Call us and tell us where the water is showing up. We will get a crew on the roof to stop the leak and protect the space below.

How can we help with your roof?
Something looks wrong and you want it checked before it gets worse
We walk the roof, photograph what we find and give you a written scope with repair options before any work starts.
Overview
Identify the installed assembly
The membrane name alone does not determine whether a repair will hold. We identify the installed sheet, seam method, cover board, insulation, attachment and perimeter details, then connect those components to the observed condition. Rochester's manufacturing and industrial uses make system records useful across varied properties, but the roof at each address still needs direct confirmation.
Our TPO, PVC, EPDM and modified bitumen pages explain how their seams and repairs differ. We also work with metal, built-up, foam and coating assemblies where conditions support that approach.
Roof Systems
TPO Roofing
Roof System
Repair, replace and maintain commercial TPO roofs in Rochester, MN. We inspect welded seams, flashings, drainage and insulation before setting scope.
PVC Roofing
Roof System
Inspect and repair commercial PVC roofing in Rochester, MN. We assess welded seams, chemical exposure, flashing transitions and drainage before setting scope.
EPDM Roofing
Roof System
Maintain and repair EPDM roofs in Rochester, MN. We inspect field seams, adhesives, flashings, drainage and underlying layers before recommending work.
KEE Roofing
Roof System
Inspect and maintain KEE commercial roofing in Rochester, MN. We verify the membrane, seams, details and exposure before selecting repair materials.
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Roof System
Repair and replace modified bitumen roofs in Rochester, MN. We assess plies, surfacing, flashings, drainage and moisture before setting the repair boundary.
Built-Up Roofing
Roof System
Inspect and repair built-up roofs in Rochester, MN. We document plies, surfacing, drainage, flashing and moisture before comparing repair and replacement.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Roof System
Inspect and repair standing seam metal roofs in Rochester, MN. We check panels, clips, seams, penetrations and drainage before defining the work.
Metal Roof Retrofit
Roof System
Evaluate commercial metal roof retrofits in Rochester, MN. We review existing panels, structure, drainage, insulation and new-system attachment before scope.
Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing
Roof System
Inspect and restore spray polyurethane foam roofs in Rochester, MN. We check foam, protective coating, drainage and penetrations before defining repairs.
Silicone Roof Coatings
Roof System
Assess silicone roof coating restoration in Rochester, MN. We check adhesion, moisture, seams, penetrations and drainage before recommending application.
Acrylic Roof Coatings
Roof System
Evaluate acrylic roof coating restoration in Rochester, MN. We inspect surface condition, seams, moisture and drainage before setting application scope.
Identify: confirm material and repair history
A field label may be missing or a patch may cover the original sheet. We compare visible surfaces, seam construction and records before choosing compatible materials. Test cuts can clarify concealed layers when that answer changes scope. A property in the Golden Hill industrial area or the Rochester Technology Campus receives an address-specific survey; land-use designation does not establish a particular roof type.
Membranes: evaluate seams, flashings and movement
Single-ply systems rely on continuous field sheets and durable detail work at drains, curbs and edges. We inspect seam laps, termination bars and patches for separation, then check whether nearby insulation remains serviceable. KEE and built-up roofing have different material sequences and repair methods, so a scope describes the assembly actually present instead of treating every low-slope roof alike.
Metal and coatings: inspect the substrate first
Metal panels move at laps and fasteners; coatings depend on a sound, prepared substrate and compatible detail treatment. We check corrosion, seams, attachment, wet areas and existing coating condition before recommending restoration. A coating is not a way to hide unresolved moisture. Where a test or repair is needed, the work plan states preparation, reinforcement, flashing and cure conditions for the actual surface.
Climate: plan for Rochester winter exposure
Seasonal snow in Rochester averages 46.3 inches across the winter record. We plan drain, overflow and edge reviews while conditions allow, then use the roof inspection rather than climate averages to diagnose a property. The standing-seam metal and silicone coating choices still depend on assembly, drainage, movement and the owner's objective. We record the observed condition before comparing repair, recovery or replacement.
Selection: match the repair to the full assembly
A useful system recommendation states material, attachment, substrate evidence, transition details and unresolved tests. Owners can compare a local repair with a coating or new assembly using measured area, preparation, access and expected work sequence. We do not select by a product label alone. Send the property address and any prior roof documentation so we can confirm what is installed and return a scope tied to the tested area.

Roof Systems: Common Questions
Can two roofs with the same membrane use different repair details?
Yes. Attachment, cover board, seams, substrate and prior repairs affect compatibility. We inspect the installed layers and identify the detail before setting the boundary.
When should a coating be considered?
The substrate must be suitable, dry enough for the product and prepared as specified. We test or inspect the existing assembly first and keep moisture correction separate from coating work.
Does Rochester snow determine the roof system?
No. Rochester's normal seasonal total is 46.3 inches, which informs seasonal inspection timing. System selection depends on the building, assembly, drainage and applicable design requirements.
Can you repair an older roof without knowing its original product?
We identify visible materials and review records, then test where hidden layers matter. The scope states what is confirmed and where material compatibility remains an open item.
