Commercial roofing in Haverhill

Haverhill · Commercial roofing
Roofing in Haverhill since 1975.
Most of the commercial roofing around Haverhill sits on small multi-tenant buildings: a row of units under one continuous roof, each with a different occupier, a different landlord arrangement and a different view of whose problem the roof is. That is the defining feature of this market and it causes more delay than any technical difficulty.
When water comes into unit four, the covering above it is usually part of a single roof spanning all of them, the entry point may be over unit two, and responsibility for the repair is set by the leases rather than by geography. Owners wait for tenants to report, tenants wait for landlords to act, and the water carries on.
The way out of that is a survey that treats the roof as one roof. We map it into sections across the whole building, photograph every seam, upstand and penetration, and report the findings by section rather than by unit, so it becomes obvious what is actually wrong, where, and how much of it is a shared problem rather than one tenant's misfortune.
From there the conversation about who pays can happen with evidence in front of it rather than as a dispute. Coverings are TPO, modified bitumen or a coating according to condition, and we are Carlisle certified for TPO.
None of that requires anything unusual technically. What it requires is treating the building as one roof from the start, which is the step most often skipped when the first call comes from a single tenant with a wet ceiling and a reasonable expectation that somebody will simply come and fix it.

Good to know
What to know.
- One roof, several occupiers
On a row of units the covering does not stop at the party walls, so a breach over one tenancy regularly appears inside another. Diagnosing it unit by unit as complaints arrive produces repairs in the wrong places and a running argument. Surveying the whole roof at once and reporting by section rather than by tenancy makes the actual pattern visible, which is the only sensible basis for deciding who does what.
- Evidence before the responsibility conversation
Whose cost a repair is depends on the leases, and that discussion goes very differently with photographs on the table. A mapped survey shows where the water is entering, how much of the roof is in similar condition and what would need doing to deal with it properly rather than repeatedly. Landlords and tenants can then argue about a document rather than about impressions, which usually shortens it considerably.
- What tends to fail on units like these
Rarely the open field of the covering. Usually the upstands where it climbs a party wall or a parapet, the outlets, and the details around anything a tenant has installed on the roof for their own operation: an extraction unit, a condenser, a cable run. Those last are frequently the cause and are the easiest to identify once the roof has been photographed section by section.
- Coatings, and whether the roof qualifies
Where the covering is genuinely sound and dry, the seams are closed and the roof still drains, a coating renews the whole building for a fraction of a re-cover, which on a multi-tenant property with a modest service charge is often the practical answer. Where those conditions are not met it seals a problem out of sight. A test opening settles it quickly and costs nothing.

Roofing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Who does commercial roofing in Haverhill, FL?
Molsbee Roofing. A family business since 1975, based in Lake Worth Beach, licensed CCC1327429 and Carlisle certified for TPO, working Palm Beach County from Jupiter to Boca Raton. We survey and re-cover small multi-tenant and light industrial buildings around 33417. The roof is mapped and reported by section rather than by unit. The survey is free. Call 561-318-8624.
Water is coming into one unit. Is it that tenant's problem?
Often not, and the roof usually shows why. On a row of units the covering spans the party walls, so a breach over one tenancy commonly appears inside another, and the entry point can be some distance from the complaint. A survey reported by section rather than by unit makes that visible, which turns a dispute about responsibility into a discussion about a document. What the leases then say is a separate matter and a much easier one with evidence attached.
A tenant installed equipment on the roof. Does that matter?
Frequently it is the cause. Extraction units, condensers, cable runs and their supports are installed by trades whose concern is the equipment rather than the covering, and a kerb without a proper upstand or a service sealed instead of flashed is a hole in a roof that somebody else is responsible for. Every penetration is photographed individually on the survey, which makes it straightforward to establish what was added and when.
Can a coating renew the whole building?
Where the conditions hold, yes, and on a multi-tenant property it is often the practical answer because it treats the roof as one asset for a fraction of a re-cover. The requirements are seams still closed, a deck still falling to its outlets, outlets that clear and an assembly that is dry. A test opening establishes whether the roof qualifies before anything is quoted or apportioned.
Can the work be done without closing the units?
Usually. Sections are opened and closed within a working period rather than left exposed, access and waste movement are agreed so they do not block loading or parking, and any area over something that cannot be disturbed is programmed specifically. The phasing goes in the quote, which also helps a landlord tell tenants what to expect rather than fielding calls once the work has started.
