Fast, code-compliant commercial and industrial roofing for San Jose businesses — TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified-bitumen flat roofs, 24/7 emergency leak response, and preventative maintenance contracts that protect your building and your uptime.
Commercial roofing covers the low-slope and flat roof systems on offices, warehouses, retail, and industrial buildings — where drainage, seam quality, and membrane choice decide whether a roof lasts 25 years or leaks in five. We install, restore, and repair TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified-bitumen roofs across San Jose, and when a leak opens over your inventory we respond 24/7. For pitched or steep-slope buildings, see our roof replacement and metal roofing services. If you have heard that TPO will rot a wood deck, our breakdown of TPO over a wood roof deck explains what actually causes that failure and how the assembly prevents it.
24/7 emergency response — same-day leak containment and tarping so water never reaches equipment, stock, or tenants.
Heat-welded TPO & PVC systems — factory-spec welded seams and tapered insulation that eliminate ponding water.
Title 24 cool-roof compliance — reflective membranes that meet California code and cut building cooling load 10–30%.
Maintenance contracts — scheduled inspections and repairs that extend roof life and protect the warranty.
Every job starts with a rooftop assessment and a written, photo-documented scope. Each service has its own page with the detail building owners ask for.
Membrane failures, punctures and storm leaks over inventory or equipment. We contain the water first, then fix the cause. See 24/7 emergency commercial roof repair in San Jose.
TPO and modified bitumen re-roofs phased around your tenants, with drainage corrections and Title 24 cool-roof membranes. See commercial roof replacement in San Jose.
Seam, drain and flashing checks with photos and a repair-versus-replace recommendation you can take to an owner or board. See commercial roof inspection in San Jose.
Every commercial roof starts with a rooftop assessment so we recommend the most durable, cost-effective system for your building, traffic, and drainage — not a one-size-fits-all membrane. Comparing contractors first?
Heat-welded, reflective single-ply — the best-value system for most San Jose commercial buildings. 20–30 year lifespan and Title 24 cool-roof compliant.
Multi-ply torch-down for high-traffic and ponding-prone roofs — rugged, redundant waterproofing that stands up to foot traffic and rooftop equipment.
Reflective silicone and acrylic coating systems that restore an aging flat roof and extend its life at a fraction of tear-off cost — ideal for tight maintenance budgets.
Chemical-resistant PVC for restaurants and buildings with grease exhaust, and durable EPDM for large low-slope roofs — welded or seam-taped for a watertight envelope.
A commercial roof protects everything under it — inventory, equipment, tenants, and uptime. Here's what a properly specified system delivers.
Tapered insulation, crickets, and welded seams move water off the roof instead of into it — the #1 cause of premature flat-roof failure.
Reflective cool-roof membranes meet California Title 24 and cut rooftop heat gain, lowering HVAC load across San Jose's warm season.
Manufacturer system warranties up to 30 years plus our workmanship warranty — registered and protected with a maintenance plan.
From first call to warranty registration, a clear process keeps your project on schedule and your building dry.
We inspect the membrane, seams, drainage, insulation, and penetrations, then document conditions with photos and moisture readings. Between visits, our flat roof maintenance checklist shows what to look for.
You get an itemized proposal with the recommended system, drainage corrections, and a phased schedule that keeps operations running.
Our crews install to manufacturer spec, pass inspection, and register your system warranty — with maintenance options to protect it long-term.
Local, licensed, and commercial-first — with 24/7 emergency response and the reviews to back it up across the South Bay.
A full commercial flat-roof replacement — old, failing surface removed and rebuilt with a clean, watertight membrane system. See our commercial roof replacement in San Jose.
For most San Jose commercial and industrial buildings, TPO is the best-value flat-roof system: heat-welded seams create a monolithic watertight membrane, the reflective white surface cuts cooling load and helps meet Title 24, and it lasts 20–30 years. Modified bitumen (torch-down) suits high-traffic or ponding-prone roofs, and roof coatings can restore an existing roof at a fraction of tear-off cost.
Yes. We schedule commercial and industrial re-roofs in phases so your business keeps operating — sequencing sections, protecting rooftop equipment, and keeping the interior dry throughout. Each phase is opened, dried in, and closed the same day, so a section of membrane is never left exposed overnight over inventory, equipment, or tenant space. HVAC curbs, skylights, and other penetrations are flashed as each section is completed rather than at the end, and deliveries, crane picks, and dumpster placement are timed around your loading dock and customer hours. For HOAs and property managers we provide inspection reports, budget planning, and phased scheduling that minimizes tenant disruption, along with written notices you can pass to tenants before each phase begins. If a membrane fails before the scheduled work, our 24/7 emergency service across San Jose and the South Bay tarps and mitigates the leak so the project timeline holds.
Yes — preventative maintenance contracts include scheduled inspections, seam and flashing checks, drain and scupper clearing, and minor repairs that extend the life of a commercial roof and protect its warranty. Most manufacturer warranties on TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen systems require documented periodic maintenance, so a contract is also what keeps that coverage enforceable. A typical schedule is two visits a year, before and after the wet season, plus a check after any major storm. Each visit produces a written report with photos of every seam, flashing, drain, and penetration, a list of the minor repairs completed on the spot, and a note of anything that should be budgeted for later. Pairing maintenance with a documented roof inspection catches small problems before they become leaks, and it gives property managers and HOA boards a clear record for capital planning instead of a surprise replacement. For multi-building work at scale, see a 26-unit HOA tile roof replacement in Vallejo.
Yes — Lifetime Roofing & Renovation is fully licensed (CA License #1090028, C-39 Roofing) and insured, and we're an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor. We also serve nearby markets, including commercial roofing in Sunnyvale and across Santa Clara County.
Yes. Our commercial roofing services cover San Jose and the wider Santa Clara County market from our Sunnyvale base, including Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Cupertino and Campbell. The same crews handle single-tenant industrial buildings, multi-tenant retail, office parks and HOA properties, and the same systems are available across the county: TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing and coating restorations. Because we are 15 minutes from most Santa Clara County rooftops, site visits, punch-list items and warranty callbacks do not wait on a crew driving in from another region. Call (408) 685-2177 for a rooftop assessment and an itemized written proposal.
Repair addresses a specific failure: a seam, a flashing, a penetration, a section of wet insulation. Refurbishment, sometimes called restoration, keeps the existing membrane and adds a new surface such as a coating system, which suits a roof that is watertight but weathering and can extend service life several years for a fraction of a tear-off. Full replacement is the answer once the insulation is saturated, the deck is compromised or the membrane has failed across multiple areas, because patching a roof in that condition simply buys months. Our assessment tells you which of the three applies, with moisture readings and photographs rather than an opinion.
From a 24/7 emergency leak to a full flat-roof replacement or a maintenance contract, get an honest rooftop assessment from San Jose's commercial roofing team — same-day emergency response available.
A reflective "cool" membrane bounces sunlight instead of absorbing it, which lowers rooftop and attic-plenum temperatures, reduces HVAC load through the summer, and slows heat-related aging of the membrane. For flat and low-slope commercial roofs in San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale, that means both code compliance and lower cooling bills over the life of the roof.
Not every project is required to hit the prescriptive cool-roof path — some qualify for exceptions or a performance-based alternative. We confirm the requirement for your building during the free commercial roof inspection and document compliance for your permit.
