The Work Behind the Finished Roof

More Than a Gallery of Completed Roofs

A finished-roof photo does not tell you what failed, what we found, or why a particular roofing system made sense. These projects show the building, the existing conditions, the work we completed, and the details that shaped each decision.

They also show why we do not copy a solution from one building to another. We inspect the actual roof, confirm the assembly and moisture conditions, and recommend the smallest responsible scope that protects the property.

Four Montana Commercial Projects

Each roof presented a different problem. The right answer depended on the existing assembly, moisture, building use, roof geometry, and long-term plan.

Commercial roof restoration work at Union Place Apartments in Missoula, Montana
Multi-Building Restoration • Missoula

Union Place Apartments

In summer 2023, we completed roughly 28,000 square feet of restoration work across five apartment buildings. Infrared drone imaging identified saturated areas that needed to be addressed before the roof could be restored.

After correcting those areas, we installed a fully reinforced spray-in-place membrane. The finished system is sustainable and can be recoated as part of future roof care.

  • Five apartment buildings
  • About 28,000 square feet
  • Infrared moisture findings
  • Reinforced restoration system
Completed shingle and TPO roofing at Missoula Alliance Church in Missoula, Montana
Mixed-Slope Reroof • Missoula

Missoula Alliance Church

We reroofed this 28,260-square-foot historic church in summer 2020. The building combined pitched and low-slope roof sections, prior leaks in the flat roof, and ice-dam leakage along the shingle eaves.

We installed Malarkey shingles on the pitched sections and 60-mil Carlisle TPO on the low-slope sections. The work required the different roof areas and their transitions to be planned as one connected assembly.

  • 28,260 square feet
  • Historic church building
  • Malarkey shingles
  • 60-mil Carlisle TPO
PVC commercial roof replacement at the Missoula Detention Center in Missoula, Montana
Municipal Roof Replacement • Missoula

Missoula Detention Center

We reroofed the 97,000-square-foot detention center in summer 2020 after years of progressive membrane failure. Temporary coating repairs had stopped leaks and extended service long enough for the larger replacement to be planned.

The replacement included an 80-mil IB PVC membrane, a new parapet cap, and replacement of damaged or wet cover board found within the assembly.

  • 97,000 square feet
  • Municipal facility
  • 80-mil IB PVC membrane
  • Parapet and cover-board work
Acrylic metal-roof restoration at Bitterroot Marksmanship Club in Montana
Community Metal-Roof Restoration • Bitterroot Valley

Bitterroot Marksmanship Club

This community project addressed a failing Quonset-hut metal roof. Grant funding supplied the materials, Trapper Creek Job Corps donated labor, and we managed the project and trained the Union Painting class through the acrylic restoration installation.

The project shows that restoration is not just a coating rolled over an old roof. The roof condition, preparation, compatible materials, installation steps, and responsibilities all have to be clear before work begins.

  • Quonset-hut metal roof
  • Acrylic restoration
  • Community volunteer project
  • Project management and training

Compare the Work, Not Just the Material

Four Buildings. Four Different Roofing Decisions.

A similar material does not guarantee the same scope. This comparison shows why the existing roof and the building beneath it still control the decision.

Project Building Primary Condition Completed Work
Union Place Five apartment buildings Saturated areas found through infrared imaging Wet-area correction and fully reinforced restoration
Alliance Church Historic church with pitched and flat roofs Flat-roof leaks and ice-dam leakage at shingle eaves Malarkey shingles and 60-mil Carlisle TPO
Detention Center Large municipal facility Progressive membrane failure and damaged or wet cover board 80-mil IB PVC, new parapet cap, and cover-board replacement
Marksmanship Club Community Quonset-hut building Failing metal roof Managed acrylic restoration with training and donated labor

How We Build the Next Scope

Your Roof Still Starts With Its Own Evidence

These projects demonstrate experience. They do not replace an assessment of your building.

01

Learn the Building

We identify what happens inside, what cannot be interrupted, and where access, tenants, equipment, inventory, or security affect the work.

02

Inspect the Roof

We document the existing system, leak history, drainage, seams, flashings, penetrations, moisture concerns, deck conditions, and prior repairs.

03

Explain the Options

We compare repair, maintenance, restoration, recover, and replacement against the condition we found and the owner’s plan for the property.

04

Define the Work

We put the recommended scope, materials, details, access needs, phasing, applicable warranty terms, and next responsibilities into a clear plan.

Straight Answers From the Project Record

Commercial Project FAQs

What types of commercial projects are featured here?

Our featured work includes a five-building apartment restoration, a mixed-slope church reroof, a large municipal PVC replacement, and an acrylic metal-roof restoration for a community facility.

Can you use the same roofing system shown on one of these projects?

Possibly, but we will not recommend it from a photograph or building type alone. We first evaluate your roof’s existing assembly, moisture, deck, attachment, drainage, details, exposure, building use, and ownership plans.

Can restoration extend the life of every commercial roof?

No. Restoration only makes sense when the existing roof and substrate are suitable for the proposed system and wet or failed areas can be properly addressed. Broad saturation, incompatible materials, failing attachment, or severe deterioration can make replacement the responsible option.

Can occupied buildings remain open during roofing work?

Often they can, but the plan depends on access, noise, odor, debris, air intakes, public or secure areas, parking, deliveries, residents, production, and the roofing system being installed. We account for those conditions when defining the scope and schedule.

What should I have ready for a commercial roof assessment?

Share the building address and use, known roof systems, leak and repair history, plans or warranty records, rooftop equipment, access restrictions, interior concerns, desired timing, and the decision ownership needs to make. If records are incomplete, we can still begin with the roof in front of us.

Where does Schrock Roofing handle commercial work?

We serve commercial properties from our Missoula and Victor locations, including the Bitterroot Valley and nearby Western Montana communities. Scheduling depends on the roof condition, project scope, access, weather, and building operations.
