Let’s take a look at some of the most popular commercial roofing choices in Jacksonville, FL:
Single-Ply Membrane Roofing
Single-Ply Membranes are synthetic, polymer-based roofing materials that provide a single layer of roof protection for your commercial building. Vital for insulation and waterproofing, they can last over 30 years if properly maintained. There are 3 main types of single-ply membrane roofs:
- PVC Roofs (Poly Vinyl Chloride)
- TPO Roofs (Thermo Plastic Polyolefin)
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
Commercial Metal Roofs
Metal has quickly become the standard roofing material for commercial buildings. It’s for good reason – metal is one of the most durable roofing materials to install, however, the initial investment is much higher upfront than other commercial roof solutions. The initial cost weighs up nicely against its longevity and ease of maintenance though.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Built-Up Roofing is an older form of commercial roofing, particularly on low-slope roofs. Often referred to as “tar and gravel” roofs, they are made of layers of bitumen, ply sheets and surfacing material. BURs are better suited to warmer climates and tend to last longer there. It’s a great option in terms of waterproofing and maintenance, but installation does involve a number of hazardous fumes.
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen is a popular roofing material installed on commercial buildings, particularly those with low-slope or flat roofing systems. Made from asphalt, the standard modified bitumen system is a two-ply system installed in rolls. It is easy to repair and maintain, and many experts rate its tear-resistance as one of modified bitumen’s strongest features against commercial roofing alternatives.

Speak to Elo Roofing about our commercial roof maintenance plans to safeguard your business against any roofing mishaps throughout the year.
Roof Coatings
A popular feature of commercial roofs, roof coating is valuable for its ability to extend the life of a roof by adding a layer of protection against light, water and other elements. It is also a great temporary, less expensive workaround for a roof replacement. Elo Roofing is the expert roof coaters in Jacksonville so you can trust us to add a good few years onto your existing commercial roof.
FAQs
How long should a commercial roof last?
Two factors will determine the lifespan of a commercial roof: the type of material and whether or not it is regularly maintained. A commercial roof can generally last anything between 20 and 45 years, with the longest lifespan achieved from metal, then asphalt. Single-ply membrane materials tend to yield shorter lifespans, say up to 30 years. Remember, regular maintenance and additional roof coating can add a good couple years onto the life of your commercial roof.
What is the best material to cover a flat roof?
PVC is largely considered the best material for flat roofing amongst roof specialists. They are particularly strong and durable and therefore enjoy a lifespan of up to 30 years with regular maintenance. Other great options for flat roofs include metal (the priciest option), TPO and modified bitumen. As with anything, the best option will be determined by your specific need, preference and budget.
How much does a commercial roof cost?
This will vary according to the material used, but you can work on around $1.50 – $10.00 per square foot. Keep in mind that asphalt will be the on the lower end of this range, single ply membranes in the mid-range and metal and on the higher-end.
