Commercial Metal Roofing
Painted panels shed snowmelt and rain fast on pitched and stepped roofs. Fastener and seam repairs keep an existing metal roof working while new panels wait on color approval.
Metal roofing detailsJerome Commercial Roofing Contractor
Roofing and paint changes in Jerome go through design review. As a commercial roofing contractor, we repair and replace metal and EPDM roofs here and plan that review into the schedule.

Parapet Corner Flashing
Roof WalkDesign Review Comes Before The Material Order
Jerome's Design Review Board reviews exterior alterations to protect the town's historic character, and the town publishes a Design Review form for paint and roofing. A roof color or material change starts there, so samples and product sheets need to be ready well before work is scheduled.
We prepare these with you so the review packet and the roof scope match.
- Color samples for membrane, coping, and flashing
- Product data sheets for panels or sheets
- Photos of the existing roof and parapets
- A roof plan showing what changes and where
Roof Conditions We Plan Around In Jerome
Each row ties something you notice inside to the roof part behind it and the repair that follows.
Stains along an upper wall
Likely CauseParapet flashing pulled loose or coping joints open, letting water run down inside the wall.
What We DoWe reset or replace coping, reflash the parapet base, and seal the joints in an approved color.
Rust streaks on metal roofing
Likely CauseOld paint gone at laps and fastener heads, leaving bare steel exposed to storms and snowmelt.
What We DoRust is brushed off and primed, failed screws replaced, and the panels repainted in a reviewed color.
Leaks at old EPDM seams
Likely CauseSeam tape and adhesive drying out on aging rubber, most often near curbs and inside corners.
What We DoWe clean and prime the laps, apply new seam tape, and add cover strips at corners and curbs.
Patches layered over patches
Likely CauseYears of spot repairs stacked on one area until water travels between the layers.
What We DoMoisture readings show how far water spread, and the stacked patches are cut out to a dry deck.
Water backing up at a scupper
Likely CauseDebris collecting where a small roof drains through one parapet opening.
What We DoWe clear the scupper, check its flashing, and size an overflow if water stands after storms.
Why Jerome Owners Fix Roofs Early
Design review adds a step before material arrives. Starting before a leak forces the issue keeps that step from becoming the delay.
Before The Work
- A leak that needs fixing before samples are approved
- Coping joints letting water into upper walls
- Bare steel showing at panel laps and screws
- Seam tape lifting at EPDM corners and curbs
- Stacked patches trapping water between layers
After The Work
- Colors approved before the material order goes in
- Coping reset and parapet bases reflashed
- Panels primed and repainted in a reviewed color
- EPDM laps cleaned, primed, and retaped
- Wet patches cut out down to a dry deck
Jerome Roof System Options
Metal and EPDM handle most roof shapes in Jerome, and both come in colors that can go to design review.
EPDM Roofing
Rubber sheets fit small flat roofs behind parapets and stay flexible through winter freezes. Seams and corners can be repaired without replacing the whole sheet.

Call with the wall and the floor where it shows. A failed coping joint or loose parapet flashing above it is the usual source.
Call UsHow A Jerome Roof Job Moves Through Review
We inspect first, prepare the design review packet with you, and schedule work once colors and materials are set.
Inspect Your Roof
The whole roof gets walked, including parapet caps and stepped sections, with moisture readings wherever patches are stacked and photos of every color and finish in place.
Gather Samples And Data
Color samples and product sheets for the membrane, panels, coping, and flashing are pulled together so the Design Review form can be filled out completely.
Submit For Review
You or we submit the Paint/Roofing review form with the samples, and the roof work schedule waits on the board decision.
Repair And Prepare
Once colors are set, loose coping is pulled, wet boards are replaced, and parapet bases are cleaned for new flashing.
Install In The Approved Colors
Panels or sheets go on in the reviewed color, joints are sealed, and the completed roof is walked with you, scupper by scupper.

Jerome Roofing Questions
Answers on design review, roof systems, and repairs for Jerome commercial buildings.
Do Jerome roofs face extra design rules?
Yes. Jerome's Design Review Board reviews exterior changes to protect the town's historic character, and the town provides a paint and roofing design review form.
That shapes material and color choices before work starts, so we plan color samples and material submittals early and keep review timing from holding up the roof.
How early should design review start?
As soon as the roof scope is clear. Samples and product data take time to collect, and the board reviews on its own calendar. Starting right after the inspection keeps a leak repair from waiting on paperwork and leaves room to resubmit if the first color is turned down.
Which roof systems work on small flat roofs behind parapets?
EPDM and TPO both fit small low-slope roofs boxed in by parapet walls. The bigger job is usually at the edges: coping, parapet flashing, and the scupper that drains the roof. We size those details first, then choose the sheet and color that goes to review.
Can rusty metal roofing be saved?
Often, if the steel underneath is still solid. Surface rust is brushed off and primed, failed fasteners are replaced with larger screws and new washers, and the laps are sealed. Panels rusted through or bent out of shape get replaced in a color cleared through design review.
Why does water show up on an upper floor wall?
Water that enters at a parapet usually travels down inside the wall before it shows. Open coping joints, cracked counterflashing, and loose membrane at the parapet base are the common entry points. We test those spots on the roof and repair the one letting water in.
Do you work around tenants in occupied buildings?
Every job is staged around the people below. Noisy tear-off is scheduled with you, entrances stay clear of material, and each opened roof section is sealed before work stops for the evening. Rooftop unit shutdowns are arranged with building staff ahead of time.
How are patched roofs checked for hidden water?
Moisture readings across and around each patch show whether water has spread under the layers. Where readings run high, a small core cut confirms wet insulation. Dry areas can take a clean repair, and soaked boards are removed down to the deck before anything new goes on.
