Commercial Roof Repair in Myrtle Beach
Weather Shield Roofing repairs leaking business roofs across Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand: TPO, PVC and EPDM membrane, modified bitumen, built-up and commercial metal roofs. Retail centers, restaurants, hotels, offices, warehouses, churches and HOA buildings. Every repair starts with a free on-site look at the roof and a written plan.

If your business roof is leaking right now
Keep people away from soaked ceiling tiles and wet floors. If water is near lights, outlets or equipment, have your maintenance staff or an electrician shut off power to that area.
Move inventory, files and equipment out of the drip path and catch the water.
Take photos and video inside, and write down the date, time and the weather. Leaks that start with wind-driven rain often come in at walls and flashing; leaks during steady rain often point to seams, drains or the open field of the roof.
Do not send employees onto a wet or windy roof.
Find your roof warranty before anyone cuts into the membrane. Many manufacturer warranties set rules for who may repair the roof and how quickly a leak must be reported.

Where Grand Strand Commercial Roofs Leak, by Roof Type
Heat, salt air, wind-driven rain and rooftop equipment traffic wear each roof type out in its own places. This is where we look first, and what the repair usually is.

TPO and PVC membrane
Where it leaks
Seams that split or never fully welded, punctures around rooftop units where service techs walk, flashing pulling away at curbs, walls and pipe boots, and membrane shrinking back from the roof edge.
The usual repair
Clean the membrane and heat-weld a patch or cover strip of matching material over the failed seam or puncture, then re-flash the curbs and penetrations that are letting water in.
Seam tape or adhesive letting go, rubber that has shrunk and pulled the flashing tight across inside corners and walls, and punctures from foot traffic or debris.
The usual repair
Clean and prime the rubber, apply EPDM seam tape or a cured cover patch, and re-terminate flashing that has pulled loose.
Blisters, split laps, a cracked or alligatored surface where the granules or gravel have washed off, and open flashing where the roof meets a wall.
The usual repair
Cut out and patch blisters, re-seal laps with compatible material, and rebuild the wall flashing. Cracking across the whole roof points to a coating or replacement conversation instead of patches.
Fasteners that have backed out or rusted, dried-out sealant at panel laps and ridge caps, rust at panel ends and trim from salt air, and leaks around skylights and pipe penetrations.
The usual repair
Replace failed fasteners with new gasketed fasteners, re-seal laps and ridge caps, and replace corroded trim or panels. Widespread rust is a restoration or replacement decision, not a patch.
Leaks come from a few spots: seams, flashing, curbs, drains or penetrations
The membrane or metal is sound across most of the roof
The insulation under the membrane is dry outside the leak areas
The roof still has useful life left and repairs are not repeating
Replacement or restoration is the better spend when
Leaks keep showing up in new places after each repair
Wet insulation runs across large sections of the roof
The membrane is brittle, cracked or shrinking across the whole roof
The roof is near the end of its service life and repair costs keep adding up
When replacement is the better answer, see flat roof replacement and the TPO vs EPDM vs PVC comparison. Storm damage to a business roof? Photos and the storm date help your insurance claim, so take them before cleanup.
For Property Managers, HOA Boards and Church Committees
The person who calls about a commercial leak is often not the person who approves the spend. What you get from Weather Shield Roofing is built for that:
Written findings with photos of each problem area, so the people who were not on the roof can see what the crew saw
Repair options in writing, and a plain note on when replacement is the better spend, so a board or committee can vote on one document
A certificate of insurance on request for your property manager, HOA or church files
Scheduling around tenants, guests, services and deliveries
Ultimate design wind speeds the SC coastal building code requires commercial roofs in Horry and Georgetown Counties to resist (ASCE 7 Risk Category II–III).
When your business needs a reliable commercial roofing contractor near Myrtle Beach, Weather Shield Roofing delivers the expertise, materials, and service your property deserves. As a top-rated commercial roofing company serving the Grand Strand since 2022, we help local businesses plan roof installations, repairs, replacements, and maintenance programs designed for South Carolina's demanding coastal climate.
Commercial roofing requires different expertise than residential work. Flat and low-slope roofs demand specialized materials, precise drainage planning, and installation techniques that prevent ponding water and premature failure. Your business can't afford roof problems disrupting operations, damaging inventory, or threatening employee and customer safety. Weather Shield Roofing understands these stakes and delivers commercial roofing solutions built to last.
Whether you manage a retail center on Highway 17, own a restaurant on Restaurant Row, operate a warehouse in the Myrtle Beach industrial park, or oversee a hotel along the oceanfront, we provide commercial roofing services tailored to your specific building type, budget, and operational requirements. Our team works around your business schedule, minimizing disruption while maximizing protection.

Commercial installation planning
Commercial Roof Installation Cost, Systems & Scope
If you are comparing commercial roofing systems or trying to understand commercial roof inspection cost before a new roof, start with the building conditions that actually change the number. Weather Shield Roofing evaluates the roof assembly, drainage, business schedule, and coastal exposure before recommending a commercial roof install. For new commercial roof installations, that scope prevents surprise costs before crews, materials, and tenant notices are scheduled.
Inspection and Scope
Every commercial roof install starts with roof access, drainage, membrane condition, flashing, penetrations, wet insulation, and business-disruption planning.
We compare TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, metal, coatings, and flat roof replacement options before recommending a commercial roofing system.
Business Continuity
Retail, hotel, restaurant, warehouse, HOA, and office projects can be phased around guest traffic, tenants, deliveries, and active operations.
What Changes the Commercial Roof Installation Price?
A square-foot estimate is only useful after the roof is inspected. Two buildings with the same footprint can have very different installation costs if one needs wet insulation removal, deck repair, drainage upgrades, or phased work around customers and tenants.
Roof square footage, number of roof sections, height, and material staging access
Tear-off depth, wet insulation, damaged decking, and whether roof-over is allowed
Drainage fixes, tapered insulation, scuppers, gutters, curbs, and penetration flashing
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, metal, or coating system specifications
Wind-uplift fastening, edge metal, warranty length, and manufacturer requirements
Night, weekend, phased, or occupied-building scheduling requirements
Myrtle Beach commercial roofing faces unique challenges that demand experienced contractors using appropriate materials and installation methods. Our coastal location creates conditions that shorten roof lifespan for buildings with inadequate protection.
Hurricane Force Winds
Commercial roofs present large surface areas vulnerable to wind uplift. Weather Shield Roofing installs systems rated for 120-150+ mph winds using mechanically fastened or fully adhered methods meeting coastal building codes. Heat-welded seams on TPO and PVC prevent wind-driven rain infiltration.
Salt Air Corrosion
Properties near the Atlantic Ocean face constant salt air exposure that corrodes metal components and degrades many materials. We select materials specifically for coastal durability: stainless steel fasteners, aluminum flashings, and membrane systems proven in marine environments.
Intense UV Exposure
Myrtle Beach averages 210+ sunny days annually with intense UV radiation that degrades roofing materials. White TPO and PVC membranes reflect up to 90% of solar radiation, reducing roof surface temperatures 50-60 degrees while cutting cooling costs 25-40%.
Heavy Rainfall
South Carolina receives 50+ inches of annual rainfall, often in intense tropical downpours. Commercial flat roofs require proper drainage design, adequate drain capacity, and watertight membrane systems. Ponding water accelerates roof deterioration and adds structural load.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Roofing
Get answers to common questions about commercial roofing in Myrtle Beach.
What commercial roofing systems do you install in Myrtle Beach?
Weather Shield Roofing installs all major commercial roofing systems including TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM rubber membrane, PVC roofing, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), and commercial metal roofing. For most Myrtle Beach commercial properties, we recommend TPO or PVC for flat roofs due to their superior heat reflection, hurricane resistance, and longevity in coastal environments. Our team evaluates your specific building, budget, and requirements to recommend the optimal system.
How much does commercial roofing cost in Myrtle Beach?
Commercial roofing costs vary based on roof size, material selection, building height, and project complexity, plus tear-off depth, wet insulation, deck repairs, drainage work and the warranty level you choose. Two buildings with the same footprint can price very differently, so a number is only reliable after someone has been on the roof. We provide detailed written estimates with transparent pricing after a free on-site assessment. Weather Shield Roofing does not offer financing.
What affects commercial roof installation cost in Myrtle Beach?
Commercial roof installation cost depends on roof size, tear-off requirements, wet insulation, decking condition, roof access, drainage, edge metal, wind-uplift specifications, membrane thickness, warranty length, and whether the work must be phased around business hours. Coastal buildings may also need upgraded fasteners, flashing, and edge details because salt air and wind exposure are harder on commercial roofing materials.
Is a commercial roof inspection free before installation?
Weather Shield Roofing provides free on-site assessments for commercial roof installation, replacement, and repair estimates. The assessment documents visible roof condition, leak points, drainage concerns, existing system type, and recommended next steps. More specialized inspection reports, moisture scans, or engineering documentation may require a custom scope when a property sale, insurance claim, or warranty dispute needs deeper reporting.
Which commercial roofing materials work best near the coast?
For many Myrtle Beach businesses, TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and standing seam metal are the most common commercial roofing materials. TPO roof installation is popular for reflective flat roofs, PVC is useful around grease or chemical exposure, EPDM can be cost-effective on complex roofs, and metal is strong when a building needs long service life and wind resistance.
When should a business choose TPO roof installation?
TPO roof installation is a strong fit for many low-slope commercial buildings that need energy efficiency, heat-welded seams, and good value. It is often used on retail buildings, offices, warehouses, medical offices, and hospitality properties. If an existing TPO roof is aging, leaking at seams, or holding water, Weather Shield Roofing can compare TPO roof replacement against repair, coating, or other commercial roofing systems.
Do you handle commercial metal roof repair?
Yes. Weather Shield Roofing handles commercial metal roof repair for leaks around seams, fasteners, penetrations, skylights, ridge caps, and edge details. When a metal roof has broader coating failure, corrosion, or repeated leak points, we can also evaluate restoration, coating, or replacement options.
How do you find where a commercial flat roof is leaking?
On a flat roof the wet spot inside is often not under the hole. Water gets under the membrane and travels along the deck before it drips. We start at the seams, flashing, curbs, drains and penetrations near and uphill of the wet area, then work outward. On large roofs or roofs with wet insulation, moisture testing may need a separate scope.
Should I repair or replace my commercial roof?
Repair usually makes sense when leaks come from a few spots like seams, flashing or drains, the membrane is sound across most of the roof, and the insulation is dry. Replacement or restoration is the better spend when leaks keep moving after each repair, wet insulation runs across large sections, or the membrane is brittle and cracked everywhere. Weather Shield Roofing puts both options in writing after a free on-site assessment.
Will a repair void my commercial roof warranty?
It can. Many manufacturer warranties set rules for who may repair the roof and require leaks to be reported within a set time. Before anyone cuts into the membrane, find your warranty, read the repair and notice terms, and call the manufacturer if you are unsure. Share the warranty with us at the assessment so the repair plan follows it.
How long does commercial roof replacement take?
Commercial roof replacement timelines depend on building size and complexity. A typical 10,000-20,000 square foot building takes 1-2 weeks. Larger commercial properties may require 3-4 weeks. We schedule work to minimize business disruption, offering phased installation, weekend work, and off-hours options when needed. Weather can affect timing during hurricane season, but we monitor forecasts closely and protect your building if unexpected rain occurs.
Do you provide emergency commercial roof repair?
Yes, Weather Shield Roofing offers 24/7 emergency commercial roof repair throughout Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. Storm damage, severe leaks, and urgent situations require immediate response to protect your business, inventory, and equipment. Our emergency team provides rapid temporary repairs and tarping to prevent further damage, followed by permanent repairs scheduled at your convenience.
What warranty do you offer on commercial roofing?
Commercial roofing installations include manufacturer material warranties typically ranging from 15-30 years depending on the system and specifications. Premium TPO and PVC systems offer up to 25-30 year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties. Additionally, Weather Shield Roofing provides our own workmanship warranty covering installation quality. We register all warranties and provide complete documentation for your records.
Can you work around our business operations?
Absolutely. We understand that business continuity is critical. Our commercial roofing teams are experienced in working around active businesses, scheduling during off-hours, weekends, or phased installation approaches. Safety protocols protect your employees, customers, and property throughout the project. We coordinate closely with building managers and business owners to minimize disruption while maintaining project timeline.
Do you offer commercial roof maintenance programs?
Yes, our preventive maintenance programs extend commercial roof lifespan by 30-50% and prevent costly emergency repairs. Programs include scheduled semi-annual inspections, debris removal, drain clearing, minor repairs, and detailed condition reports. Regular maintenance also maintains warranty compliance. Programs are customized to your building needs with monthly or annual billing options available.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial roofing?
Weather Shield Roofing is fully licensed for commercial roofing in South Carolina with comprehensive general liability insurance ($2 million), workers compensation coverage, and umbrella policies. We provide certificates of insurance upon request. Our team follows OSHA safety protocols and maintains all required contractor credentials for commercial projects.
Does South Carolina require commercial roofers to be licensed?
Yes. Commercial roofing in South Carolina requires a licensed contractor through the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR), and commercial projects above statutory thresholds require a general contractor license with the appropriate classification, plus liability insurance and workers' compensation. Before hiring any commercial roofer, confirm their SC license classification, insurance certificates, and manufacturer certification. Weather Shield Roofing maintains all required SC credentials and provides documentation on request.
Who is the largest commercial roofing company near Myrtle Beach?
Several regional and national firms handle large-scale commercial and industrial roofing along the Carolina coast, and the right fit depends on your building, not company size. For most Grand Strand businesses — retail centers, hotels, warehouses, offices, and medical or HOA properties — a licensed, GAF Certified local contractor like Weather Shield Roofing offers faster response, direct accountability, and coastal-specific system knowledge, with the ability to phase work around your operations and provide 24/7 emergency service.
