Why Tucson Businesses Choose Intelligent Design
"Intelligent Design installed a new TPO roof on our 18,000 sq ft office building last fall. The project management was exceptional—clear communication, detailed scheduling, and zero disruption to our operations. Six months later we're seeing the dramatic energy savings they projected, and the roof looks fantastic. Highly recommend for any commercial roofing project."

Commercial Roof Installation
"We've owned commercial properties in Tucson for 25 years and worked with many roofing contractors. Intelligent Design stands out for their professionalism, quality workmanship, and attention to detail. They installed EPDM roofing on two of our retail centers—both projects came in on budget and on schedule with excellent results. They're now our go-to contractor for all commercial roofing needs."

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Commercial Roof Installation in Tucson, AZ
What's involved in commercial roof installation in Tucson?
Commercial roof installation includes structural assessment and preparation, removing old roofing if applicable, installing insulation and vapor barriers, applying the roofing system according to manufacturer specifications, installing proper drainage and flashing, and ensuring all penetrations are waterproofed. In Tucson, we focus on high-wind attachment for monsoons, reflective materials for heat management, and proper slope design to prevent ponding in our occasional heavy rains.
What roofing systems do you install on commercial buildings?
We install TPO, PVC, and EPDM single-ply membranes, modified bitumen systems, built-up roofing (BUR), metal roofing, and spray polyurethane foam (SPF) systems. Each has advantages for different Tucson applications—TPO offers cost-effective reflectivity, PVC provides superior durability and chemical resistance, metal offers longevity and maximum heat reflection. We help you select the optimal system for your building type, budget, and performance goals.
How do you ensure quality commercial roof installation?
Quality installation requires following manufacturer specifications exactly, using experienced commercial crews (our technicians average 17 years experience), implementing multi-stage quality control inspections, ensuring proper attachment for Tucson's high winds, verifying adequate slope for drainage, and conducting final testing. We're fully licensed (ROC 340962, 322375, 296386, 276673) and ensure every installation meets Arizona commercial building codes and warranty requirements.
Can you install roofs on occupied commercial buildings?
Yes, we specialize in installing roofs on occupied buildings with minimal disruption. We coordinate schedules with property managers, work in phases to maintain operations, implement dust and noise control measures, ensure safety for employees and customers, and can work during off-hours when needed. Our project managers maintain constant communication to address any concerns and adjust plans as needed.
What makes a commercial roof installation energy-efficient in Tucson?
Energy-efficient commercial roofs combine highly reflective surfaces (white TPO, PVC, or metal), adequate insulation (R-20 to R-30 or higher), proper ventilation to manage attic heat, and cool roof coatings where applicable. In Tucson where commercial cooling costs are substantial, energy-efficient roofing can reduce these costs by 20-40%, providing significant ROI over the roof's 20-40 year lifespan and dramatically improving building comfort for occupants.
How important is roof slope in commercial roof installation?
Proper slope is critical for drainage, especially in Tucson where monsoon rains can dump 1-2 inches in an hour. Flat roofs need minimum 1/4 inch per foot slope to prevent ponding water, which accelerates roof deterioration and can lead to leaks. We carefully design drainage systems with adequate slope, properly sized drains and scuppers, and consider monsoon intensity in our planning.
What safety measures do you take during installation?
Safety is paramount on commercial projects. We implement comprehensive fall protection systems, secure the work area to protect building occupants, use proper equipment and scaffolding, follow OSHA regulations strictly, conduct daily safety briefings, and maintain full liability insurance. Our safety record reflects our commitment to protecting our workers, your employees, and your property throughout the installation process.
How do you handle rooftop HVAC equipment during installation?
We work carefully around rooftop HVAC units, maintaining their operation when possible and coordinating any necessary shutdowns with facility managers. Installation includes properly flashing around all equipment, creating service access paths with pavers or walkways, ensuring adequate drainage around units, and protecting equipment from installation debris. We can coordinate with HVAC contractors for any equipment relocation or upgrades needed.
What testing do you perform after commercial roof installation?
After installation, we conduct flood testing of drains, electronic leak detection scanning (for some systems), seam testing to verify waterproofness, infrared scanning to identify moisture or insulation issues, and visual inspection of all details. We provide comprehensive documentation including photos, test results, and warranty information. This ensures your new roof is completely watertight before we consider the project complete.
Can you install green roofs or vegetative roofing in Tucson?
While green roofs are less common in Tucson's extreme desert climate due to irrigation demands and plant selection challenges, we can install specialized desert-adapted vegetative roofing systems. These require additional structural support, waterproofing layers, drainage systems, and drought-tolerant plant selection. More commonly, we install reflective "cool roofs" that provide excellent energy efficiency without the maintenance and water demands of vegetative systems.
What documentation do you provide after installation?
You receive comprehensive documentation including manufacturer warranty certificates, our workmanship warranty, building permit and inspection approvals, installation photos, product specifications and data sheets, maintenance guidelines, and a roof asset management plan. This documentation is essential for property records, future maintenance, warranty claims, and property sales. We provide both physical and digital copies for your records.
