lots have narrow driveways, active alleys, and no room for a trailer. Crews that don’t plan access leave debris and exposed flashing open to the next rain. We plan access before we quote, so the number you see includes the reality of your site.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Commerce
Because Commerce’s housing stock is mostly mid-century single-story stucco with low-slope or flat roofs, and the commercial side is dominated by flat-roofed warehouses. Shingles need enough pitch to shed water; most Commerce roofs don’t have it. That’s why we quote TPO, modified bitumen, and other membrane systems here far more often than shingle tear-offs. Call (855) 382-0485 and we’ll tell you what your specific roof requires.
We coordinate the flashing detail with the adjacent property owner before we open the wall, so the neighbor’s side stays watertight during and after the work. We document the existing condition, rebuild the flashing to tie both sides together, and leave the seam clean. It adds coordination time but prevents leaks and disputes. Call (855) 382-0485 to schedule an inspection and we’ll flag any shared-wall work in your quote.
Yes. If we need a spotter to manage an active alley, or materials have to be staged on the street and walked in, that labor is part of the quote. Some Commerce lots can’t fit a trailer at all, which changes how we sequence tear-off and delivery. We figure this out during the inspection, so the number you get reflects your actual site, not a generic assumption.
Put the two quotes side by side and check three things: whether the decking is included, whether drainage correction is included, and whether shared-wall flashing is addressed. A cheap quote that skips re-slope work or assumes the decking is fine will cost more when the roof is opened. We’ll write our quote line by line so you can compare it honestly. Call (855) 382-0485 for a free estimate.
Commerce enforces standard municipal noise restrictions, and working hours are typically 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, with weekend work limited. On a dense lot, we keep tear-off and delivery within those hours and communicate the schedule to adjacent neighbors. If your building has an HOA or commercial property manager, we’ll work within their rules too. Ask us about scheduling when you book the inspection.
