Commercial Roofing Solutions for Business Properties
When your commercial property needs roofing services, you need a contractor who understands the unique demands of business facilities. At Royal Bear Roofing, we specialize in commercial roofing systems that protect your investment while minimizing disruption to your operations. Our expertise extends across various commercial roof types, from flat membrane systems to modified bitumen and metal roofing solutions. We understand that commercial properties require specialized attention to drainage systems, HVAC integration, and compliance with local building codes specific to Kirkland, Juanita, Redmond, Bellevue, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, & Seattle WA.
Commercial roofing presents distinct challenges compared to residential projects. The scale alone requires different equipment, larger crews, and coordinated logistics to ensure efficient completion. We’re equipped to handle projects ranging from small retail spaces to expansive warehouse facilities, bringing the same commitment to quality that has made us a trusted name throughout the Greater Seattle area. As a licensed, insured, and GAF-certified roofing contractor, we maintain the highest industry standards while delivering solutions tailored to each business’s specific needs.
Types of Commercial Roofing Systems We Install
Our commercial roofing services encompass multiple system types, each suited to different building requirements and budget considerations. TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing has become increasingly popular due to its energy efficiency and durability, reflecting heat to reduce cooling costs during summer months. These white membrane systems can lower roof surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees compared to traditional black roofing, translating to significant energy savings over the system’s lifespan.
Modified bitumen systems provide multiple layers of protection, combining traditional roofing reliability with modern polymer technology. These systems work particularly well for buildings with moderate foot traffic on the roof, such as those requiring regular HVAC maintenance access. Metal roofing systems, including standing seam and corrugated panels, deliver exceptional longevity with minimal maintenance requirements. We also install built-up roofing (BUR) systems, which create multiple waterproof layers ideal for flat or low-slope commercial structures. Each system we install comes with comprehensive warranties, including our 15-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer product warranties extending up to 50 years.
Our Commercial Roofing Process
Every commercial roofing project begins with a thorough inspection and assessment of your existing roof system. We examine not just the visible surface but also the underlying deck, insulation, and drainage components. Our detailed evaluation includes infrared scanning when necessary to detect hidden moisture infiltration that could compromise your new roofing system. Following the inspection, we provide a comprehensive report outlining findings, recommended solutions, and transparent pricing for all necessary work.
Project planning involves coordinating with your business operations to minimize disruption. We develop staging areas for materials and equipment that maintain safe access for employees and customers. Our crews work efficiently to complete sections systematically, ensuring weather protection throughout the installation process. We handle both standard and complex projects, including integration with existing rooftop equipment, skylights, and specialized ventilation systems. Communication remains a priority throughout the project, with regular updates on progress and any unexpected conditions discovered during installation.

Maintenance and Emergency Services
Commercial roof maintenance represents a critical investment in your property’s longevity. Regular inspections allow us to identify potential problems like ponding water, membrane degradation, or flashing failures before they cause interior damage. We recommend bi-annual inspections, typically in spring and fall, to assess winter weather impact and prepare for seasonal changes. Our maintenance programs include clearing drains and gutters, resealing penetrations, and addressing minor repairs immediately to prevent escalation.
When storm damage or unexpected leaks occur, our emergency response team provides rapid assistance to protect your business assets. We understand that roofing emergencies can halt operations and damage inventory or equipment. Our fast, clean, high-quality work extends to emergency repairs, where we prioritize immediate weather protection followed by permanent solutions. We maintain relationships with insurance companies to streamline claim processes, documenting damage thoroughly and providing detailed repair estimates that facilitate prompt claim resolution. We serve business owners with integrity and transparency, treating every commercial roof like it’s protecting our own business operations.
