Old flat roof leaking again after multiple repairs?
Straight answers for your commercial building in Florence, KY — stop wasting money on patches.
Your Florence warehouse or office has a flat roof that's 30 years old. You've patched it three times in two years, but water still drips onto inventory after every heavy rain. You're tired of the cycle and worried about real damage.
When a flat roof leaks after multiple repairs, the membrane is usually shot. Water gets trapped under the old layers. It rots the insulation board underneath. You can patch the top all day, but if the core is wet, new leaks will just pop up somewhere else. A core sample test takes minutes and shows you exactly what's happening inside your roof.
A full commercial roof replacement on a mid-size building in Florence often falls between $15,000 and $40,000. The final number depends on roof size, how wet the insulation is, and whether the decking underneath is damaged. If the insulation is dry and the membrane is just aging, a silicone restoration coating may cost less. Either way, it fixes the root problem. More patches do not.
This week, get a core sample to check for wet insulation. Do not let another crew patch the same spots. That is throwing money away. If the insulation is soaked, call TruRoof for a flat roof replacement or silicone coating quote. We work on commercial buildings across Boone County and know how Kentucky weather beats up low-slope roofs.
When the job is done, you walk into your building after a storm and the floor is dry. No buckets, no tarps, no last-minute calls. Your inventory stays safe. You stop thinking about the roof and get back to running your business.
What people in Florence say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
Other things people in Florence ask
can you reroof over an existing flat roof
A recover works when there is one roof layer and dry insulation. A core sample tells us in an hour.
how much does a commercial roof cost
We price by square footage, system and insulation and give you a written proposal you can put in front of the board.
TPO vs EPDM flat roof
TPO is white and reflects heat, which helps cooling costs in summer. EPDM is black rubber and handles ponding water well. For most Cincinnati commercial buildings, TPO is the default choice. Get a roof assessment to match the membrane to your roof's slope and drainage.
roof coating vs replacement flat roof
Coatings work when the roof is still structurally sound and the membrane is intact. If there are multiple leaks, ponding, or wet insulation underneath, a coating won't fix it. Get a moisture scan and a core sample before deciding.
