Your commercial building in Middletown needs a roof that handles foot traffic from HVAC maintenance, drains water without pooling, and holds up against the freeze-thaw cycles that stress flat and low-slope systems. Westgate Roofing installs commercial roofing designed for long-term durability, proper drainage, and minimal disruption to your business operations during construction.

The installation process is planned around your schedule, with crews arriving early or working in phases to avoid interfering with business hours. Projects include flat roofing systems, low-slope membranes, and built-up roofing common to New Jersey commercial structures. Every installation follows manufacturer guidelines and local building codes, with attention to flashing around rooftop units, parapet walls, and drainage scuppers.

What goes into a commercial roof installation

The crew removes the existing roof system, inspects the decking for damage, and installs new insulation boards before applying the membrane. In Middletown, where older commercial buildings often have outdated drainage or insufficient insulation, the installation corrects these issues to prevent future leaks and energy loss. Jobsite safety is maintained with barriers, signage, and controlled access to the work area.

Once the new roof is in place, you will notice water draining cleanly toward scuppers or internal drains without ponding in low spots. The surface will be sealed around penetrations, and the membrane will lie flat without wrinkles or gaps. These details determine how well the roof performs under snow load, wind uplift, and the thermal expansion that occurs during summer heat.

Commercial roof installations are scheduled with attention to weather windows and building access requirements. If your property has multiple tenants or restricted hours, the crew coordinates staging and material delivery to minimize impact. This is not a rushed process.

What property managers need to know upfront

Questions about commercial roof installation usually focus on timeline, disruption, and how the work affects daily operations. These answers address the practical concerns that come up before signing a contract.

How long does a commercial roof installation take?
Installation time depends on roof size, system type, and weather conditions, but most commercial projects in Middletown take one to three weeks. Westgate Roofing provides a timeline estimate during the consultation based on your building's specifics.
What type of roofing systems do you install?
Westgate Roofing installs flat and low-slope systems including TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. The system is selected based on your building's use, budget, and expected lifespan.
Will the work disrupt business operations?
The crew schedules work to minimize noise and access issues during business hours. If your building requires night or weekend work, that can be arranged during the planning phase.
How do you handle drainage on flat roofs?
The installation includes tapered insulation or crickets to direct water toward drains and scuppers. Proper drainage prevents ponding, which accelerates membrane wear and increases leak risk.
What warranty comes with a commercial roof?
You receive both a manufacturer's material warranty and a workmanship warranty from Westgate Roofing. Warranty terms depend on the system and materials selected for your project.
