Commercial Roof Repairs

Roof repairs are one of the most common needs for commercial properties. Even minor leaks can disrupt operations, damage equipment, or put valuable inventory at risk. Our team specializes in diagnosing and repairing issues quickly, with minimal interruption to your business.

Common Commercial Roof Repairs

  • Sealing leaks and replacing damaged flashing
  • Patching punctures or cracks from storms and debris
  • Fixing corrosion or fastener issues on metal roofing
  • Replacing broken tiles on churches and decorative buildings
  • Addressing ponding water issues on flat roofs

Each repair starts with a detailed inspection to locate the source of the problem. We provide clear recommendations, explain repair options, and give upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect. If storm damage is the cause, we also supply documentation and photos to help support insurance claims.

Commercial Roof Replacement

Eventually, every roof reaches the end of its lifespan. For businesses, a roof replacement is a significant investment, but one that can protect the property for decades and reduce long-term maintenance costs. E.W. MacDowell Roofing has extensive experience managing large-scale commercial roof replacements across South Florida.

Signs It’s Time for Replacement

  • Frequent leaks or recurring repair needs
  • Visible structural issues like sagging or rot
  • Storm damage that repairs cannot fully resolve
  • A roof that has surpassed its expected service life (20–30 years for flat, 40–60 for metal, 50+ for tile)

Our Process

  1. Inspection & Planning – We inspect the roof, document damage, and create a replacement plan.
  2. Material Selection – Options include shingles, tile, metal, or flat roofing systems, based on your building type and budget.
  3. Preparation – Old roofing is removed and the substrate prepared.
  4. Installation – Our crews install the new system with precision, ensuring proper flashing, sealing, and drainage.
  5. Final Inspection – We perform a walkthrough, provide warranty information, and leave the property clean.

We understand downtime costs money. Our team works efficiently, staging projects so businesses can often remain open during the replacement. With a new roof installed by E.W. MacDowell Roofing, you’ll gain long-lasting protection and added property value.

Commercial Roof Inspections & Maintenance

Routine inspections are critical for extending the life of your roof and preventing costly emergencies. At E.W. MacDowell Roofing, we recommend businesses schedule inspections at least twice a year — once before hurricane season and once after. This helps identify vulnerabilities early and ensures your property is prepared for severe weather.

Our Inspection Process

  • Comprehensive walk-through of the roof surface
  • Checking seams, flashing, drains, and gutters
  • Identifying cracked, missing, or deteriorated materials
  • Providing a detailed written report with photos

For businesses that want ongoing protection, we offer customized maintenance programs. These include routine checkups, minor repairs, resealing, and cleaning to extend the lifespan of your roof. Proactive maintenance not only saves money over time but also keeps insurance providers satisfied by demonstrating proper upkeep.

Types of Commercial Roofing

The roofing system you choose impacts performance, aesthetics, and long-term costs. E.W. MacDowell Roofing works with all major commercial roofing types:

Shingle Roofing

Affordable and versatile, shingle roofing is a common choice for small offices and retail spaces. While not as long-lasting as tile or metal, shingles provide a reliable and cost-effective option when installed and maintained properly.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofing is both durable and beautiful, making it ideal for churches and properties that want to maintain an architectural style. Tiles can last 50+ years with proper installation and care, offering excellent protection against Florida’s heat and storms.

Metal Roofing

Metal is one of the most durable options available, with lifespans of 40–60 years. It resists wind, fire, and corrosion when properly maintained, making it the preferred choice for warehouses and large-scale commercial properties.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofing is common on warehouses, industrial facilities, and large office complexes. These systems require specialized installation and maintenance to prevent ponding and leaks. We provide repair, replacement, and coating services to maximize performance.


Commercial Properties We Serve

We provide roofing solutions for a variety of commercial properties, including:

  • Office Buildings – Professional, durable solutions for businesses of all sizes.
  • Churches – Specialized roofing that balances beauty and durability.
  • Warehouses – Large-scale roofing systems built for strength and longevity.
  • Retail Centers – Roofing solutions designed to enhance curb appeal and protect tenants.
  • Schools & Institutions – Safe, code-compliant roofing for high-traffic properties.

Emergency Commercial Roofing Services

  • Roof tarping to stop water intrusion
  • Temporary stabilization after severe damage
  • Fast leak repair during storms
  • Permanent repair and replacement follow-ups
