Commercial Roofing in Ames, Iowa
Commercial Roofing in Ames means roofing built for the Iowa climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Iowa heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.
Signs Your Ames Roof Needs Commercial Roofing
- Ponding water after a storm - the drainage is not working
- Blisters or bubbles on the membrane - the heat has trapped the moisture
- Cracked or alligatored surface - the UV has dried out the material
- Leaks at the seams and the flashings - the thermal cycling has pulled the seals apart
- Granules in the downspouts - the modified bitumen is shedding the surface
Why Ames Roofs Need Commercial Roofing
The heat is the first challenge. The flat roofs absorb the sun all day and the surface temperatures climb. The TPO and the white membranes reflect the heat.
The wind is the second challenge. The uplift on the large flat spans can pull the membrane loose.
How We Do Commercial Roofing in Ames
- Inspect the roof and the structure - check the deck, the drains, and the existing membrane
- Prepare the surface - clean, repair, and prime the substrate
- Install the membrane - the TPO, the modified bitumen, or the coating
- Flash the penetrations - the HVAC units, the vents, and the curbs
- Test the drainage - the water flows to the drains and the ponding is gone

Preventing Problems in Ames
- Inspect the roof twice a year - spring and fall, before and after the storm season
- Clear the drains and the scuppers - the debris blocks the water flow
- Check the flashings at the HVAC units - the thermal cycling loosens the seals
- Apply a reflective coating when the membrane ages - the UV protection extends the life
The commercial roof in Ames is an investment in the building. The white TPO membrane reflects the heat and cuts the cooling costs. The right maintenance doubles the life of the roof.
