Location: Memorial Dr, Tulsa, OK (ZIP 74145)
Project Type: Auto Dealership & Service Facility Roof Repair
Contractor: A-Best Roofing (Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor)
This job showcases a commercial roofing diagnostic and repair executed by A-Best Roofing for an auto dealership located along the Memorial Dr automotive corridor in East Tulsa (ZIP 74145). Situated just down the Broken Arrow Expressway (BA) from our central office near downtown Tulsa, and right next to Regency Park and Memorial Park Cemetery, this commercial facility experienced active water intrusion threatening both their retail showroom and service bay operations.
Commercial metal roofing systems, especially large standing-seam and R-panel layouts covering high-traffic commercial spaces, require specialized maintenance. When minor seal compromises go unnoticed, rainwater works its way down into interior workspaces, leading to safety hazards, damaged inventory, and costly operational delays.
A-Best Roofing’s commercial inspection team deployed drone technology and on-roof diagnostics to pinpoint the precise sources of the facility’s water leaks. The field analysis revealed several classic commercial metal roof failure points:
Ponding Water & Backed-Out Fasteners: Over time, thermal expansion and contraction cause metal panels to shift. This movement backs out roof screws and degrades neoprene washers, allowing standing water to pool directly over fastener holes and seep into the structure.
Corroded Roof Penetrations & Vents: Exhaust curbs, HVAC vents, and plumbing stacks showed severe rust, cracked caulking, and failed perimeter sealant, allowing heavy storm runoff to enter around penetrations.
Active Interior Water Damage: Moisture was actively migrating into the building, leaving visible water stains across interior acoustic ceiling tiles and pooling on the concrete floors inside the service garage area.
To stop the leaks without disrupting daily dealership operations, A-Best Roofing executed a targeted commercial roof repair strategy:
We removed backed-out screws, installed oversized commercial fasteners with UV-resistant EPDM washers, and applied high-performance elastomeric sealant over vulnerable lap seams and screw heads to eliminate standing water intrusion.
Our crews scraped away failing sealant around roof curbs and HVAC vents, treated surface rust, and installed specialized flashing boots and commercial-grade sealants to ensure a watertight seal around all roof penetrations.
Using aerial photography, we verified proper drainage across all roof sections, ensuring runoff flows freely off the building and away from customer parking areas and vehicle inventory lots.
