Built Around Your Tenants, Not Against Them

Commercial roofing isn't just bigger residential. Different priorities — minimizing tenant downtime, getting permits and certificates of insurance handled before mobilization, working around retail hours, finishing on the timeline we quoted. We do retail strip centers, office buildings, mixed-use, and small industrial — not big-box mega-projects, but enough scale to handle 30,000 square feet and the paperwork that comes with it.

We're a family-owned NJ contractor headquartered in Fairview, with the same crew that does our residential work — scaled up for commercial scope, certified for flat-roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC), and set up to handle the property-manager paperwork that comes with multi-tenant buildings. If you specifically need flat-roof system work, we can drill into that path directly.

What Commercial Means Here

Tenant-Friendly Scheduling, PM-Friendly Paperwork

Commercial work has a different rhythm than residential. Permits, certificates of insurance, single project-manager point of contact, after-hours and weekend scheduling for occupied retail. We come in with all of it sorted before we mobilize, and we don't disrupt your tenants while we're there.

Commercial Roofing — How We Approach It

Four Things That Make Our Commercial Work Different

Most commercial roofers either cater to mega-projects (where every retail strip is a small fish) or they're residential outfits that occasionally take a commercial. We sit in the middle on purpose.

01 — The Commercial Scope

What We Handle On Commercial Properties

Commercial covers the whole roof system at commercial scale. Flat-roof membranes — TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up. Low-slope and standard-pitch shingle work on retail and mixed-use. Drains, scuppers, copings, parapet flashings, expansion joints, rooftop unit penetrations. Repairs from storm-damage insurance claims, full replacements when the membrane is past its service life, and annual maintenance contracts for properties with multiple buildings.

We don't do mega-warehouse single-ply tear-offs over 100,000 square feet — that's a different scale of crew and equipment. Anything from a rooftop repair on a strip center up through a 30 to 40 thousand SF replacement is solidly in our wheelhouse.

02 — Tenant Scheduling

We Work Around Your Tenants' Hours, Not Ours

Most commercial roofing happens during business hours, which means tenants spend the day listening to nail guns and breathing tar fumes. We don't run our schedule that way. Retail goes after closing. Restaurants go between brunch and dinner service or on Mondays. Office buildings go on weekends or holidays. Multi-tenant buildings get a phasing plan that keeps operations running. Yes, after-hours and weekend work costs more — and yes, we'll quote it both ways so you can decide. The premium is usually 15 to 25 percent. The math depends on the value of NOT having angry tenants emailing the property manager at 9 AM on Wednesday.

What We Won't Do

No Endless Project Creep

The biggest complaint about commercial roofers isn't quality — it's that the project takes three times as long as quoted. We're not interested in running open-ended commercial work. The proposal includes a phased timeline with end dates, daily progress photos go to the property manager, and if we hit a delay we tell you the same day with a written reason. Our average commercial completion runs within five percent of the original schedule.

We Hand Property Managers What They Actually Need

Property managers don't have time to chase contractors for paperwork. We hand over: certificate of insurance with the building owner and management company named as additional insureds, before mobilization. Permits pulled and posted. Single project-manager point of contact, with a direct cell number. Daily progress photos. Itemized punch list at completion. Final invoice with a reference number that matches your accounting system's PO format.

For multi-property portfolios, we run an annual maintenance contract with a single inspection report covering every building, billed quarterly. Standalone inspection contracts for due-diligence on acquisitions are also available — typically delivered in 5 business days.

04 — Commercial Warranty

How Commercial Warranties Stack

Commercial warranties are similar to residential but with one major difference — the membrane manufacturer warranties are stronger and longer when installed by a certified contractor, and they often include labor coverage for the first 5 to 10 years. We're certified for the major flat-roof systems (TPO, EPDM, PVC) and we register every new install in the building owner's name on completion day. Our workmanship warranty is 1 year on repairs and 2 years on full membrane replacements, transferable to a new owner if the building sells. The two warranties stack: a manufacturing defect in the membrane is on the manufacturer, an install error on a seam or termination is on us. We carry the COI to back up the workmanship warranty for the full term.

Why NJ Properties Hire Craftsman For Commercial

We Run The Commercial Side Like A Family Business — Because It Is One

Commercial work demands paperwork and schedule discipline that big-box outfits handle one way and residential outfits handle another. Here's how we do it.

  • One project manager from quote to closeout, with a direct cell number
  • Certificate of insurance with additional insureds named, before any mobilization
  • After-hours and weekend scheduling — quoted both ways so you can decide
  • Daily progress photos emailed to the property manager and building owner
  • Manufacturer-certified for TPO, EPDM, and PVC membrane systems
