Commercial Roofing
Services provided by Excel Roofing & Contracting
Some roofing companies are too small to handle the big commercial jobs. More materials, a bigger crew, and more complicated logistics are all a factor in commercial roofing. Add to that the requirements of commercial buildings that roofers have to be familiar with and choosing a contractor who can handle the job is imperative. We have a great relationship with the commercial hub of San Antonio and we want to keep it that way by proving to our business clients they can rely on us to do an impeccable job. We are adding to our commercial resume with every passing month. Here, we will give you an idea of the process that we follow as well as the kinds of steps we take to make sure that we are the perfect commercial roofing service for you to call upon. Businesses welcome!

Scope and Scale
Industrial Aesthetic
Our experience in doing commercial work means we know the different requirements for a industrial job. The roofing systems are completely different for industrial than they are for residential mainly due to the size of the roofs. This greatly affects the slope for watershed. In addition the aesthetic appeal for a retail business, for example, is part of their draw for customers. This has got to be a factor when choosing design, color, and materials of an industrial roof.
No Shingles
Shingles, while perfectly acceptable for home applications are wholly impractical for the larger roofs of our business clients, which require sheets of material. The sequence of industrial roof installation is determined by the materials chosen plus the slope. Everyone is familiar with the peak of a house held up by the bones of the trusses. Then the waterproof underlayment and outer roofing materials are installed. That’s not really the way industrial roofing works, though.
Slope and Watershed
The flat but slight slope for watershed and large square footage required for commercial roofs mean several layers of metal are laid down first. Then insulation and outer roofing materials are installed. Familiarity with working around external piping, smoke stacks, and air flow systems is mandatory on these jobs. The process of securing the industrial roof and tools required are quite different from that of residential as well. Our skilled roofing technicians have the experience and knowledge to avoid costly mistakes for you and us.
Industrial Roofing Experts
Often, commercial companies will get in touch with a contractor to complete their roofing jobs. This means that they are able to keep their money local, which is great. However, some companies, though they might take the job, are not able to meet the scope and the scale of some of the roofing contracts out there. This can be a real headache for businesses that don’t want to have to babysit smaller contractors when it comes to the work that they outsource. Metal Roofing San Antonio has the team, the tools, and the trade connections to get the job done.
A Growing Business
We realized a long time ago that a sure fire way of growing our business was to make sure that we have all of the local bases covered. We love working with residential clients because it deepens our engagement with the community that we exist to serve. However, there is a lot to be said for engaging with the commercial side of things as well. San Antonio has a vibrant economy and that is due to our business sector. We are fully committed to making sure that roofing needs are catered to for now and for the foreseeable future as well!
We Understand
Because we are a business as well, we have to outsource some of our work. This means that we deal with companies a lot and we know what we expect from them. If a contractor seems to be making life more difficult than it should be, we will take up the issue with them and because we have lived this experience, we know what to do when it is our turn to perform the outsourced work for other companies in the area. With us, you are guaranteed to get a good job without any extra hassle!
Popular Commercial Roofing Materials
A favorite of commercial endeavors is Zinc. It’s physical properties means it can be readily molded and engineered into remarkable shapes. It also can use the patina to close up scratches and maintain its durability. Zinc does chalk through the years, but cleaning and maintaining it help limit that.
Steel is used everywhere. In every type of building and material, you can find a steel component or option. It is very commonly used in commercial applications to the point that when we see it in residential home, we call it “industrial style”.
An alloy is made by combining two or more metals. Steel is the definition of that amalgam of iron plus other metals. The strength of iron plus the ability to take on the desirable characteristics of the other metals added to make the alloy make it the quintessential roofing material for a commercial metal roof.
Steel is easy to use and a less costly metal to obtain which makes it the primary choice for those large commercial roofs.
