Crafting Skylines: Commercial Roofing at Its Finest

Commercial roofs take a beating in Colorado Springs. Hail, UV exposure at 6,000 feet, wide temperature swings, and heavy spring snowfall all wear on flat and low-slope systems in ways that residential roofing contractors simply aren’t equipped to handle. RIZE Roofing has been working on commercial properties across El Paso County since 2017, and the difference between a properly installed TPO membrane and a failed one often comes down to whether the crew actually understands the climate they’re working in.

We install, repair, and inspect commercial roofing systems for retail buildings, office complexes, warehouses, multi-family properties, churches, and industrial facilities throughout Colorado Springs and the surrounding communities. Every job comes with a free estimate, and we work with property owners and managers on tight timelines when weather or a lease renewal makes speed a priority.

Commercial Roofing Systems We Install

Not every commercial building needs the same roof. The right system depends on the roof’s slope, square footage, budget, how the building is used, and how long the owner plans to hold the property. We install and service all of the major commercial flat and low-slope systems used in Colorado.

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)

TPO is the most widely installed commercial roofing membrane in the country, and for good reason. It handles Colorado’s UV exposure well, reflects heat to reduce cooling costs in summer, and welds at the seams rather than using adhesives, which means fewer failure points over time. We install 45-mil and 60-mil TPO and recommend the heavier option for most Colorado Springs commercial properties given the hail risk.

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)

EPDM is a rubber membrane that has been the standard in flat commercial roofing for decades. It performs well in cold temperatures, making it a reliable choice for buildings that see hard winters, and it’s one of the more repair-friendly systems when damage does occur. EPDM typically comes in black, which absorbs heat rather than reflecting it, so it’s a better fit for buildings in colder climates or those without significant cooling loads.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

PVC membranes are the best choice for commercial kitchens, restaurants, and any building that produces grease-laden exhaust. Grease breaks down TPO and EPDM over time, but PVC is chemically resistant and holds up. PVC is also a strong performer in high-wind environments, which matters on Colorado’s Front Range.

Modified Bitumen

Modified bitumen is a multi-layer asphalt-based system that works well on buildings with frequent roof traffic, equipment access, or mechanical systems that need regular maintenance. The layers give it durability underfoot and good resistance to puncture.

​Metal Roofing

Crafted from robust materials like steel, aluminum, or copper, it offers unparalleled resistance to fire, wind, and impact, ensuring safety for Colorado’s diverse climate. Boasting a lightweight design, metal roofs streamline installation, cutting down on labor costs and time. With a lifespan of up to 50 years or more, metal roofs emerge as a savvy, long-term investment for business owners.

Asphalt Shingles

Resistant to fire and wind, asphalt shingles stand strong against Colorado’s elements. With routine maintenance and occasional repairs, these roofs can thrive for up to 30 years, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind for commercial property owners. Crafted from fiberglass or organic materials and coated with asphalt for enhanced durability, these shingles offer both resilience and aesthetic versatility. 

SBS Asphalt Shingles

These shingles are meticulously designed for durability and flexibility in commercial settings. Infused with SBS polymers, these shingles excel in withstanding harsh weather, including high winds and heavy rain, while also resisting impacts. These are available in diverse colors and styles to seamlessly blend with the architectural designs of your business.

Silicone Roof Coatings

If an existing flat roof has remaining structural life but needs surface protection or leak repairs, a silicone coating can extend it by 10 to 15 years without a full tear-off. We assess existing systems and recommend coatings when they make financial sense, and we don’t recommend them when they don’t.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofing offers timeless elegance and durability, providing a classic and sophisticated look to any home. With its natural resistance to fire, insects, and rot, tile roofing ensures long-lasting protection and peace of mind for homeowners.

Why Colorado Springs Commercial Property Owners Choose RIZE

We’re a family-owned business, not a national franchise, and the people who answer the phone and show up on site are the same people who built this company. Ben and Jessica Feilmeier started RIZE in 2017, and every commercial job still gets direct oversight from the ownership team.

A few things that matter on commercial work:

We pull permits on every job. El Paso County and the City of Colorado Springs require permits for commercial roofing work, and working with a contractor who skips that step creates liability for the property owner. We handle the permitting process on every commercial project we take on.

We carry full commercial insurance coverage. General liability and workers’ comp limits appropriate for commercial work are in place on every project.

We know Colorado’s climate. The combination of hail, UV, temperature swings, and Front Range wind loads means commercial roofing details that work in other markets sometimes fail here. We spec and install with the local environment in mind, not a national template.

RIZE is rated 4.9 stars across 150+ Google reviews and was recognized as a Top Commercial Roofing Contractor in Colorado Springs by Forbes Home.

Commercial Roof Repair and Emergency Service

Most commercial roofing problems don’t announce themselves in advance. A membrane seam separates after a hail event, a drain backs up and water starts pooling, or a flashing failure causes a ceiling leak the week before a tenant moves in. We handle commercial repairs on all of the systems above and can respond quickly when a leak or storm damage needs immediate attention.

We document all damage thoroughly before starting any repair work, which matters when a commercial insurance claim is involved. Our estimates include photos, written scope, and material specifications, and we can work directly with your property insurance carrier if needed. Learn more about how we handle insurance claims.

Commercial Roof Inspections and Assessments

Commercial roofs don’t fail overnight. Most failures develop over months or years through granule loss, seam separation, blocked drainage, or flashing deterioration that goes unnoticed until it becomes an interior problem. An annual inspection catches those issues before they turn expensive, and a written condition report gives property owners and managers documentation they can use for budgeting, insurance, or a sale.

RIZE provides commercial roof inspections with a written report covering current condition, identified problem areas, estimated remaining service life, and a recommended maintenance or repair scope. If you’re purchasing a commercial property or budgeting for capital improvements, we can turn around an inspection report quickly.

Commercial Roofing Service Area

We serve commercial properties throughout Colorado Springs and El Paso County, including Fountain, Manitou Springs, Monument, Black Forest, Security-Widefield, Peyton, and Falcon. For larger commercial projects we’ll travel further, so call to confirm coverage if you’re outside El Paso County.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Roofing in Colorado Springs

How long does a commercial roof last in Colorado Springs?
It depends on the system. TPO and EPDM membranes installed correctly typically last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance. Modified bitumen runs 15 to 25 years. Silicone coatings applied over an existing system can add 10 to 15 years of service life. Colorado’s UV intensity and hail frequency can shorten those ranges if the system isn’t maintained or if hail damage goes unaddressed.

Most commercial property policies cover hail and storm damage, but coverage depends on the policy type, the age of the roof, and whether the damage was caused by a covered peril. We can assess the damage, document it properly, and work with your carrier on the claim. Learn more about how we handle insurance claims.

Cost depends on square footage, system type, roof access, existing conditions, and whether a tear-off is needed. TPO replacement typically runs between $7 and $14 per square foot installed. We provide free written estimates for all commercial projects, so the most accurate number comes from having us out for an assessment.
Yes. El Paso County and the City of Colorado Springs require permits for commercial roofing replacement. RIZE pulls all required permits as part of our standard process. A contractor who skips permits on commercial work leaves that liability with the property owner.
Yes. We’ve coordinated commercial projects around occupied retail spaces, active warehouses, and operating offices. We can work in sections, schedule noisier phases during off-hours, and communicate timelines clearly with building management. If your building is occupied, tell us upfront and we’ll plan around it.
Both are solid systems. TPO is white and reflects heat, which reduces cooling costs and performs well in Colorado’s high UV environment. EPDM is black, absorbs heat, and handles cold temperatures well. For most Colorado Springs commercial properties we recommend TPO because of the UV load and the energy savings. EPDM makes more sense for buildings with minimal cooling needs or in colder climates.
