Commercial Roofing Services in Columbia, SC

Your commercial roof protects your business, your employees, your inventory, and your bottom line. When it fails, everything underneath is at risk. Sands Roofing & Construction provides full-service commercial roofing for businesses across Columbia, Lexington, and the SC Midlands — including repairs, replacements, maintenance, and new installations for flat roofs, metal roofs, and every major commercial system.

We understand that commercial roofing is different from residential. The systems are different, the stakes are higher, and the timeline matters more. That is why our team is trained and certified in TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, metal, and roof coating systems. We bring the same attention to detail and quality craftsmanship to every commercial project that has earned us a 4.9-star rating from Midlands property owners.

Whether you manage a single retail location or a portfolio of commercial properties, we provide responsive service, transparent pricing, and lasting results. Request your free commercial roof assessment today to get started.

Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Attention

Commercial roof problems rarely fix themselves. The longer you wait, the more expensive the solution becomes. Watch for these warning signs.

Ponding Water

Standing water that remains 48 hours after rain adds hundreds of pounds of stress to your roof deck and degrades membranes over time.

Visible Membrane Damage

Blistering, cracking, or splitting in your roof membrane exposes the insulation and deck to moisture, accelerating deterioration.

Interior Leaks or Water Stains

Water stains on ceiling tiles, damp walls, or active drips indicate a breach in your roofing system that requires immediate attention.

Rising Energy Costs

A failing roof loses its insulating properties, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and driving up energy costs month after month.

Flashing Deterioration

Corroded, loose, or separated flashing around penetrations, curbs, and edges is a leading source of commercial roof leaks.

Roof Age Over 15 Years

Most commercial roofing systems have a useful life of 15 to 25 years. If yours is in that range, proactive assessment can prevent emergency failures.

Commercial Roofing Systems We Install & Service

From single-ply membranes to metal panels, we install, repair, and maintain every major commercial roofing system.

TPO Roofing

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is one of the most popular commercial roofing membranes. Its reflective white surface provides excellent energy efficiency, strong UV resistance, and reliable heat-welded seams that prevent leaks. Ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs.

EPDM Roofing

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a durable synthetic rubber membrane known for exceptional longevity. It performs well in extreme temperatures, resists hail and wind damage, and offers a cost-effective solution for large flat roof areas.

Modified Bitumen

Modified bitumen roofing combines the proven reliability of built-up roofing with modern polymer technology. Its multi-layer construction provides exceptional waterproofing and can be applied using torch, cold adhesive, or self-adhering methods.

Metal Roofing

Standing seam and corrugated metal roofs deliver unmatched durability for commercial properties. Metal systems last 40 to 60 years, withstand high winds and hail, and require minimal maintenance. They are ideal for warehouses, retail, and industrial buildings.

Roof Coatings

Elastomeric and silicone roof coatings extend the life of existing commercial roofs by creating a seamless, reflective barrier. Coatings are a cost-effective alternative to full replacement and can add 10 to 15 years of service life to your current system.

Commercial Warranty Protection

As a TAMKO Diamond Elite contractor, we stand behind every commercial roofing project with strong warranty coverage that protects your investment for years to come.

NDL Manufacturer Warranties — No Dollar Limit warranties available on qualifying TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems, covering materials and labor for 10 to 30 years.

Workmanship Guarantee — Our own workmanship guarantee covers labor and installation quality on every commercial project, giving you lasting peace of mind.
