Your commercial roof protects everything inside your building. When it reaches the end of its useful life, water intrusion and structural damage become serious risks. Northern Nevada’s temperature cycling, snow loads, and UV exposure accelerate roof deterioration. Dri Tech has been replacing commercial roofing systems in Reno since 1967.
Key Selling Points:
Dri Tech has served commercial property owners across Reno and Northern Nevada for over 59 years. We hold top-tier manufacturer certifications from GAF, Johns Manville, Firestone, and Carlisle, enabling us to offer warranties up to 25 years. Our experienced team specializes in complete roof replacement for commercial buildings, from small retail centers to large industrial facilities.
You deal directly with owners, not corporate call centers. We have installed over 50 million square feet of commercial roofing across Nevada with zero complaints from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Our Roof Safe program ensures every roofing project meets the highest safety standards.
Complete removal and replacement of your entire roof system. When extensive repairs no longer make financial sense, full roof replacement delivers long-term durability and improved energy efficiency. Our commercial roofing experts handle every phase: tear-off, debris removal, disposal, and professional installation of high quality materials designed for Reno’s climate.
Most commercial roofers focus on speed alone. We balance efficient project timelines with expert craftsmanship. You get a roof surface built to handle Northern Nevada’s temperature swings, snow loads, and UV exposure. Our certified installers follow manufacturer specifications exactly, protecting your warranty coverage and ensuring roof integrity for decades.
Key Points:
Installing new roofing material over your existing system when the deck remains structurally sound. Re-roofing costs less than full replacement and reduces project duration. Our team evaluates your current roof to confirm overlay viability, checking for water intrusion, proper drainage, and adequate structural support.
We inspect the existing roof surface thoroughly before recommending overlay installation. If we find roof defects, extensive repairs, or moisture issues, we recommend complete roof replacement instead. You get honest guidance based on what your building actually needs, not what generates the highest invoice.
Key Points:
Protective coating systems that extend roof life, enhance waterproofing, and improve energy savings. Roof coatings work on many commercial roofing systems including modified bitumen, metal roofs, and single-ply membranes. Reflective coatings reduce heat absorption, lowering cooling costs during Reno’s hot summer months.
We apply coatings using proven techniques that ensure proper adhesion and uniform coverage. The result: added years of service life from your existing roofing material without the expense of complete replacement. Regular maintenance after coating application maximizes long-term performance.

Reno’s unique climate and commercial property types create specific roofing challenges. We solve these problems daily.
| Challenge | What It Looks Like | How We Help |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature Cycling | Thermal expansion and contraction from Reno’s temperature swings stress roofing systems, causing membrane splitting and fastener failure. Winter cold contracts materials while summer heat expands them. | Our commercial roofing installation accounts for temperature movement, using expansion joints and flexible materials that handle Northern Nevada’s climate extremes without premature failure. |
| Snow Load Damage | Winter snow accumulation and ice dams stress older flat roof structures. Inadequate drainage traps moisture, accelerating deterioration and creating ponding water issues. | We design replacement systems with proper drainage slopes and reinforced decking. Our team ensures roof hatches and penetrations remain accessible while preventing snow and ice buildup problems. |
| UV Degradation | High elevation UV exposure in Reno breaks down roofing material faster than lower elevations. Membranes become brittle, losing flexibility and waterproofing capability over time. | We install UV-resistant roofing systems with protective coatings. Materials are selected specifically for high-altitude UV exposure, extending service life and maintaining roof surface integrity. |
| Storm Damage | Wind damage and hail impact from Nevada weather events compromise roof integrity. Damaged sections allow water intrusion, threatening interior assets and business operations. | Our responsive service includes emergency assessments after storms. We document damage for insurance claims and complete necessary repairs quickly to prevent further issues while planning long-term replacement. |
| Aging Infrastructure | Many Reno commercial buildings have original roofs from decades ago. Aging systems develop multiple failure points simultaneously, making repairs ineffective and costly compared to replacement. | We provide honest assessments of repair versus replacement economics. When extensive repairs equal replacement costs, we recommend new construction-grade systems that deliver decades of reliable protection. |
| Energy Costs | Poorly insulated or dark roofing systems increase cooling expenses during Reno’s summer heat. Commercial property owners face higher utility bills without understanding the roof’s role. | Modern reflective roofing materials and proper insulation reduce energy consumption significantly. We explain energy efficiency improvements and calculate potential savings from roof replacement. |
We serve commercial property owners throughout Northern Nevada from our Reno/Sparks office. When you need commercial roofing services, you reach a local team familiar with regional building codes, weather patterns, and the unique needs of Reno area businesses.

Commercial roof replacement costs typically range from $5 to $15 per square foot, depending on roofing material, building height, access challenges, and existing roof conditions. A 10,000-square-foot flat roof might cost $50,000 to $150,000 for complete replacement. Metal roofs and complex architectural features increase costs. We provide free estimates with detailed pricing breakdowns, explaining exactly what you’re paying for and what alternatives exist within your budget.
We’ve been protecting Northern Nevada commercial buildings since 1967. You deal directly with owners, not corporate franchises. Our manufacturer certifications from GAF, Johns Manville, Firestone, and Carlisle enable warranties up to 25 years. We’ve completed over 7,300 projects with 50+ million square feet installed and zero complaints from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Our Roof Safe program ensures safety on every job. Plus, we maintain full-service teams locally in Reno, not dispatching crews from out of state.
Full roof replacement makes sense when your existing system has widespread damage, multiple leak points, or compromised structural decking. You get a completely new system with maximum warranty protection and extended service life. Re-roofing over the existing roof costs less and works faster when the deck remains sound and only the membrane has aged. We inspect thoroughly and recommend the approach that delivers the best long-term value for your specific building condition and budget.
Most commercial roofing projects take one to three weeks, depending on building size, roof complexity, and weather conditions. A straightforward 10,000-square-foot flat roof might be completed in five to seven working days. Larger facilities, occupied buildings requiring phased work, or projects with extensive sheet metal fabrication take longer. Winter snow and spring winds can pause work temporarily. We provide realistic timelines during consultation and keep you updated if conditions change the schedule.
If you’re seeing persistent leaks despite repairs, widespread membrane damage, or your roof is approaching 20 to 25 years old, it’s worth getting a professional assessment. Frequent patching, sagging areas, or visible deterioration across large sections indicate replacement makes more financial sense than ongoing repairs. Energy bills that keep rising might also signal poor roof insulation or reflectivity. We provide free inspections with honest guidance about whether you need immediate replacement or can wait with proper maintenance.
We provide manufacturer-backed warranties covering both materials and labor for up to 25 years, depending on the roofing system you select. These warranties require regular maintenance to remain valid. We offer scheduled maintenance programs that include annual inspections, minor repairs, debris removal, and drainage system checks. Property managers appreciate predictable budgeting and documented maintenance records. These programs help you avoid emergency repairs and maximize your roof’s service life while protecting warranty coverage.
Single-ply membranes like TPO and EPDM handle Reno’s temperature cycling effectively. Modified bitumen offers excellent cold weather performance for buildings with snow load concerns. Metal roofs provide exceptional durability and longevity in Northern Nevada’s UV exposure. We evaluate your building type, budget, energy goals, and expected service life to recommend the most appropriate roofing material. All our installations account for proper insulation and drainage specific to Reno’s high desert climate.
Yes. We coordinate project scheduling around your business hours and operational needs. For occupied commercial buildings, we work in phases, maintaining building access and minimizing noise during critical business periods. We establish clear safety barriers, manage debris removal continuously, and protect parking areas and entrances. Most roofing work happens on the roof surface itself. You typically won’t experience major interior disruptions unless we’re replacing roof hatches or addressing penetrations that require interior coordination.
We document existing roof damage with detailed photos, moisture readings, and written reports. If storm damage or covered events triggered the need for replacement, we work directly with your insurance adjuster, providing the technical documentation they require. We explain what insurance typically covers versus what represents normal aging. While we don’t handle claims directly, we’ve worked with insurance companies thousands of times and understand what documentation they need to process commercial roofing claims efficiently.
You have our direct contact information and reach owners who stand behind the work. Manufacturer warranties cover material defects, while our workmanship guarantee addresses installation issues. If problems arise, we respond quickly to assess and resolve them. Most concerns stem from preventable issues caught during regular maintenance, which is why we recommend scheduled inspections. We’ve been serving Reno for 58 years because we take care of problems properly, not because we avoid them when they happen.
