expert flat roofing system leak detection and repairs and offer full system replacements for aging commercial and residential towers, ensuring long-term, reliable protection.
Torch-On for Commercial Blocks
For the commercial roofing system in Gastown and the durable needs of modern towers, a multi-ply torch-on system is often the best solution. We specialize in installing these tough, puncture-resistant roofs that can withstand heavy foot traffic and equipment.

skylights found in modern condos and office buildings, eliminating weak points in your roofing system.
Material Recommendations
We recommend high-performance flat roofing materials designed for the demands of a dense, urban environment.

Torch-On (SBS)
A highly durable, multi-layer bitumen membrane system designed specifically for the demands of commercial flat roofs. Its application results in a thick, seamless, and puncture-resistant surface.

Its multi-layer toughness makes it the ideal choice for high-traffic roofs with extensive HVAC and mechanical equipment.

These modern single-ply membranes are lightweight and durable, featuring strong, heat-welded (TPO) or sealed (EPDM) seams that are highly resistant to weathering.

They are an excellent choice for large, exposed commercial or residential roofs where a long-lasting, flexible, and reliable waterproof barrier is required.

This technology uses reflective materials, such as white membranes or advanced coatings, to reduce a building's heat absorption from the sun. This results in a cooler roof surface and a more energy-efficient building.
These white, reflective membranes are a smart, energy-efficient choice for large towers, helping to reduce cooling costs and combat the urban heat island effect.
Explore the specifications of these and other high-performance commercial roofing systems.
