Our Commercial Roofing Services
Commercial Roof Replacement
Our commercial roof replacement service involves removing aging systems and installing new, highly efficient roofs that last for decades. In a roof replacement project, we use durable materials like TPO, EPDM, and metal. We follow the step-by-step installation, from preparing the surface to applying a watertight seal for maximum strength, energy efficiency, and peace of mind.
Commercial Roof Repair
We offer quick and precise roof repairs that address leaks, membrane punctures, flashing failures, and storm or UV damage before they compromise your structure. Using industrial-grade sealants, reinforced patching, infrared leak detection, and advanced waterproofing techniques, our team restores your roof's integrity to prevent costly structural issues and extend the system’s service life.
Flat & Low-Slope Roofing
Designed for large commercial and industrial buildings, our flat and low-slope roofing systems combine efficient drainage and high-performance waterproofing. We install modern single-ply membranes like TPO and EPDM, along with modified bitumen systems, engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance.
Metal Roofing
Our commercial metal roofing systems deliver unmatched durability, energy efficiency, and weather resistance for long-term building protection. Crafted from interlocking panels of galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper, each installation forms a seamless, watertight barrier that resists corrosion, high winds, and fire. Durable commercial metal roofs provide decades-long, low-maintenance protection to our business clients.
Sloped / Steep-Slope Roofing
Ideal for properties with roof pitches of 3:12 or greater, our steep-slope roofing combines architectural appeal with excellent water shedding. We install premium materials such as asphalt shingles, clay or concrete tiles, and natural slate to deliver aesthetic beauty, structural durability, and reduced maintenance costs.
Commercial Roof Sealing
Our roof sealing service extends the life of your existing roof with a liquid-applied protective coating that prevents leaks and enhances reflectivity. Using acrylic, silicone, or polyurethane coatings, we form a seamless waterproof membrane that protects against UV rays, ponding water, and thermal stress—without disrupting operations.
Commercial Reflective Roofing Installation
Lower your building’s cooling costs with our cool roof systems, which reflect up to 80–90% of sunlight and reduce roof surface temperatures by as much as 50°F. We install white membranes, reflective coatings, and cool-colored shingles to boost energy efficiency and improve interior comfort year-round.
Commercial Roof Inspection & Assessment
Our comprehensive roof inspections identify issues early through a 9-step evaluation process, including drainage checks, flashing analysis, and optional thermal imaging. You’ll receive a detailed report with actionable recommendations to prevent costly repairs and extend your roof’s lifespan.
Commercial Roof Maintenance
We offer commercial roof maintenance that prevents leaks, extends system lifespan, and optimizes performance through scheduled inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofs can last 40–60 years and reflect up to 70% of solar heat, making them one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable commercial options available. They offer superior wind resistance of up to 140 mph, and a sleek, modern appearance for commercial buildings.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing Systems
Flat and low-slope roofs are engineered for efficient drainage and waterproof performance, reducing the risk of leaks and ponding. We build flat and low-slope roofs with high-R-value insulation and seamless membranes with year-round energy efficiency.
What Commercial Roofing Issues Do We Fix?
Ponding Water
Ponding water occurs when improper drainage or uneven insulation causes water to collect on flat or low-slope roofs, accelerating membrane deterioration and leaks. We correct this by regrading the surface with tapered insulation, clearing drains, and applying waterproof coatings to restore proper runoff and prevent future pooling.
Flashing Failure
Failed flashing around vents, HVAC units, or edges often leads to water infiltration and interior leaks. We remove deteriorated flashing, reseal or replace with high-grade metal or TPO-compatible materials, and reinforce seams to ensure long-term waterproof protection.
Damaged Roofing Membrane
Roof membranes can crack, blister, or puncture over time due to UV exposure, foot traffic, or temperature fluctuations. Our team performs precision patching, seam resealing, and infrared moisture scanning to identify weak spots and restore a watertight barrier without needing full replacement.
Storm or Tree Impact Damage
High winds, falling branches, or debris from severe storms can cause punctures, torn membranes, and structural roof damage. Our specialists conduct emergency inspections, remove debris, reinforce affected sections, and perform full membrane restoration or panel replacement to return your roof to like-new condition.
How Much Does Commercial Roof Replacement Cost?
The cost of repairing a commercial flat roof in Huntington Beach is from $6 to $18 per square foot, depending on the roofing system, building size, and complexity. TPO, EPDM, and PVC roofs cost an average of $7–$15 per square foot, while Built-Up (BUR), Modified Bitumen, and Metal systems can reach $16–$22 per square foot for premium materials and multilayer protection. In an average commercial roof replacement project, materials account for 40–50% of total costs, while labor makes up 30–40%. Factors like roof access, tear-off needs, and local regulations affect pricing.

How Long Does a Commercial Roof Replacement Take?
An average roof replacement project typically takes from five days to four weeks, depending on the roof size, material, and project complexity. Single-ply systems like TPO, PVC, and EPDM install faster—often within one to two weeks. Multi-layer systems, such as BUR, modified bitumen, or metal roofing, may take longer because of the complexity of the installation.
Typical Roof Replacement Timeline
Our 5-Step Roof Replacement Process
Step 1: Detailed Professional Roof Inspection
We'll start with a thorough roof inspection conducted by our certified roofing specialists. We carefully assess your roof’s condition, identifying damage from weather, aging, or structural issues that may impact your home’s safety. During this visit, we document all findings with photos and detailed notes to ensure complete transparency. This step typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on roof size and complexity. At this stage, we'll determine whether you need a full roof replacement or just targeted repairs.
Step 2: Insurance Claims Submission and Approval
If your roof damage is storm- or accident-related, we guide you through the insurance claim process from start to finish. Our team works directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure all necessary documentation, photos, and estimates are properly submitted for approval. We help you understand your coverage, deductible, and any out-of-pocket costs before work begins. This step can take a few days to a few weeks, depending on your insurance provider’s response time.
Step 3: Choosing Your New Roof
Once your claim is approved, we help you select the best roofing materials and styles to match your home’s look, budget, and performance needs. Options include asphalt shingles, tile, metal, and energy-efficient roofing systems, all sourced from trusted manufacturers. Our roofing professional will discuss with you the pros and cons of each type and its expected lifespan.
Step 4: Old Roof Removal & New Roof Installation
Our skilled installation crew begins by safely removing your old roof and inspecting the underlying decking for any hidden damage. We then install your new roofing system using industry-leading techniques and materials, which could take from a few days to weeks, depending on roof size, weather, and material type.
Step 5: Final Roof Inspection and Warranty Walk-Through
After installation, our project manager conducts a final inspection to verify that every detail meets Huntington Beach Elite Roofing’s quality standards. We review the completed work with you, explain your manufacturer and workmanship warranties, and answer any maintenance questions you may have. This ensures you’re fully satisfied and confident in your new roof’s performance.
