Commercial Roof Replacement for Twin Cities Properties
Englund Roofing provides commercial flat-roof replacement services throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities. When a commercial roof reaches the point where repairs are no longer predictable or cost-effective, a planned replacement can protect the building, reduce uncertainty, and create a clearer maintenance path.
We help property owners and managers evaluate roof condition, understand practical system options, address drainage and flashing details, and plan work around the needs of an occupied property.
Is it time to replace your commercial roof?
Commercial roof replacement may be worth evaluating when you are dealing with:
- Frequent or escalating repair needs
- Widespread membrane deterioration
- Recurring leaks in multiple areas
- Aging roof materials nearing the end of their serviceable life
- Failing seams, flashing, penetrations, or roof-edge details
- Persistent drainage or ponding-water concerns
- A change in building use, equipment, or insulation needs
- A desire to move from reactive repairs to a planned capital project
A roof inspection helps distinguish between a repairable condition and a roof system that requires a larger solution.
A Roof Replacement Plan built around the building
A successful commercial replacement considers more than the membrane selected. The scope should account for the building, its operations, and the roof assembly’s details.
Existing roof assessment
We begin by evaluating the current system and visible conditions that affect the project scope. This helps identify repair history, membrane condition, potential drainage concerns, flashing needs, and other factors that may influence the replacement plan.
Roofing-system options
Englund Roofing works with commercial roofing systems including TPO, EPDM, and PVC. The right system depends on the existing roof, building design, desired performance characteristics, budget, and overall project requirements.

Flashing, edges, and penetrations
Roof replacement is an opportunity to address the details that often drive long-term performance: transitions, curbs, equipment penetrations, drains, edges, and flashing. Englund Roofing’s sheet-metal capability supports a more complete approach to critical roof details.
Drainage and water management
Water should move off the roof as intended. If ponding water, blocked drainage pathways, or roof-slope issues are contributing to deterioration, those conditions should be considered during replacement planning.
Occupied-building coordination
Commercial replacement often occurs while a building remains occupied. A clear plan helps manage access, scheduling, safety, tenant communication, operations, and weather-related contingencies.
Roof Systems for Commercial Flat Roofs
TPO Roofing
TPO is a single-ply membrane commonly used on commercial flat and low-slope roofs. It may be a suitable option depending on building requirements, installation details, and the existing roof assembly.
EPDM Roofing
EPDM is a rubber roofing system used on low-slope commercial roofs. An EPDM solution may be appropriate based on the property’s roof design, material requirements, and existing conditions.
PVC Roofing
PVC is another commercial single-ply roofing option. Speak with Englund Roofing about whether it fits your building, roof conditions, and project goals.

Commercial Low Sloped Roof FAQs
How do I know whether repair or replacement is the better decision?
The answer depends on the roof’s overall condition, age, repair history, type of damage, and the likelihood that repairs will provide dependable value. A commercial roof assessment provides the information needed for a practical comparison.
Which commercial roofing system is right for my building?
TPO, EPDM, and PVC each have different characteristics and installation requirements. The best choice depends on your existing roof, building design, drainage, budget, energy priorities, and project goals.
Can a commercial roof be replaced while the building remains open?
In many situations, yes. Project planning should account for access, occupants, operations, noise, safety, staging, and weather. The exact approach depends on the property and scope.
Do you replace apartment and warehouse roofs?
Englund Roofing serves commercial, multifamily, industrial, and other low-slope properties throughout the Twin Cities metro.
Can you evaluate drainage and flashing as part of the replacement project?
Yes. Drainage, flashing, penetrations, curbs, edges, and transition details should be assessed as part of a complete commercial replacement plan.
