Your building isn't a house. Your roof can't fail during business hours. And you don't have time to babysit a contractor who ghosts you after the deposit clears.
K&D Roofing is a licensed General Contractor (NC #84720), not just a residential roofer dabbling in commercial. We've installed and repaired commercial roofs across the Triangle since 2017—retail centers, office buildings, warehouses, churches, multi-family complexes.
We know commercial roofing codes. We pull permits. We carry full commercial liability insurance. And we show up when we say we will—because we know your business depends on it.
If your commercial roof is leaking, aging out, or failing inspections, let's fix it before it costs you tenants, inventory, or a code violation.
Commercial Roofing Systems We Install
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
The most popular flat/low-slope commercial roof—and for good reason.
TPO is durable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. It reflects UV rays (lower cooling costs), resists punctures and tears, and holds up to decades of North Carolina sun, rain, and storms.
Why TPO from K&D:
- ✓Heat-welded seams (not glued—far stronger and longer-lasting)
- ✓White or tan membrane (reduces heat absorption by 30–40%)
- ✓15–25 year lifespan with proper maintenance
- ✓Lightweight (ideal for retrofits and re-roofs over existing structure)
Typical install time: 3–7 days
EPDM (Rubber Roofing)
Proven, durable, cost-effective.
EPDM has been the workhorse of flat commercial roofing for 50+ years. It's extremely durable, handles temperature swings without cracking, and costs less upfront than TPO or PVC.
Best for:
- ✓Warehouses, storage facilities
- ✓Budget-conscious projects
- ✓Buildings with minimal foot traffic on the roof
Lifespan: 20–30 years with proper maintenance
Metal Standing Seam (Commercial)
The premium choice for longevity and performance.
Standing seam metal roofs last 50+ years. They don't rot, leak at the seams (concealed fasteners), or require constant maintenance. They're ideal for office buildings, retail centers, and any structure where you want to install it once and forget about it for decades.
Benefits:
- ✓50+ year lifespan (often longer)
- ✓Minimal maintenance (no re-coating, no patching)
- ✓Energy-efficient (cool roof certified)
- ✓Clean, modern aesthetic
Shingle Roofing (Commercial)
For pitched commercial roofs—churches, offices, multi-family.
Not all commercial buildings have flat roofs. For pitched roofs on offices, churches, townhomes, or mixed-use buildings, we install GAF commercial-grade shingles—the same quality we use on high-end residential projects.
Benefits:
- ✓Proven performance (warranties up to 30 years)
- ✓Fast installation (minimal business disruption)
- ✓Class A fire rating
- ✓Multiple colors and styles

Minimal Disruption to Your Business
We know you can't shut down for a week while we install a roof. That's why we:
- ✓Schedule around your hours (weekend or night work available for occupied buildings)
- ✓Protect inventory and equipment with tarps, barriers, and dust containment
- ✓Communicate constantly so your tenants/employees know what to expect
- ✓Work fast without cutting corners (most commercial projects done in 3–10 days)
Preventative Maintenance Plans
A $500 inspection can prevent a $50,000 roof failure.
Most commercial roofs fail because of deferred maintenance—not bad installation. Clogged drains, damaged flashing, loose seams, ponding water—small problems that turn into catastrophic leaks.
K&D offers commercial roof maintenance plans:
- ✓Bi-annual inspections (spring and fall)
- ✓Drain cleaning and debris removal
- ✓Flashing and seam inspection/repair
- ✓Detailed photo report with recommended repairs
- ✓Priority scheduling for storm damage
