Old flat roof keeps leaking after multiple repairs?
Why patches fail on Kenwood commercial roofs and what to do instead.
Your commercial building in Kenwood has a flat roof that's been patched three times in two years. Water still finds a way inside. You're worried about ruining your inventory or equipment, and you're tired of throwing money away on repairs that don't last.
Your flat roof membrane is likely shot. When a roof leaks after several repairs, patches can't bond to old, brittle material. Water travels under the surface, finding weak spots far from the last patch. In Kenwood, freeze-thaw cycles and heavy downpours speed up the damage. The insulation underneath may be soaked. A core sample cuts through the roof to check. If the insulation is wet, patching won't work.
Cost depends on roof size, material, and insulation condition. A full replacement for a commercial flat roof in Kenwood typically takes a few days to a week. If the insulation is dry, a silicone restoration coating can be a lower-cost option that lasts 10-15 years. But wet insulation means a full tear-off. The only way to know is a core sample.
Stop paying for patches. The next step is a core sample. TruRoof can cut a small section and check the insulation. We'll give you an honest assessment. If a coating will work, you'll know. If a replacement is needed, you'll get a clear plan and timeline. Call before the next storm hits.
Once the roof is fixed, you can stop worrying about leaks. Your inventory stays dry. Your building is protected from Ohio's weather. No more emergency calls, no more buckets in the hallway. Just a solid roof that works.
What people in Kenwood 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 Kenwood 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.
