Roofing for Greer churches, shops and small businesses
TPO on a flat strip-center roof, metal over a warehouse near Highway 101, shingles on a church or a dental office. These are the roofs that keep Greer's businesses dry, and our proposals for them are written so an owner can follow every line.
Commercial buildings in Greer are mostly on the small side. Think of the retail strips on Highway 14 and Wade Hampton, the medical and office buildings around the hospital, a church on nearly every road, and the shops and warehouses that sit between the BMW plant and the inland port. Owners of those buildings need a roofer willing to come out for a 400-square-foot repair as readily as for a 20,000-square-foot replacement, to schedule around business hours, and to hand over a proposal with a scope, a warranty and a price rather than a figure scribbled on a business card.
On flat and low-slope roofs we install and repair TPO and PVC single-ply membranes. On standing-seam and screw-down metal roofs we make repairs and apply recoating. On steep-slope buildings such as churches, offices, restaurants and multi-family housing we install architectural or commercial-grade shingles. Our maintenance agreements include an inspection twice a year, clearing of drains and gutters, checks of seams and flashing, and the records a property manager has to keep. When a storm leads to a claim, we treat the commercial insurance process the way we treat a residential one: fully documented, complete and honest.

Commercial roofing: what people ask us
Will you take on a small commercial job?
Yes. That could be a leak above a single tenant, a 300-square-foot patch or storm repairs on a church. Most commercial buildings in Greer are small, and so is most of our commercial work.
Should my flat roof be TPO or PVC?
TPO suits most flat roofs on cost and performance. PVC is the better choice where grease or chemicals land on the roof, such as a restaurant with a rooftop exhaust fan.
Can the work be scheduled around my business?
Yes. Retail and medical buildings can be done early in the morning, in the evening or on weekends. When we tear off above an occupied space, the work is staged so the roof is watertight every night.
Can you recoat my metal roof instead of replacing it?
If the panels are solid and the trouble is fasteners, seams and surface rust, a restoration coating adds 10 to 15 years for about a third of what replacement costs. If the panels have rusted through, we replace them.
Do you have maintenance agreements?
Yes. Two visits each year, with drains and gutters cleared, seams and flashing checked, and photos plus a report. Keeping that up is what keeps a 20-year warranty in force.
Can you help with a commercial insurance claim?
Yes. We provide documentation, meet the adjusters and write estimates in the carrier's format, exactly as we do for homeowners.
