Roofing the Way it Should Be

When you need commercial roofing services

turn to Dickerson Contracting. We’re the premier company for all flat and low-slope roofing needs. We source quality products and offer an array of commercial roofing solutions from which to choose.

 

Dickerson Contracting specializes in these high-quality commercial roofing solutions

EPDM Single-Ply Roofing

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is the most common application for commercial flat roofing. EPDM is a synthetic rubber sheet material used to line ponds and water gardens in landscaping projects.

 

The EPDM membrane can be laid down without adhesive by using stones or pavers to weigh the material down. This method promotes the evaporation of excess water on the surface.

TPO Roofing

TPO, Thermoplastic Polyolefin, is becoming very popular in commercial roofing. TPO is composed of synthetic materials and fabric reinforcements for extra strength and durability. It’s moisture-resistant and contains natural reflective properties to ward off the sun’s ultraviolet rays which often cause roofing to dry out and crack over time. TPO also tends to conserve energy better within a building.

PVC Roofing

PVC is a synthetic, thermoplastic polymer with substantial benefits to commercial properties, including fire, water, and wind resistance. PVC roofing material typically arrives in rolls using full adhesion, seam welding, or mechanical fastening techniques.

Why choose dickerson for your commercial roofing needs

When you’re looking for a reliable company to provide quality service on commercial roofing projects, turn to Dickerson Contracting. We’ll conduct a thorough, professional roof inspection to assess any conditions which might pose a risk to property damage if not addressed by proper repair, replacement or restoration.

Dickerson Contracting recommends semi-annual checkups that can invariably save property owners and managers from costly repairs. Minor roof condition issues should not be neglected.

Common commercial roof repairs

Moisture intrusion can be devastating to a building’s structure, as well as its valuable contents. Our commercial roofing systems are designed to provide optimal protection against water seepage, which can lead to the degradation of a flat or low-slope roof. Dickerson Contracting will evaluate and fix drainage problems that are causing “ponding” – a water retention condition that is detrimental to commercial roofing.

Reinforced Roofing

Roofing systems by Dickerson Contracting are lightweight, durable and efficient solutions for commercial buildings. We apply waterproofing solutions with an acrylic coating that resists splitting or rupturing. Our strong roof membranes increase energy efficiency while extending the roof’s lifespan by preventing breakage.

Commercial Roof Maintenance

Commercial roofs greatly benefit from a regular maintenance program, no matter what the type or age of the roof. Maintenance by Dickerson Contracting will catch developing issues before they become major risks to a building and its contents. Owners and managers of apartments are responsible for protecting residents who count on their homes to provide uninterrupted safety and comfort.

 

Among the many roof maintenance steps taken by Dickerson Contracting is the application of acrylic or silicone coatings to seal cracks that can cause leaks and result in costly property loss if ignored.

Rapid Mitigation of Water Leaks

Dickerson Contracting’s roofing systems are lightweight, durable, efficient solutions for your building. Our waterproofing solutions include coatings that resist splitting or rupturing of roof coverings. Strong roof membranes also increase energy efficiency. Roof leak risks that aren’t caught early will worsen and lead to expensive repairs and replacement of building contents destroyed by water and moisture exposure.

Bi-Annual Roof Inspection

Inspect your roof for any undetected leaks, cracks, or sagging. Dickerson Contracting will check around joints, vents, and skylights to ensure everything is well sealed and ready for Mississippi’s tough rain and wind conditions.

Benefits of Roof Replacement

A commercial roof is an essential part of any building. With all the human activity taking place in commercial buildings, property owners and managers want to make sure that their facilities remain safe and dry, day after day. Foot traffic also takes place on your roof! Service technicians, equipment installers, and others tread upon a roof to perform needed tasks. Roof traffic is yet another reason why Dickerson should examine your roof periodically for manmade wear and tear.

Post-Storm Inspections

Mississippi and the Gulf Coast is notorious for taking the brunt of tropical storms – a leading cause of major commercial roof damage. In the aftermath of a severe weather event, Dickerson Contracting will act quickly to respond to your roofing needs.

Keep Your Roof Clean

Keeping your roof clean can help avoid the formation of drainage blockages and algae or mold growth. These issues can hasten the demise of a roofing system. A regular roof cleaning prevents drainage-related problems while providing Dickerson Contracting with an opportunity to observe any developing roof damage due to common issues like corroded seals, rusting rooftop equipment mounts, small roof punctures, roof deck warping and ponding water.

Trim Trees Around The Roof

Leafy trees and shrubs which encroach upon a building can lead to roof drainage obstructions, pest infestation, and undue weight pressing against roof eaves. It is important to trim limbs and vines which are too close to a commercial structure.

Clean Gutters & Drains

Storms and rain wash debris into gutters and drainage systems which are designed to channel the water from the roof and away from building foundations. When drainage systems are clogged, water can be retained on a roof too long, potentially causing structural damage and leaks. Dickerson Contracting can correct drainage problems and fix or replace inefficient gutter systems.

Double Check Roof Equipment

Flat roofs often accommodate rooftop equipment such as solar panels, HVAC units, water tanks, skylights, electrical and communications equipment. These are anchored to the roof in various ways that often penetrate the roof covering and underlayment. If not properly sealed and maintained, rooftop equipment and hardware connecting it securely to the roof can be entry points for water and moisture.
