Commercial roofing systems for Florida buildings
TPO Single-Ply
The workhorse for Florida flat roofs. Heat-welded seams, reflective white membrane that cuts cooling load in the Florida sun, 20 to 30 year service life.

Flat Roof Replacement
Full tear-off and rebuild when restoration no longer pencils out. Phased scheduling keeps tenants operating through the project.
Plan a replacement →
Roof Coatings
Silicone restoration extends a sound roof 10 to 15 years at a fraction of replacement cost, and is typically classified as maintenance for tax purposes.
See if you qualify →
Repair & Maintenance

Commercial clients, in their own words
"We manage 14 properties across Central Florida and the roof file used to be my biggest liability. JA Edwards put all of them on a documented inspection schedule. When the board asks about roof condition, I forward the report. Done."
"They re-roofed our retail building without closing us a single day. Night staging, sections phased so the entrance was never blocked, and the crew lead texted me the schedule every morning. Customers never knew it was happening."
"Two other bids said full replacement at $190K+. JA Edwards core-tested the roof, showed us the deck was sound, and restored it with a silicone system for a third of that. Five years of leak-free since, with the warranty to back it."

Commercial roofing questions, answered
TPO installation in the Florida market typically runs $6 to $12 per square foot depending on insulation requirements, deck condition and access. Silicone coating restoration runs $3 to $6 per square foot. The honest answer for your building requires a core test and moisture scan, which our free assessment includes, because two roofs with identical square footage can differ by six figures based on what is under the membrane.
The deciding factor is what the moisture scan and core samples show. If less than about 25% of the insulation is wet and the deck is sound, a coating system typically restores the roof for a third of replacement cost and extends life 10 to 15 years. Beyond that threshold, you are coating over a problem. We present both numbers with the test data and let the math decide.
In nearly every case, yes. We phase sections, schedule tear-off for nights and weekends where noise matters, and plan staging so entrances, loading docks and drive-thrus stay open. The operating plan is documented before work starts so tenants and staff know exactly what to expect each day.
The combination is brutal: extreme UV degrades membranes from above, daily thermal cycling fatigues seams and flashings, and the summer storm pattern tests drainage nearly every afternoon. Coastal markets like Tampa and Jacksonville add salt air corrosion to the mix. This is why seam condition and drainage get more attention in our assessments than membrane age alone.
Yes, extensively. We handle board presentations, reserve study input, multi-building phasing and the documentation trail that board decisions require. For management companies, we run scheduled inspection programs across portfolios so the roof file on every property stays current, regardless of which Florida market the property sits in.
Manufacturer warranties on TPO systems run 20 to 30 years depending on membrane thickness and the warranty tier purchased. Coating systems carry 10 to 20 year manufacturer warranties. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation itself. All warranties are registered and delivered in your documentation package, and we explain what each one actually covers before you sign, because the difference between a material-only and a full-system warranty matters when a claim happens.
Yes. Commercial policies cover hail and wind damage the same way, and the documentation standards are stricter. We document commercial storm damage to carrier specifications, support the claim with moisture scans and core data, and attend the adjuster inspection. See our storm damage page for the full process.

Commercial roofing in Florida
is an asset decision
A commercial roof in Florida is not a construction project, it is a capital asset with a service life, a maintenance cost curve, and a replacement number that belongs in your reserve planning. The contractors who treat it that way are rare, which is why so many Florida buildings end up with a replacement quote for a roof that a $40,000 coating system would have carried another decade.
JA Edwards of America has handled commercial roofing across Florida since 2004, holding both the general contractor and roofing licenses (CGC1534283, CCC1334804) that let us manage the full scope in-house. We operate from four offices, in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and Port St. Lucie, so the crew on your building is local to it. Our commercial crews have worked on Disney property, which says what the vetting, insurance and execution standards look like better than any adjective could. The assessment that starts every engagement includes core samples and a moisture scan, because the decision between repairing, restoring and replacing a flat roof lives under the membrane, not on top of it.
Florida punishes flat roofs in a specific way: extreme UV from above, seam-fatiguing thermal swings every single day, and a summer storm pattern that finds every drainage flaw by August. Coastal markets add salt air corrosion on top of that. Membranes age faster here, and the maintenance schedule that protects a 25-year service life in a milder climate is not optional in this one. That is why we push maintenance programs for commercial clients and property portfolios: a documented semi-annual inspection costs a fraction of the deductible on the leak it prevents.
If you own or manage commercial property anywhere in Florida, start with the free assessment. You get the core data, the moisture scan results and a written report with real numbers for each path forward. For storm-related commercial damage, the storm damage process applies to commercial claims as well, and you can reach the team nearest you in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville or Port St. Lucie. Call (407) 677-7663 and ask for the commercial team.
