Why Adventure for commercial

One licensed crew. Every major commercial system.

Most commercial roofers are loyal to a single membrane manufacturer and try to fit every building into it. We're certified across the major single-ply, modified bitumen, and metal systems — so the recommendation you get is based on your building, not on our supplier.

Five system types

TPO, EPDM, Modified Bitumen, PVC, and standing seam metal — installed and serviced by the same crew.

Manufacturer warranties

Full membrane and labor warranties registered on your behalf, including NDL (no-dollar-limit) options where eligible.

Tear-off & re-roof

Full mechanical tear-offs, recovery boards over existing roofs, and tie-ins to additions or new construction.

Spec & bid friendly

We work to architect specs, GC schedules, and property-manager bid packages. Documentation and submittals included.

Five commercial systems

Which roof is right for your building?

Every commercial roof is a trade-off between upfront cost, energy performance, chemical exposure, foot-traffic load, and expected service life. Here's an honest read on the five systems we install, and where each one earns its keep.

TPOEPDMModified BitumenPVCMetal
System 01 / 05 — TPO

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)

A single-ply, heat-welded white membrane that has become the go-to for new commercial roofs. Highly reflective, energy efficient, and competitively priced — TPO dominates today's flat-roof market for retail, warehouse, and office buildings.

Typical service life
20–30 years
Best for
New construction, re-roofs over insulation, energy-conscious owners.

System highlights

  • Hot-air welded seams (no adhesives at the seam)
  • Highly reflective — ENERGY STAR and CRRC rated
  • Class A fire rating with proper assembly
  • Mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted
  • Typical 60-, 80-, or 115-mil membrane thicknesses
  • 20–25 year manufacturer warranties available

System 02 / 05 — EPDM

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)

The proven rubber roof — black or white synthetic-rubber membrane that's been protecting flat commercial roofs since the 1960s. Excellent cold-weather flexibility makes it a Minnesota workhorse, especially for re-roofs and warehouses.

Typical service life
25–35 years
Best for
Cold-climate buildings, large open warehouses, long-term ownership.

System highlights

  • Single-ply synthetic rubber, very long track record
  • Excellent flexibility in freeze/thaw cycles
  • 45-, 60-, or 90-mil membrane options
  • Seamed with tape or adhesive (newer systems use welded seam tape)
  • Resistant to ozone, UV, and thermal shock
  • Mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted

System 03 / 05 — Modified Bitumen

Modified Bitumen (Mod-Bit)

Asphalt-based, multi-ply built-up roof using polymer-modified asphalt sheets — SBS for cold-weather flexibility or APP for high-heat hardness. Tough, redundant, and forgiving of foot traffic, making it ideal for roofs with heavy equipment.

Typical service life
20–30 years
Best for
Roofs with heavy mechanical traffic, restaurants, additions over existing built-up roofs.
Roofer torch-applying modified bitumen membrane with granulated mineral surface.

System highlights

  • Two- or three-ply redundant membrane assembly
  • SBS (flexible, MN-friendly) or APP (high-heat) options
  • Torch-applied, hot-mopped, cold-adhesive, or self-adhered
  • Mineral surface granules for UV and traffic protection
  • Excellent puncture and tear resistance
  • Easy to repair and tie into existing built-up roofs

System 04 / 05 — PVC

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

A premium single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams and best-in-class chemical resistance. PVC is the right call for restaurants, food processing, and any roof exposed to grease, oils, or chemical exhaust that would eat through TPO or EPDM.

Typical service life
25–35 years
Best for
Restaurants, food processing, manufacturing, chemical exposure.

System highlights

  • Hot-air welded seams — among the strongest in roofing
  • Outstanding resistance to grease, oils, and chemicals
  • Highly reflective white surface — ENERGY STAR rated
  • Class A fire rating, excellent flame resistance
  • 50-, 60-, or 80-mil membrane thicknesses
  • 20–30 year manufacturer warranties available

System 05 / 05 — Metal

Standing Seam & Structural Metal

For pitched commercial roofs, standing seam metal delivers the longest service life on the market. Continuous panels with concealed-clip fastening — no exposed screws to back out — built from Galvalume or aluminum with Kynar 500 finishes.

Typical service life
40–60+ years
Best for
Pitched commercial roofs, schools, churches, ag and industrial buildings, architectural projects.

System highlights

  • 24- or 26-gauge Galvalume steel or aluminum
  • Kynar 500 / PVDF fade-resistant finish, 30+ year color warranty
  • Concealed clip-fastening — no exposed screws
  • Mechanically seamed at 1.5" or 1.75"
  • Snow guards and curb flashings engineered to layout
  • Lowest lifetime cost when amortized over service life

Commercial services

Beyond the install.

A commercial roof is an asset — and assets need maintenance, documentation, and a partner who picks up the phone when something leaks at 2 a.m. We handle the full lifecycle.

New construction

Working with GCs and architects on TPO, EPDM, PVC, mod-bit, or metal roof packages. Submittals, mock-ups, and tie-ins handled.

Re-roof & tear-off

Full mechanical tear-offs, recover-board installs over existing membranes, and re-cover systems where structural conditions allow.

Insulation & tapered systems

Tapered ISO insulation packages engineered to your drains, plus full R-value upgrades to current MN energy code.

Repairs & leak response

Membrane repairs, seam re-welds, drain replacements, and emergency leak response with documented before/after photos.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled inspections, drain clean-outs, flashing checks, and annual condition reports to extend warranty life.

Roof asset management

Building-by-building service plans for multi-property owners and property managers — one point of contact across the portfolio.
