Getting a new commercial roof might sound like a big undertaking—and let’s be honest, it is. But with the right team and a clear plan, the process doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In fact, it can be a smooth, efficient upgrade that brings serious long-term benefits to your building.
At The Duerson Corporation, we like to keep things simple and transparent. So whether this is your first commercial roof replacement or you’ve been through it before, here’s exactly what you can expect when you work with us.
Step 1: Let’s Start with a Conversation
First things first—we’ll come out to take a good look at your current roof. We’ll talk with you about any issues you’ve noticed (like leaks, energy loss, or wear and tear), and we’ll do a full inspection to understand what’s really going on up there.
We’ll check:
- How the current system is performing
- Any signs of water damage or poor drainage
- How well your roof is insulated and ventilated
- And what’s needed to bring everything up to speed
After the inspection, we’ll walk you through your options and give you a detailed estimate. No pressure, no surprises—just clear, honest info to help you decide what’s best for your building.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Roofing System
There are a lot of roofing materials out there, but we keep it simple by specializing in what we know works best: Duro-Last. It’s durable, energy-efficient, and custom-fabricated for a perfect fit—meaning faster installation and fewer long-term issues.
We’ll explain how it works, what makes it different, and how it can save you money in the long run. We’ll also go over warranty options so you know you’re protected.
Step 3: Planning the Project
Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll work with you to schedule the installation at a time that makes sense for your business. We’re flexible and always aim to keep disruptions to a minimum.
We’ll also take care of any necessary permits or paperwork so you don’t have to worry about it.
Step 4: Out with the Old (If Needed)
In some cases, we’ll need to remove the old roofing system completely. That gives us a clean slate and helps ensure your new roof is built on a solid foundation.
Other times, if your existing roof is still structurally sound, we may be able to install your new Duro-Last system right over it. We’ll walk you through both options and help you choose the right approach.
Step 5: Installing Your New Roof
Now comes the fun part. Because Duro-Last roofs are pre-fabricated to your building’s specs, installation is quick, clean, and highly efficient. Our team will carefully install every layer, seal every seam, and make sure every detail is just right.
We also take extra care around rooftop units like HVAC systems, drains, and vents to ensure everything is watertight and properly integrated.
Step 6: Final Inspection and Walkthrough
Once the installation is complete, we’ll do a full walkthrough—inspecting every inch of your new roof to make sure it meets our standards (and yours). If you’d like to walk the roof with us, we’re happy to take you up there and show you around.
We’ll also go over basic maintenance tips, what’s covered under your warranty, and answer any questions you might have.
Step 7: We’re Still Here After the Job is Done
One of the things our clients appreciate most? We don’t just disappear after the roof is installed. We’re always here if you need routine maintenance, future inspections, or just want to talk through any concerns.
Your roof is a big investment—we want to help you protect it for years to come.
