Commercial Roofing Systems

For most flat or low-slope commercial buildings in Charlotte NC, TPO single-ply is the best balance of cost, energy efficiency, and warranty — typically $5–$12 per square foot installed with a 20–30 year NDL warranty from manufacturers like Carlisle and Johns Manville. EPDM rubber is preferred for parapet-walled buildings (60+ year track record). PVC is best for restaurants and manufacturing where chemical or grease resistance is required. Best Roofing Now is an authorized installer for Carlisle, Johns Manville, Firestone-Holcim, GAF, and Mule-Hide.
