Auto Dealers & Repair Shops: Flat Roof Repair & Replacement
Auto businesses around Pittsburgh line the commercial corridors: Route 22 through Monroeville and Murrysville, Route 30 in North Huntingdon and Greensburg, Route 19, McKnight Road and the Parkway exits. Their roofs work hard. Service bays have exhaust fans, paint booths have stacks that can put overspray and solvents on the roof, and showrooms have big glass walls where roof edges and flashings need to stay tight. Body shops and repair garages are often older block buildings with layered flat roofs and metal additions. We repair around the bays without stopping work, and pick membranes that can handle what the exhaust puts on them.
What matters on these roofs
Paint booth and bay exhaust
Overspray and solvents from paint booth stacks can stick to and attack some membranes. The area around the stack gets the right material.
Older block shops
Repair garages and body shops are often older block buildings with layered roofs and add-on metal sections that leak at the joints.
Showroom edges
Big glass and long roof edges over the showroom need tight edge metal and flashings so water doesn't run down the glass.
Bays stay open
Work is planned around service hours so lifts and bays keep running.
