Edge And Parapet
Rake trim and eave closures loosen in wind, letting rain and snow blow into the building along the edge.

As a Cedar Lake commercial roofing contractor, we install metal roofs on pole buildings and shops and TPO or EPDM on flat-roofed businesses around town.
Cedar Lake commercial roofing work often means long metal roofs on pole buildings, barns, and equipment shops.

Pole buildings span wide open floors with panels screwed straight to purlins. Over years of heat and cold, those screws loosen, washers crack, and condensation from inside rusts the panels from below.
We look at the building from inside and out, then decide between re-fastening, replacing panels, or a new roof over insulation and a vapor retarder.
Metal and flat roofs around Cedar Lake fail at five familiar zones, most of them tied to fasteners and moisture.
Rake trim and eave closures loosen in wind, letting rain and snow blow into the building along the edge.
Exposed screws back out as panels expand and shrink, and cracked washers let water drip along every row.
Gutters fill with leaves and ice, and water backs up under the lower panel ends where rust starts first.
Vent pipes, exhaust fans, and skylight panels added over the years leak at sealant that has dried and split.
Condensation drips from the panel undersides over heated shops or livestock areas, rusting purlins and fasteners from inside.
The right fix adds years to a pole building or shop without replacing more than the roof needs.
Re-fastening with new, larger screws and washers closes the drip lines on panels that are still solid.
Panels rusted through at the ends are swapped for new ones matched to the existing profile.
Insulation and a vapor retarder under new panels stop the drips that rust the roof from inside.
Office and storefront wings with flat roofs get TPO or EPDM in the same job as the metal.
Cedar Lake properties often need two systems, one for the metal building and one for the flat section, and both are planned on the same roof walk.

Send the address and the size of the building. We will check from inside and on top, then tell you whether new fasteners, new panels, or a new roof over insulation fits the building best.
Call UsMetal building work starts inside, where condensation and rust tell the real story.
We check the panel undersides, purlins, and insulation for condensation and rust before going up on the roof.
On top, every screw row, lap, and penetration is checked, and flat sections get cores and moisture readings.
The scope lays out re-fastening, panel replacement, or a new roof over insulation, with the reasons for each.
Work is done section by section, trim and gutters are reset, and a final walk with you covers both roofs.
For exposed-fastener roofs, the scope notes when screws and washers should be checked again, so drips are caught before rust spreads.

Yes. Metal roofs go on shops and pole buildings, and TPO or EPDM on flat-roofed businesses. Each job starts with a roof inspection and a check for wet insulation or a damaged deck, and the system is matched to slope and use.
Cost depends on the building size, whether panels are re-fastened or replaced, insulation and vapor control, and any flat sections roofed in the same job. The roof walk sets the scope and the price.
Pole buildings and shops in Cedar Lake are part of our regular area from Merrillville. Call or send the address, and the visit includes a look inside the building.
We handle barns, equipment shops, and storage buildings around Cedar Lake, with exposed-fastener or standing-seam panels chosen for the building and how it is used.
Often, yes. Solid panels with loose screws get new fasteners and washers, and only panels rusted through at the ends are swapped. The roof walk shows which applies.
Flat office or storefront wings usually take TPO or EPDM, installed in the same job as the metal roof. Where the two meet, the panel ends and the membrane are flashed as one detail, so water coming off the metal roof does not find its way under the flat section.
