As a Frankfort commercial roof repair contractor, we find and fix leaks, open seams, failed flashing, and storm damage on flat, metal, and industrial roofs.
Most Frankfort commercial roof repair calls start with one of these five conditions, and each one points the inspection at a specific part of the roof.
Water that gets past a seam or curb runs along deck flutes, purlins, and insulation joints before it drips, so the stain inside often sits several feet from the real opening. Tracing starts on the roof above the stain and works upslope.
Usually Means: a seam, curb, or penetration upslope of the stain has opened.
Flashing at parapets and curbs is where most flat roof leaks begin, ahead of open seams and punctures.
Sun and temperature swings break down rubber washers until rain slips past each screw head.
Leaves and silt back water up until it climbs the flashing and finds a gap.
Bruised membrane, cracked skylight panels, and lifted edge metal show up after central Kentucky storms.
Every repair visit follows the same order, so the patch lands on the detail that failed and wet material comes out before new material goes in.
Crews start at the stain inside, mark it, then climb up and work upslope, probing seams and laps and checking every curb, drain, and flashing near the source.
If rain is still coming in, a temporary patch or weighted sheeting slows the leak. That material comes out later so the permanent fix bonds to clean membrane or panel.
Welded or taped seam patches, new curb flashing, oversized fasteners, or replacement panel sections go in, matched to the roof system already on the building.
Each repaired spot gets a dated photo and a note on the method used. That record shows later whether one area of the roof keeps failing.
Four repair services cover the roofs on Frankfort shops, offices, warehouses, and plants. Each card shows which roof parts that service works on.
Open laps, blisters, punctures, and ponding on TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, repaired with patch material matched to the membrane.

Call UsMoisture readings sort most roofs into one of three paths. How much of the roof is wet or worn decides which one fits yours.
| Path | What the Roof Shows | Work Involved |
|---|---|---|
| Repair | One or a few leaks over dry insulation, with the rest of the field intact | Seam patches, curb reflashing, and drain resets at the failed spots |
| Restore | An aging membrane or metal roof that is still dry but has many small failures | Seam and fastener work across the whole roof, then a fluid-applied coating |
| Replace | Saturated insulation over large areas, a failing deck, or brittle membrane | Tear-off, or a recover with a new roof system |
Targeted repair keeps a roof in service while the failed details get rebuilt. Each gain below is tagged with the roof part where it shows up.
Rebuilding an open lap or split pipe boot stops water at its source, so ceiling tiles, stock, and electrical gear under that spot stay dry through the next storm.
Cutting out a small wet area during a repair keeps moisture from spreading under the membrane, which is what pushes a roof from repair toward replacement.
Curb and flashing work happens around the equipment, and the HVAC tech or electrician is called in only when a unit has to shut down.
Clearing strainers, resetting membrane in the drain bowl, and adding crickets behind curbs shortens how long water sits against seams and flashing.
Dated photos and a repair log show which areas keep failing, so owners can plan restoration or replacement of one section ahead of a failure.
We take commercial roof repair work in Frankfort and four towns nearby, plus six smaller communities. Outside them? Call us or send us a message.
Franklin County parcels go through the county codes office, and riverside lots near Bellepoint lose road access once the Kentucky River reaches 43 feet.
Barrel warehouses on wood framing and metal siding need ridge vents kept open and lap fasteners reset into solid wood.
Rural shops and farm buildings sit far from suppliers, so the truck leaves loaded with patch membrane, panel stock, and closures.
Railroad-era brick buildings leak first at parapet copings, mortar-set counterflashing, and rusted through-wall scuppers.
Deck replacement, new curbs, or large membrane sections on buildings in the Henry County seat go to the local or state inspector first.
It depends on how much of the roof is wet. A few leaks over dry insulation are a repair job. A dry roof with failures everywhere points to restoration, and saturated insulation across large areas points to replacement. Moisture readings during the inspection show where your roof falls, and wet spots get cut out in every case.
Thunderstorms bring most sudden leaks, because wind drives rain under coping and laps while hail bruises membrane and splits fastener washers. Long soaking rains find slow drains and tired seams instead. With roughly 47 inches of rain and melted snow in a typical Frankfort year, a roof check after each major storm catches damage before the next one.
Once leaks keep moving to new spots and scans show wet insulation growing, patching stops paying for itself. A detail patched several times needs rebuilding, and brittle membrane stops holding patches at all. A repair log with dates, locations, and costs makes that point easy to see, so the larger work can be budgeted before it fails.
A leak at a rooftop unit curb, service mast, or weatherhead can need the power shut off before roofers reflash it. Around Frankfort that could be the Frankfort Plant Board, Kentucky Utilities, or Blue Grass Energy, and the meter tag names the right one. An electrician handles the disconnect, then the boot and curb get reflashed.
Yes. Most repairs happen while tenants and staff keep working below. Crews protect the interior under any area being opened, keep material clear of doors and loading docks, and stage the work so each opened section is closed and watertight before they leave the roof.
Access gets planned before the visit: the roof hatch or ladder point, where the truck parks without blocking deliveries, and whether a lift is needed at tall eaves. Skylight panels get marked or screened before anyone walks the roof, because they look solid from above.
Tell us where the water shows up inside and what kind of roof sits above it, and we will set up the inspection and repair.
