As a Windsor Locks commercial roofing contractor, we install and replace TPO, EPDM, and metal roofs on industrial buildings, hangars, and warehouses with heavy rooftop equipment.
Airport Area
Windsor Locks Commercial Roofing Around Rooftop Equipment
Windsor Locks commercial roofing work near Bradley International Airport covers large industrial and hangar roofs, many crowded with exhaust fans, makeup air units, and ductwork. Each of those pieces is a hole in the roof that needs its own flashing.
Open land around these buildings brings wind across the roof edges, so attachment and edge metal matter as much as the membrane. We plan both with the equipment layout in hand.
- Every curb and duct flashed into the membrane
- Edge metal and attachment set for open exposure
- Walkway pads on service paths
- Hangar and plant roofs near the airport
Roof Trouble
Equipment Leaks That Bring Commercial Roofing Calls in Windsor Locks
Busy roofs leak where equipment meets membrane. Here is what staff see and what we find.
Leaks Along A Service Path

What The Work Changes
What Commercial Roofing in Windsor Locks Fixes Around Equipment
A new roof on an equipment-heavy building handles the details that cause most of its leaks.
Curbs Raised And Reflashed
Curbs are raised where new insulation makes the roof thicker, then flashed into the membrane so units sit above the waterline.
Pads Where Technicians Walk
Walkway pads run from the hatch to each unit, taking foot traffic off the membrane on the routes service crews use.
Perimeter Held Down Tight
New edge metal and added attachment along the perimeter keep the membrane flat in high wind across open land.
One Plan With Mechanical Crews
Unit lifts, disconnects, and restarts are scheduled with your mechanical contractor so equipment is off for as short a time as possible.

How Commercial Roofing Runs on a Windsor Locks Plant
Equipment-heavy roofs need the mechanical side planned as carefully as the roofing.
- On The Roof
Inspect Your Roof
We walk the roof, list every curb, fan, duct, and pipe, and take core cuts across the field and near equipment where leaks have been reported.
- At The Building
Coordinate The Equipment
Units that must be lifted or disconnected are scheduled with your mechanical contractor, and crane picks are set around shifts.
- On The Roof
Roof And Flash Each Curb
New insulation and membrane go down in sections, curbs are raised where needed, and each penetration is flashed into the new roof.
- Final Check
Pad The Service Routes
Walkway pads go down on service paths, edge metal is fastened, and the roof is walked with you before closeout.
- On The Roof
Remove Dead Penetrations
Abandoned stacks, curbs, and pipes are taken out and the deck is patched, so the new roof has fewer holes to flash.

Local Questions
Windsor Locks Commercial Roofing Questions
What plant and facility managers in town ask about roofing around equipment.
Is commercial roofing available for industrial buildings in Windsor Locks?
Yes. We install and replace TPO, EPDM, and metal roofs on industrial and commercial buildings in Windsor Locks. Roofs with heavy equipment get curb, duct, and pipe flashings tied into the new membrane, and work is planned around production and shipping.
More roofing questionsDo rooftop units have to be removed for a reroof?
Not always. Units on low curbs are often lifted so the curb can be raised and reflashed, while others are flashed in place. The core cuts and the new insulation thickness decide which.
How do you keep technicians from damaging a new roof?
Walkway pads run from the roof hatch to each unit, so foot traffic stays on the pads. We also ask service crews to keep tools and panels off the open membrane.
What holds a membrane down on a windy, open roof?
Fastener spacing, adhesive, and edge metal are set for the exposure. Perimeters and corners get tighter attachment because wind pulls hardest there.
Should unused curbs and stacks be removed during a reroof?
Yes. Old penetrations that no longer serve equipment are cut out and the deck is filled, which removes flashing details that would otherwise need upkeep.
How are hangar roofs different from warehouse roofs?
Hangars often have long clear spans and large door openings, which affect drainage and edge details. The roof systems are the same, but edge metal and attachment get extra attention.
