Mixed-Use Development Roofing

A mixed-use development is rarely one roof. It is usually several roof areas at different heights and built from different systems, sitting over a stack of uses that do not share a schedule or a priority. Retail and restaurants occupy the ground floor. Apartments or condos fill the levels above. There may be a parking podium, an amenity deck, a low-slope roof over the commercial wing, and a sloped or membrane roof over the residential floors — sometimes with occupied terraces and green roof areas in the mix. Roofing one of these properties is as much about coordination as it is about membrane.

We are a commercial roofing company that works on mixed-use buildings throughout the Columbus area, and we approach them knowing that a single defect can put water into a tenant's storefront, a resident's living room, and a shared corridor all at once. Keeping that from happening means understanding how the different roof areas relate, who is responsible for what under the building's documents, and how to do the work without disrupting people who live and shop directly underneath it.
