Commercial Roofing Systems We Install

Commercial roofs in Ocala fall into two main categories: low-slope membrane systems and metal panel systems. Both are common across Marion County retail, industrial, and office properties. Thomas Roofing installs and replaces both.

We have replaced roofs on retail strip centers, warehouse buildings, small office parks, and mixed-use properties throughout Central Florida. Our state contractor license (CCC1330331) covers commercial roofing work.

Flat and Low-Slope Specifics

Flat roofs fail in Florida for specific reasons. Standing water, seam failures, and flashing failures around HVAC units account for most commercial roof problems in Ocala. We address all three during a commercial replacement.

We assess drainage before we specify a replacement system. A flat roof that drains poorly will fail faster regardless of membrane quality. We fix drainage problems as part of the scope when needed. That detail separates a lasting job from one that leaks in year three.

PACE financing covers commercial properties in many cases. Monthly payments as low as 00. No payments for the first 12 months. Ask us about your property's eligibility.

Keeping Your Business Open

Commercial roofing does not have to shut you down. We plan work around your operation. Here is how we do it.

• We schedule loud phases before or after business hours when possible.
• We section larger roofs and work one area at a time to keep the building protected.
• We tarp open sections at the end of every workday. No exposed roof surface overnight.
• We coordinate access with your property manager or building contact directly.
• We give you a day-by-day schedule before we start so you can plan around it.

Most small commercial properties in Marion County finish in two to four days. Larger jobs take longer, and we build a realistic schedule before you sign anything.

Commercial Roof Lifespan in Florida

Florida's UV load and storm season hit commercial roofs harder than in most states. Membrane systems in direct sun without proper coating lose years faster than their rated lifespan suggests. Metal systems hold up better in this climate over the long run.

Maintenance matters on commercial roofs. We recommend an annual walkthrough inspection on all flat and low-slope systems in Marion County. Catching small seam or flashing problems early costs far less than waiting for a full failure. We offer maintenance inspections as a separate service.

Commercial Project Process

We follow the same disciplined process on commercial work as we do on residential. We adapt it for larger scope and active business operations.

• We do a paid scoping inspection on commercial properties before providing a binding quote.
• We pull Marion County commercial building permits. Commercial permits take longer than residential. We build that time into your schedule.
• We assign a dedicated project lead who is your single point of contact from start to finish.
• We do not use subcontractors. Our own licensed crews do the work.
• We provide a written closeout package including permit signoff, warranty documents, and product specs for your records.

Call us at (352) 625-7663 to discuss your commercial property. We can usually schedule a scoping visit within a week.
