Replacing Worn Roofs With New Membrane or Metal Systems
We provide commercial roofing services in Kearney: TPO, EPDM, industrial, and metal roof installs, plus full replacement when an old roof is past repair.
Replacement
Phased Tear-Off
Our Commercial Roofing Services in Kearney
Each of our commercial roofing services in Kearney starts with the same roof walk. The system depends on the slope, the deck, and the building.
TPO Roofing
Heat-welded white membrane for flat warehouses, offices, and stores, in 45, 60, or 80 mil with cover board for hail. Every lap is probed after welding, and walkway pads go on the paths to rooftop units.
Kearney TPO roofing
EPDM Roofing
Rubber membrane with primed, taped laps, adhered or ballasted, for plain low-slope roofs that see hard freezes. Shrinking edges and old cemented laps are the usual reasons owners call.
Kearney EPDM roofing
Industrial Roofing
Plant and feed mill roofs with exhaust-rated membrane, walkway pads, and replacement phased around production. A written safety and access plan covers crane lifts and hot work.
Kearney industrial roofing
Commercial Metal Roofing
Standing-seam and exposed-fastener steel for shops and ag buildings, plus retrofit framing over flat roofs. Ventilation and vapor control keep condensation off what sits below.

Commercial Roof Replacement
Full tear-off to the deck, new insulation, and a new system when wet board or failed seams cover most of the roof. Work runs one section at a time so the building stays dry.

Commercial Roof Replacement in Kearney: Repair, Recover, or Replace
Core cuts decide which of these three paths fits. Replacement is the one we install when the roof underneath is wet or worn through.

Not Sure Which Path Your Roof Needs?
Send the address and we will walk the roof, take core cuts, and show you whether repair, recover, or replacement fits. You get the core results in writing with the price.
How Every Service Job Moves From Roof Walk to Handover
The same five steps run under every system we install, from a small storefront roof to a full plant replacement.
On The Roof
Around The Building
- On The Roof
Inspect Your Roof
A full roof walk, seam and flashing probes, and core cuts give us the facts: insulation moisture, layer count, deck condition, and drain heights.
- Around The Building
Check Permits and Access
Permit questions go to the City of Kearney Development Services through its Citizenserve portal. Crane, dumpster, and delivery spots get marked at the building, and tenants get a written schedule.
- On The Roof
Remove and Dry In
Worn layers come off in sections no larger than the crew can cover again before leaving, so the building stays dry overnight.
- On The Roof
Build the New Assembly
Tapered insulation, cover board, membrane or panels, and new flashing at every curb and wall go down section by section. Drains and edge metal are reset to the new roof height.
- Around The Building
Hand Over the Records
You get the system details, drain locations, and a marked roof plan after we walk the finished roof together. Spring and fall check dates go on that plan.
Questions About Roof Replacement and Permits
Short answers on every row.
When to replace a commercial roof in Kearney instead of repairing it?
When leaks are widespread
Replace it when leaks keep coming back in many places, the membrane has turned brittle or shrunk, or core cuts show wet insulation across much of the roof. A few leaks at seams or flashings are repair work. A moisture survey shows how much is wet; once repairs would cover most of the roof, replacement is the better buy.
Can a retail strip stay open during commercial roof replacement?
Yes, bay by bay
Yes, when the work is phased by tenant bay. Only the area that can be covered again before the crew leaves gets torn off. Chutes and dumpsters sit away from storefront doors and parking, tenants hear about loud work over their space ahead of time, and interior protection goes up where stock sits.
Does a commercial roof replacement in Kearney need a permit?
Ask the City first
Ask before work starts. The City of Kearney handles permits through Development Services and its Citizenserve online portal, and its permit list covers new construction, additions, and certain repairs. We confirm with Development Services whether your reroof scope needs a permit as part of planning the job.
Which building code applies to a reroof in Kearney?
2018 IBC and IEBC
Nebraska law adopts the 2018 International Building Code and the 2018 International Existing Building Code by reference, under Neb. Rev. Stat. 71-6403. The existing building code covers work on buildings already standing. Cities can enforce a local code that conforms generally, so the City building office confirms which edition applies.
How are bids for commercial roof replacement compared?
Same system, line by line
Put the bids side by side line by line. Each one should name the membrane or panel, insulation type and thickness, how much is removed, the flashing scope, and drainage changes. When two bids name different systems, ask each contractor to price the same assembly so the numbers mean the same thing.
What happens to the old roof during a full replacement?
Removed and hauled
Old membrane, insulation, and any extra layers are removed down to the deck, section by section, and hauled off in dumpsters placed away from entrances. Rusted or soft deck areas found during tear-off are repaired before new insulation goes down, and you see photos of anything we replace.
Can a recover save money over a full replacement?
When cores are dry
It can when the existing roof is one layer, dry, and well attached, because nothing gets torn off or hauled away. Core cuts decide it. A recover over wet insulation traps the moisture under the new roof, so wet areas are removed first or the whole roof is replaced.
Which roof system goes on after a tear-off?
Depends on slope and use
Low-slope roofs get TPO or EPDM over new tapered insulation, and sloped or steel-framed buildings get metal panels. Plants that vent oils or dust get a membrane grade rated for that exposure. The choice is written into the scope with the thickness, attachment, and flashing details, so you know exactly what goes back on.
