We're Here When You Need Us

Commercial Roofing Replacement and Repair

We are here for your commercial roofing needs installing Rubber, TPO, and PVC. We also offer spray-applied commercial roof coatings.  

When trying to choose the most  efficient and effective roofing for your commercial building, you need  to know some facts. Of course, if you hire an experienced and  knowledgeable commercial roofing contractor, they will be able to make  suggestions for what will work best.

But, knowledge is power, and the  following information will help you compare the benefits and  disadvantages of TPO and PVC roofing so you can make the most informed  decision for your business.


What Is TPO Roofing?

TPO stands for Thermoplastic Polyolefin. It is a reflective single-ply roofing membrane that has been on the market for more than 30 years.

TPO is made of a combination of  ethylene-propylene rubber and polypropylene. The two materials are then  bonded through a process called polymerization. These membranes usually  also include a reinforcement layer that provides additional strength.


TPO is typically installed in a few different ways, with two of the most popular being mechanically fastened or fully adhered.


What Is PVC Roofing?

PVC roofing stands for Polyvinyl Chloride. Used for commercial roofs since the  early 1960s, PVC is a reliable single-ply roofing membrane, widely made  as a synthetic plastic polymer. The sheets are comprised of two layers  of PVC with polyester added in between for reinforcement. 

PVC roofing is popular for both  low-sloping and flat roofs and utilizes a heat welding installation  process that creates a permanent bond between sheets.


Weathering

Now that we know the basics of PVC roofing and TPO, let’s talk about their differences in regard to weathering.

In terms of weathering, TPO performs  slightly better than PVC roofing, thanks to numerous advancements over  the past several years.

In addition to weathering qualities,  TPO also offers slightly better tear and break resistance as compared to  PVC roofing. However, PVC also weathers exceptionally well, which is  why it has been a go-to in the commercial roofing industry for more than  60 years.

Residential Roofing Repair and Replacement

We offer replacement and repairs for residential homes including shingles, slate, and box gutter linings. We also work with siding, sofit, and facia.   

The team of McChesney Lueck Roofing performs full residential roof replacement projects on a regular basis. The safety of your home begins and ends with a roof that is in excellent condition. This can sometimes mean a roof replacement is necessary.

We also provide minor repairs depending on how much square foot area of the roof system is damaged. Our roofing contractors are experienced with all types of roofs and roof replacement costs. As a roofing company in Pittsburgh, PA , we mainly focus on asphalt shingle roofs.

Sheet Metal

We offer a full array of sheet metal services including standing seam, flat lock gutters and downspouts.   We also operate quality systems that are as equally advanced as our  fabrication equipment; one of these is our Virtek, a laser scanner. This  cutting edge measuring machine allows us to inspect laser cut and CNC  punched parts in a matter of minutes. Traditionally, quality control  required the technician to manually dimensionally inspect each piece by  hand. The Virtek not only eliminates this need, it also delivers  consistency and reliability, economically ensuring zero defects.  

Gutter Repair

 Having a commercial business means having a  roofing maintenance plan  that will help extend the life of your roofing system. Maintaining the  gutter system of your building helps minimize the need to repair or  replace gutters.   The gutters on your house are almost invisible until there is a problem.  Then, with a heavy rainstorm, you suddenly discover that the gutter is  blocked by debris, as water pours over the side of the gutter and down  the side of your house, entering rooms through window frames, or seeping  down next to your foundation to flood your basement. 

Downspouts installed and repaired

 Whenever your commercial roof has leaks or damages, the immediate worry  is that you’ll need a full roof replacement. Clearly, this is not always  the case. Often times, the remedy could be simple repairs which can  save money.  If it is a leaking gutter that you have, our trained and experienced  installers will come out and access the leaking issue and repair your  gutter to the best of our abilities to make sure your home or office is  safe from water damage. If your gutters and downspouts are old and in need of replacing our  trained and experienced installers will come out and show you various  options and models available for replacing them. They will work with you  on the best solution for your home or office and work with you on an  installation timeframe.
