Commercial vs. Residential Roofing Differences

Commercial vs. Residential Roofing Differences

Understanding Roofing Systems with 303 Construction

At 303 Construction, we specialize in both residential and commercial roofing in Denver. While both require durability and weather resistance, they have key differences in materials, design, and installation.

1. Roofing Materials

Residential Roofing

  • Asphalt shingles (most common)
  • Metal roofing (for longevity & energy efficiency)
  • Tile roofing (for durability & aesthetics)

Commercial Roofing

  • TPO & EPDM roofing (flat roof systems)
  • Modified bitumen & built-up roofs (for waterproofing)
  • Metal roofing (for large industrial buildings)

2. Roof Slope & Design

  • Residential roofs typically have a steep slope for water runoff.
  • Commercial roofs are often flat or low-slope to accommodate HVAC systems and solar panels.

3. Installation & Maintenance

  • Residential roofs are quicker to install but need shingle maintenance.
  • Commercial roofs require specialized coatings & regular inspections to prevent leaks.

4. Cost Differences

  • Residential roofing is cheaper per square foot but requires periodic replacements.
  • Commercial roofing is more expensive initially but lasts longer with maintenance.

  • Experienced in both residential & commercial roofing
  • Customized solutions for every property
