A commercial roof is a business problem before it is a building problem. Water coming through a ceiling means product moved, a section roped off, tenants calling, or a day of trading lost. The roof itself is rarely the expensive part.
Roof It Right works on flat and low slope commercial roofs across Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. Repairs, replacement, coatings and maintenance, on churches, schools, offices, retail and light industrial buildings. Owner James Guindon has over 30 years in the trade and is on the job himself.
We are straight about scope. There are commercial systems we do not install, and we will say so rather than take the work and learn on your building. If your roof needs something outside what we do, we will tell you that on the first visit.
Flat roofs fail differently to pitched ones. The water does not run off, it sits and waits for a weak point.
Water standing days after it rained means the slope or the drains are not doing their job. Ponding is where flat roofs age fastest and where most failures eventually start.
Gravel, debris and windblown rubbish collect at the drains and scuppers. A roof designed to clear water in an hour can hold it for a week once the outlets are choked.
Thirty years of desert sun and daily thermal movement work on every joint in the surface. Seams are where a flat roof is joined and therefore where it comes apart.
Parapets, roof hatches, skylights and the curbs under rooftop units are the busiest details on the roof and the most common leak source. Water rarely enters through open field.
HVAC units get serviced, and service means foot traffic, dropped tools and refrigerant lines dragged across the surface. Leaks near mechanical equipment are usually made, not weathered.
Blistering, cracking, chalking and a coating that has given up. On a commercial roof in this climate the surface is the sacrificial layer and it does not last forever.
We find where the water is actually entering, which on a flat roof is often nowhere near where it shows up inside. Everything we flag gets photographed.
You get the honest comparison. A repair that buys years, a coating that resurfaces a sound roof, or a replacement where the roof has genuinely run out.
Churches have Sundays, schools have term time, retail has trading hours. We work out the timing before the quote, not after the crew arrives.
Site cleaned daily rather than left until the end, and we walk the finished roof with whoever is responsible for the building.

What we do not do. We do not install or replace TPO, EPDM, or metal roofs. Metal is repair only. We would rather tell you that up front than take on a system we are not the right contractor for, and if that is what your building needs we will say so on the first visit.
The owner is on your roof. James Guindon has over 30 years in the trade and runs the job himself. On a commercial building that means the person deciding what the roof needs is the person who looked at it.
We are honest about scope. There are commercial systems we do not install, and we say so rather than taking work we are not the right contractor for. That is a short list and it is on this page.

Repair before replacement. A flat roof that is sound underneath often needs a coating or a targeted repair, not a tear off. We will price the options side by side rather than only quoting the biggest one.
We work around your operating hours. Churches, schools, offices and retail all have times when a crew on the roof is a problem. That gets sorted before the quote.
Flat and low slope roofs. Repairs, replacement, coatings, maintenance and inspections, plus metal roof repair. We do not install or replace TPO, EPDM or metal roofing systems. If your building needs one of those, we will tell you on the first visit rather than after you have signed something.
It depends on what is underneath. A coating resurfaces a roof whose structure and substrate are still sound, and it can add years for a fraction of a replacement. It is not a fix for a roof that is saturated, has failing decking, or is holding water it cannot drain. Putting a coating over a roof that needed replacing just hides the problem for a season. We will tell you which one you are looking at.
Water travels. On a flat roof it can enter at a seam or a curb and run along the deck or the insulation for a considerable distance before it finds a path through the ceiling. Patching directly above the stain is the most common reason a commercial leak comes back. Finding the actual entry point is most of the work.
Yes, and it is the cheapest roofing you will ever buy. Most commercial roof failures start as something small that nobody was looking for, a blocked drain or a lifted seam. Scheduled maintenance catches those while they are still a repair rather than a claim.
Yes. Churches, schools, offices and retail all have hours when a crew on the roof is a problem, and that gets worked out before the quote rather than negotiated once the crew is on site. Tell us when the building needs to be usable and we will build the schedule around it.
