Commercial roofing near you is a licensed commercial roofing contractor installing, repairing or replacing a low slope or flat roof on a building that stays open while the work happens, to a spec the manufacturer will warranty and the county will pass.
Red Truck Roofing (FL License CCC1332514 and CBC1259162) has serviced more than 6,000 roofs across Tampa Bay since March 2020, including offices, retail plazas, churches, warehouses, HOAs and multi family communities.
Our crews are Mule-Hide certified for TPO, PVC, EPDM and modified bitumen, and once finished more than 12 multi family buildings in under three weeks. Phones are answered 24 hours a day, and a commercial roof inspection with a written condition report is free. Call (813) 733-8725 for a free roof inspection, or request an estimate online.
Red Truck Roofing installs, repairs and replaces every low slope system sold in Florida, plus the steep slope shingle, metal and tile roofs on townhomes, villas, churches and retail buildings with pitched roofs.
TPO roofing is a single ply white thermoplastic membrane, heat welded at every seam, that reflects most of the Florida sun off the building and is the most installed commercial roof in the country for a reason.
Red Truck Roofing installs Mule-Hide TPO in 45, 60 and 80 mil, mechanically fastened or fully adhered over new polyiso insulation. Expect 20 to 30 years of service, cooler top floors and a manufacturer warranty that runs up to 30 years on the right assembly.
PVC roofing is the single ply membrane for restaurants, kitchens and anything with grease or chemical exposure, because PVC shrugs off the oils and fumes that soften a TPO or EPDM roof over time.
It welds like TPO, costs a little more per square foot, and lasts 25 to 35 years in Florida. If the building has exhaust fans from a hood, PVC is the roof we specify.
EPDM roofing is the black synthetic rubber membrane that has been on commercial buildings for more than 50 years, installed in wide sheets with taped or adhered seams.
It is the lowest cost single ply, handles thermal movement well and repairs easily. In the Florida sun a black roof runs hot, so we usually recommend white TPO or PVC on occupied buildings and reserve EPDM for warehouses, canopies and budget driven recovers.
Multi family roofing is a phased reroof across many buildings on one property, run by one project manager to one spec, with a schedule that keeps residents parked, dry and informed the whole way through.
This is the job Red Truck Roofing is built for. Our crews finished more than 12 multi family buildings in under three weeks, with dumpsters staged, parking mapped, notices posted and every building inspected by the county before the next one started.
Boards get one point of contact, one written schedule and one warranty package at the end. For pitched roofs across a community, see our roof replacement page for the shingle, metal and tile options.
Modified bitumen roofing is the multi ply asphalt system, usually a base sheet plus a granulated cap sheet, torch applied, cold applied or self adhered, that has held up on Florida flat roofs longer than any single ply.
Red Truck Roofing is a Polyglass Preferred Contractor and installs Polyglass and Mule-Hide mod bit systems. It is the right roof for small flat sections, heavy foot traffic and buildings where a granulated surface is preferred over a membrane. Expect 15 to 25 years.

“Red Truck Roofing went to great lengths to match the materials and even provided a limited warrenty for the large patch, which other companies refused to do. When we called them back for what we thought was a new leak, they responded quickly.”

Commercial roof repair is finding the failed seam, flashing, drain or curb that is actually leaking, fixing it to the manufacturer’s detail so the warranty stays intact, and putting the building on a maintenance schedule so it does not happen again.
Most commercial leaks come from four places: seams, flashings around HVAC curbs, clogged drains and scuppers, and punctures from other trades. Red Truck Roofing repairs all of them, documents each visit with photos, and offers semi annual maintenance plans that satisfy most manufacturer warranty requirements.

Commercial roofs in Florida answer to the Florida Building Code, the manufacturer’s specification and your insurance carrier, and all three have to agree before a permit is closed. Here is how the rules break.
The 2023 Florida Building Code requires insulation to current energy code, positive drainage and tested wind uplift for the assembly
Expect tapered insulation, new drains or scuppers and a fastening pattern set by the uplift calculation, not by habit
The code allows one recover over one existing roof if the deck is sound and there is no wet insulation
A moisture survey decides recover versus tear off; two roofs are never allowed to stack
Senate Bill 4-D (2022) allows repair of the damaged section regardless of how much is damaged
A storm repair on a newer roof does not force a full replacement
More than 25 percent of a section within 12 months triggers bringing that section to current code
A large repair can become a section replacement on older buildings
Tampa Bay sits in a 140 to 160 mph ultimate design wind speed zone with higher pressures at corners and perimeters
Corners and edges get more fasteners or more adhesive, and the edge metal has to be tested to ANSI/SPRI ES-1
Florida’s 2023 reforms shortened claim deadlines and ended assignment of benefits on new residential policies; commercial policies carry their own deadlines
Document within weeks, and never sign the claim over to a roofer
A permit and a county final inspection are required, pulled in the contractor’s name
The permit record follows the building and shows up at sale
Every low slope assembly is fastened or adhered to a pressure calculated from the building’s height, exposure and the 2023 code wind map. The corners of a two story building in Clearwater need more than the field of a one story building in Lutz, and the fastening pattern shows it.
The Florida energy code sets a minimum R value for a replaced low slope roof, and most older buildings fall short. We size the polyiso to meet it and taper it to drain, which also lowers the cooling bill on the top floor.
Code requires positive drainage, which in practice is a quarter inch per foot. Ponding water is the number one killer of flat roofs in Florida, so we crown the insulation, add drains or scuppers where needed, and photograph the roof after the first rain.
A Mule-Hide or Polyglass NDL warranty has its own inspection at the end and its own maintenance requirement afterward. We build to it, schedule the manufacturer inspection, and put the maintenance plan in writing so the warranty never lapses on a technicality.
A Red Truck Roofing commercial job follows the same six steps on a 2,000 square foot restaurant and a 12 building community, so the owner, the manager and the tenants all know what happens next.
A human answers at (813) 733-8725. A project manager walks the roof, cores or moisture scans if needed, photographs every drain, seam and flashing, and writes a condition report.
Membrane, insulation, drainage, flashings, permit, disposal and warranty, each on its own line, with options if the board wants them.
Deliveries, dumpsters, parking, tenant notices and hours of operation are mapped before the first truck arrives.
Tear off or recover, insulation to the energy code, membrane fastened or adhered to the uplift calculation, flashings to the manufacturer detail, edge metal to ES-1.
County final inspection, then the manufacturer inspection that releases the NDL warranty.
Photo record, permit paperwork, warranty documents and a maintenance plan so the warranty stays in force.

A commercial roof warranty is only worth what the manufacturer will honor, and the manufacturer only honors a roof installed by a contractor it certified. Red Truck Roofing’s certifications put that coverage on your building.
Mule-Hide NDL system warranties on TPO, PVC, EPDM and modified bitumen assemblies, from 10 to 30 years depending on the system, with no dollar limit on covered repairs
Polyglass system warranties on Polyglass modified bitumen roofs installed by a Polyglass Preferred Contractor
GAF Golden Pledge and Owens Corning Preferred Protection on shingle reroofs across multi family and HOA communities
Red Truck Roofing workmanship warranty in writing on every installation and every repair, from a company with an office on Gunn Highway
Transferable coverage on most systems, which matters the day the building sells
★★★★★
“They worked to provide good time lines, and good roofing products. Including transferable warranties. Which is awesome.”
