Commercial Re-Roofing in Bonita Springs, FL
Commercial buildings requiring roof system renewal face critical decisions between complete tear-off replacement, roof recover systems, or restoration coatings based on existing conditions, substrate integrity, and building load capacity. Choosing the wrong approach wastes money on temporary fixes or creates future problems through improper layering and moisture entrapment. Bonita Springs Superior Roofing delivers strategic commercial re-roofing solutions using TPO membranes, EPDM systems, PVC single-ply, modified bitumen, spray polyurethane foam (SPF), and silicone roof coatings engineered to address specific failure patterns while meeting Florida Building Code requirements and wind uplift ratings.
Our evaluation process includes core sampling to assess layers and moisture content, deck inspections for structural soundness, insulation analysis for saturation, and fastener pull tests to determine attachment integrity before recommending tear-off or recover approaches. We utilize tapered insulation systems to improve drainage, fleece-backed membranes for enhanced puncture resistance, induction welding for watertight seams, and proper flashing retrofits at parapet walls and penetrations. Each project receives customized specifications addressing thermal performance upgrades, warranty compliance, phased scheduling to maintain operations, and permit coordination. You gain extended roof lifespan, eliminated leak problems, improved energy efficiency, code-compliant systems, and protection of business assets through properly engineered re-roofing that solves underlying issues rather than concealing them.
Our Commercial Re-Roofing Solutions
We provide complete commercial re-roofing services designed to restore your building's protection and extend its lifespan. Our team combines thorough inspection methods with strategic planning and hands-on management to deliver results that meet your specific requirements.
Comprehensive Roof Assessment
Our commercial roofing specialists begin every project with a detailed roof inspection to determine the exact condition of your existing system. We examine the structural deck, insulation layers, drainage components, and membrane or surface materials to identify damage, deterioration, and potential weak points.
During the assessment, we document all findings with photographs and measurements to create a complete picture of your roof's health. This evaluation tells us whether a commercial re-roof is the most appropriate solution or if a full replacement is necessary.
We check for common issues including ponding water, membrane cracks, fastener failures, and compromised flashing. Our inspections also assess the building's load capacity and code compliance requirements to ensure any new roofing system will meet current standards.
Customized Re-Roofing

Types of Commercial Systems We Re-Roof
We specialize in re-roofing three main commercial roofing systems that are common throughout Bonita Springs and Southwest Florida. Each system offers distinct advantages for different building types and budget requirements.
01
Single-Ply Membrane Roofing
We frequently work with TPO and EPDM single-ply membranes for commercial re-roofing projects. TPO roofing provides excellent heat reflection and energy efficiency, making it ideal for Florida's climate. The white surface reflects UV rays and helps reduce cooling costs.
EPDM is a black rubber membrane known for durability and weather resistance. We install both mechanically attached and fully adhered systems depending on your building's needs. These membranes typically last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance.
Single-ply systems work well for flat and low-slope commercial buildings. We can often install them directly over existing roofing materials if the substrate is structurally sound. This approach reduces tear-off costs and project duration.
02
Modified Bitumen Roofing
Modified bitumen systems combine traditional built-up roofing with modern polymer technology. We install both APP (torch-applied) and SBS (cold-applied) modified bitumen depending on safety requirements and building specifications.
These roofing systems feature multiple layers that create a redundant waterproofing barrier. The top surface often includes granules that protect against UV damage and weathering. Modified bitumen performs well in high-traffic areas where maintenance crews need roof access.
We apply these systems using torch welding or cold adhesives. The multi-ply construction provides excellent puncture resistance and can last 15 to 20 years. This option works particularly well for warehouses and industrial facilities.
03
Metal Roofing Systems
We re-roof commercial properties with standing seam metal panels and corrugated metal systems. Standing seam roofs feature concealed fasteners that prevent water infiltration and allow for thermal expansion. Metal roofing systems offer longevity that can exceed 40 years.
These roofs resist fire, wind, and impact damage better than most alternatives. We work with steel, aluminum, and coated metal options in various colors and finishes. Metal reflects solar heat effectively, which reduces energy consumption.
The lightweight nature of metal roofing makes it suitable for buildings with limited structural capacity. We can often install metal panels over existing commercial roofing without additional structural reinforcement.

FAQs About Commercial Re-Roofing
Re-roofing installs a new roofing system directly over the existing roof without removing old materials, while roof replacement involves complete tear-off, substrate inspection, and installation on bare decking. Bonita Springs Superior Roofing performs re-roofing when existing membranes are structurally sound but approaching end of service life, whereas replacement addresses deteriorated substrates, saturated insulation, or code compliance issues. Re-roofing is faster and less expensive but adds weight and conceals underlying problems that replacement reveals and corrects.
Commercial re-roofing in Southwest Florida typically costs $3-$8 per square foot, representing 30-50% savings compared to complete tear-off replacement. Bonita Springs Superior Roofing provides pricing based on new membrane selection (TPO, EPDM, PVC), substrate preparation requirements, flashing modifications, and existing roof condition. Projects avoid disposal fees, reduce labor costs, and minimize business disruption, though additional layers increase structural load considerations and may require engineering evaluation for larger buildings.
Yes, we can install new roofing over existing systems if the substrate is structurally sound, insulation is dry, only one previous layer exists, and building codes permit overlay applications. Bonita Springs Superior Roofing conducts thorough inspections using moisture meters and core samples to verify substrate integrity before recommending re-roofing. Incompatible material combinations, extensive ponding water, failed fasteners, or wet insulation require complete tear-off rather than overlay to ensure proper performance and longevity.
Roof overlay is optimal when existing membranes show age-related weathering but substrates remain sound, budgets are constrained, and minimal business downtime is critical. Bonita Springs Superior Roofing recommends overlay for buildings with single existing roof layers, dry insulation confirmed through moisture testing, and structural capacity for additional weight. Overlay works best on newer buildings (under 20 years) with good drainage, no concealed damage, and when building codes permit second-layer applications in Lee County.
Re-roofing benefits include 30-50% cost savings, reduced project duration (often 40% faster), minimal business disruption, no disposal fees, and additional insulation layers improving energy efficiency. Drawbacks include concealed moisture or substrate damage, increased structural load, potential code violations if adding third layers, shorter warranty periods, and inability to upgrade ventilation or drainage systems. Bonita Springs Superior Roofing performs comprehensive assessments including moisture detection and core sampling to determine if re-roofing advantages outweigh replacement benefits for your specific building.
