Commercial roofing in Regina

Commercial roofing in Regina for flat and low-slope roofs

Shops, warehouses and apartment buildings need roofs that handle snow load, freeze and thaw and summer storms.

  • Flat and low-slope roof repair and replacement
  • Drainage, seams and flashing checked together
  • Planning that keeps your business running

Step 1 of 3

What do you need?

What does commercial roofing in Regina cover?

Commercial roofing means work on roofs of businesses, warehouses, strip malls, offices and multi-unit residential buildings. Most of these are flat or low-slope, which behave very differently from the pitched shingle roofs on houses.

Common flat roof systems include modified bitumen, built-up roofs, and single-ply membranes such as TPO or EPDM. Each has its own strengths, seam details and repair methods. The right choice depends on the building, the roof deck, the budget and how the roof is used, for example whether staff walk on it to service rooftop units.

Typical work

  • Leak tracing and seam repair.
  • Patching punctures and flashing details.
  • Replacing sections or the whole membrane.
  • Fixing drains, scuppers and rooftop penetrations.

For a house roof instead, see our roof replacement page.

What problems do flat roofs have on the prairies?

Flat roofs do not shed water and snow the way a pitched roof does, so small problems can grow quickly.

  • Ponding water. Low spots hold water, which strains the membrane and finds weak seams.
  • Freeze and thaw. Water gets into small cracks, freezes and widens them, repeating through the winter.
  • Snow load. Heavy or drifted snow adds weight, especially near parapets and rooftop units.
  • Blocked drains. Ice and debris stop water leaving the roof.
  • Seam and flashing failure. Movement from temperature swings pulls details apart.
  • Wind and hail. Open, exposed buildings take the full force of prairie storms.

After a major storm, see our storm and hail damage page. Regular checks before winter and after spring thaw catch many issues early.

Should you repair, restore or replace a commercial roof?

The answer depends on the age of the roof, how much of it is wet and whether the problem is local. A roof with a few leaks and a sound membrane is often a repair job. A roof with wet insulation across large areas, widespread seam failure or repeated leaks is usually heading toward replacement.

A restoration or recover can be an option for some roofs, but only if the insulation underneath is dry and the deck is sound. A moisture survey or detailed inspection can show the condition before you decide. Our roof inspection service can give you a written report to work from.

We will explain the options plainly, including the cost of doing nothing. Building owners often prefer a repair plan over several years rather than one expensive surprise.

Commercial quotes depend on the building more than any other factor. The main points are below.

  • Roof area and shape, including parapets and rooftop equipment.
  • The system chosen and its thickness and quality.
  • Condition of the insulation and deck underneath.
  • Number of drains, vents, curbs and other penetrations.
  • Access, including crane or hoist needs and working near tenants.
  • Schedule limits, such as work in set hours or around business operations.
  • Building code, insulation and energy requirements.

We provide written quotes in CAD with the scope and any exclusions listed. If your building has an existing roof warranty, tell us before work begins, because incorrect repairs can affect it.

How long does it take, and when should you call?

A small repair may take a day, while a full replacement on a large building can take weeks, depending on size, weather and how the work is phased. Flat roof work needs dry conditions, and cold snaps limit what materials can be installed.

What to expect

  • A site visit to measure the roof and check drainage and access.
  • A written scope and schedule before work begins.
  • Safety setup around walkways, doors and parking.
  • Notice to tenants if noise or access will be affected.

Call when you see ceiling stains, ponding after rain, bubbles or splits in the membrane, or when a roof is aging and you want a plan. Planning ahead lets you budget and schedule in good weather. Start from our Regina roofing home page or send the quote form with the building type and address.

Questions about roofing in Regina

What types of commercial roofs do you work on?

We work on flat and low-slope roofs on businesses and multi-unit buildings. Common systems include modified bitumen, built-up roofs and single-ply membranes. If you are not sure what you have, send photos or ask us to look at it. Knowing the system helps decide whether repair, restoration or replacement makes sense.

How often should a commercial roof be inspected?

A common rule is at least once a year, with another check after major storms. Many owners choose spring, after the thaw, and fall, before snow arrives. Regular checks find small leaks, blocked drains and seam problems before they spread into insulation and the building below.

Can you work without disrupting my business?

Often we can plan around your operations, for example by working in sections or at set hours, though noise and access limits cannot always be avoided. Tell us about tenants, customer entrances and deliveries during the site visit, and we will build that into the written scope.

Why does my flat roof leak after rain or thaw?

Common causes are ponding water, cracked seams, failed flashing and blocked drains. On the prairies, freeze and thaw cycles make small cracks bigger each winter. The leak point inside is often far from the opening on the roof, so tracing it takes careful inspection rather than guesswork.

Do I need a permit for a commercial roof job?

Often yes for larger work, particularly where structure, insulation or code upgrades are involved. Rules vary by project, so confirm with the City of Regina and your contractor before work begins. Ask for the answer in writing and check whether your roof warranty or insurer has requirements too.
