TPO roofing works well for most commercial buildings in Mecox. It reflects heat, resists punctures, and handles temperature changes without cracking. Perfect for our Long Island climate.
EPDM rubber roofing excels on residential flat roofs. It’s flexible, durable, and cost-effective for smaller applications. Many Mecox homeowners choose EPDM for additions and garage roofs.
Modified bitumen provides excellent waterproofing for buildings that need extra protection. We recommend it for properties with heavy foot traffic or equipment on the roof.
Our flat roof coatings extend the life of existing systems. They’re especially useful for buildings in Mecox where salt air can accelerate wear on roofing materials.
A properly installed flat roof typically lasts 15-25 years in Mecox, depending on the material and maintenance. TPO systems often reach the higher end of this range because they resist UV damage and thermal cycling.
EPDM rubber roofs usually last 15-20 years with proper care. Modified bitumen systems can last 20+ years when installed correctly and maintained regularly.
The key is professional installation and annual inspections. Salt air and coastal storms are tough on roofing materials, but quality systems handle these conditions well when installed by experienced contractors.
TPO roofing is usually the best choice for commercial buildings in Mecox. It offers excellent energy efficiency, strong wind resistance, and proven durability in coastal environments.
TPO membranes reflect sunlight, which reduces cooling costs during hot summers. They also resist punctures and tears better than many other single-ply systems.
For buildings with heavy equipment or frequent roof access, we might recommend modified bitumen instead. It handles foot traffic better and provides superior waterproofing for complex roof layouts.
Simple flat roof repairs in Mecox typically cost $300-800, depending on the size and complexity of the problem. Small leaks or membrane patches fall into this range.
Larger repairs involving multiple areas or structural issues can cost $1,000-3,000. This includes situations where water damage has affected the roof deck or insulation.
Complete flat roof replacement ranges from $8-15 per square foot, depending on the material and building complexity. We always provide detailed estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Sometimes we can install new flat roofing over existing systems, but it depends on the condition of your current roof and local building codes in Suffolk County.
If your existing roof has only one layer and the deck is structurally sound, a roof-over installation might be possible. This can save money on tear-off and disposal costs.
However, we often recommend complete removal for better results. Starting with a clean deck lets us address any underlying problems and ensures your new roof performs as designed. We’ll inspect your current roof and explain your options.
Call for emergency repair if water is actively entering your building, especially if it’s affecting electrical systems or business operations. Don’t wait – water damage gets expensive quickly.
Large areas of ponding water that don’t drain within 48 hours after rain also need immediate attention. Standing water will eventually find its way through even small membrane defects.
If you see significant bubbling or separation in the roofing membrane, that’s another sign to call right away. These conditions usually get worse during the next storm.
Inspect your flat roof twice yearly – spring and fall are ideal times. Look for debris accumulation, clogged drains, and any obvious membrane damage from winter storms.
Clear all drains and gutters regularly. Mecox’s coastal location means you’ll get leaves, salt residue, and storm debris that can block drainage systems.
Schedule professional inspections every 2-3 years, or after major storms. We can spot developing problems that aren’t obvious from ground level and address them before they become expensive repairs.
