Commercial Roofing With 50+ Years of Combined Expertise
A commercial roof has a different job than a residential one. It is flatter, it works harder, it carries equipment, and when it fails it does not stain a bedroom ceiling. It shuts down a sales floor, soaks inventory, and closes a kitchen on a Friday night. Tar Heel Construction Group brings 50+ years of combined commercial roofing expertise to flat and low slope buildings across Harford County and Central Maryland, from single tenant shops in Bel Air to warehouses, offices, churches, and multifamily properties across the region.
Businesses hire us for the same reason homeowners do. We are local, licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania, BBB A+ accredited with the Torch Award for Ethics, and rated 5.0 out of 5.0 across 800+ reviews. When a property manager calls our office at 523 Underwood Lane, a real person answers, and the crew that shows up is ours.
Flat and Low Slope Systems We Install
TPO Single Ply Membrane
TPO is the workhorse of modern commercial roofing, and for good reason. Its white reflective surface cuts summer cooling loads, its heat welded seams are stronger than the membrane itself, and it handles the ponding, UV exposure, and thermal cycling that flat roofs endure. We install fully adhered and mechanically fastened TPO systems with the insulation and tapered packages that put slope where drains need it.
Restorative Coating Systems
If your existing roof is sound but aging, a fluid applied coating system can buy it a new service life at a fraction of replacement cost. Seams get reinforced, repairs get made, and the whole field gets a seamless, reflective, warrantied surface. No tear off, minimal disruption, and a meaningful drop in summer energy bills.
Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Attention
Flat roofs rarely fail overnight. They telegraph problems for months before the first drip reaches a ceiling tile:
- Ponding water that stays 48 hours after rain
- Open or fishmouthed seams, blisters, and soft spots underfoot
- Cracked pitch pans and failing sealant at penetrations
- Clogged or slow drains and scuppers
- Stained ceiling tiles, musty smells, or humidity spikes inside
- Energy bills creeping up as wet insulation loses its R value
A free assessment catches these while they are maintenance items instead of emergencies. You get photos, findings, and options in plain English, priced in writing.
Maintenance Programs That Protect Your Warranty
Every commercial roof warranty assumes the roof is being maintained, and carriers love pointing at neglected drains when a claim shows up. Our maintenance programs put your roof on a schedule: spring and fall inspections, drain and scupper clearing, seam and flashing checks, sealant touch ups, and a documented condition report you can hand to ownership, your insurer, or a future buyer. Buildings with maintained roofs simply do not have roof emergencies at the same rate, and the paper trail pays for itself the first time you need it.
Built Around Your Operation, Not Ours
Commercial work lives and dies on logistics. Our project managers coordinate staging, material loading, dumpster placement, and access with your operating hours so the store stays open, the tenants stay happy, and the loading dock stays clear. Noisy phases get scheduled around your business, safety plans are documented, and our crews are our own people, the same teams that earn our residential reviews. When weather threatens mid project, your roof is watertight before we leave the deck, every day.
Storm Damage and Commercial Insurance Claims
Hail and wind do not check zoning before they land. When storms damage membranes, coatings, HVAC curbs, or metal edges, our storm damage team documents everything with the same rigor we bring to residential claims and works alongside your carrier's adjuster to get scope agreed on the roof. From emergency dry in to completed restoration, one local team handles the whole timeline.
