Service area: Sherwood Park and Strathcona County

Commercial Roofing in Sherwood Park and Strathcona County

Retail, offices and light industrial on the east side of Edmonton, with rooftops full of equipment.

Local roofing

Commercial roofing in Sherwood Park covers a broad mix of buildings. Sherwood Park is the main community in Strathcona County, just east of Edmonton, and its commercial roofs range from retail centres and medical offices to light industrial shops and public buildings. The county also takes in part of Alberta's Industrial Heartland, so industrial site work is close by.

Rain Roofing works across Sherwood Park and the wider county, on everything from a single plaza repair to maintenance programs for multi-building owners.

The same roof after replacement with a new white membrane

Retail and office roofs with a lot on them

Many of Sherwood Park's commercial roofs carry a lot of equipment: rooftop HVAC units, restaurant exhaust, signage supports and satellite mounts, often added over many years. Every one of those is a penetration that has to stay watertight through freeze-thaw.

The most common source of leaks on these roofs is the curb flashing around rooftop units, followed by abandoned penetrations from past tenants. Proper curbs, crickets to move water around the uphill side, and walkway pads on service routes solve most of it.

Roof condition reports for buyers and landlords

Commercial property in Sherwood Park changes hands and tenants regularly, and the roof is one of the largest unknowns in any deal. A condition report gives you a clear answer before you sign: the system and its approximate age, the state of the membrane, flashings and drains, any wet insulation found on a moisture survey, and a realistic estimate of what the roof will need over the next five to ten years. Landlords use the same report to plan capital costs and set expectations with new tenants.

Light industrial and the county's industrial side

Sherwood Park's light industrial areas have shops, warehouses and service businesses, many of them serving the energy sector. Further out, Strathcona County includes part of the Industrial Heartland, where site buildings need prequalified contractors. Rain is registered with ISNetworld, Avetta and ComplyWorks and holds COR, so the same crew can work in town and on site.

Flat roofing systems we install in Strathcona County

Most commercial buildings here suit one of a few systems:

SBS 2-ply on retail, office and light industrial buildings, for durability and simple repair.
TPO on larger, simpler roofs where a light-coloured membrane helps in summer.
PVC around restaurant exhaust and chemical exposure.
Restoration coatings on sound but ageing roofs that need more years before replacement.

Maintenance for owners with several buildings

Many commercial owners in Sherwood Park hold more than one property. Our portfolio maintenance program puts every roof on one spring and fall schedule, with a separate report for each building and a single contact for all of them. Repairs found on inspection are quoted before any work is done.

Our 24/7 emergency line covers all of Strathcona County, with crews on site within 4 hours for active leaks.

Questions

What facility managers ask us

Ask your own

Water comes in around our rooftop unit every spring. Why?

Usually the curb flashing has failed, or water is pooling on the uphill side of the unit. A reflashed curb and a cricket to divert water normally fix it. We also check condensate lines, which are a frequent hidden cause.

Do you work on industrial sites in Strathcona County?

Yes. We roof support buildings on industrial sites, with prequalification through ISNetworld, Avetta and ComplyWorks and crews ready for site orientation.

Can one contractor maintain all our properties?

Yes. A portfolio program covers several buildings on one schedule, with individual reports so each property's records stay separate.

Is a restoration coating worth it on our plaza roof?

It can be, if the membrane is still sound and the insulation is dry. A coating extends service life at a lower cost than replacement. If the roof is wet or failing, a coating only buys a little time, and we will tell you so.
