TPO roofing
Heat-welded single-ply membrane. The most common commercial flat roof system in Louisiana — white reflective surface, 20–30 year service life, and competitive installed cost on buildings of every size.

Commercial roofing & flat roof
systems for Baton Rouge.
Commercial roofing is its own discipline. Different membrane systems, different fastening patterns, different code requirements, different insurance documentation — and the operational stakes are higher when a leak means an interrupted business instead of a stained ceiling.
Blanco’s has been installing and servicing commercial roofs across South Louisiana for over 35 years. We work on flat and low-slope systems — TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and roof coatings — for property managers, business owners, churches, schools, warehouses, retail centers, and light industrial facilities. Most of our commercial work comes from repeat clients and referrals from property managers who know the difference between a contractor who installs a roof and one who stands behind it.
Flat roof systems
Four flat roofing
systems we install.
Flat roofing is the dominant system type on commercial buildings in Louisiana — low-slope geometry that requires membrane roofing rather than shingles. We install and service the four systems that make sense for our climate and building stock, and we recommend against the ones that don't.
EPDM roofing
Time-tested rubber membrane with 20–25 year service life. Installed fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted depending on deck type and wind exposure.
Modified bitumen roofing
Multi-ply system installed torch-down or cold-applied. The right answer on high-traffic roofs, buildings with many penetrations, and projects where redundancy matters more than reflectivity.
Roof coatings & restoration
Silicone and acrylic coatings applied over an existing sound roof membrane. Buys 10–15 years of service life at 30–50% of replacement cost when the underlying membrane is a candidate.
Extend service life
Roof coatings that buy you
10–15 more years.
A silicone or acrylic roof coating applied over a dry, sound membrane can extend service life 10–15 years at 30–50% of replacement cost — and qualify for utility rebates and tax deductions depending on the coating and building type. We assess whether your roof is a candidate during the free inspection and give you an honest yes or no.

Repair & emergency response
Commercial roof repair &
emergency response.
Most commercial roof problems start small — a failed seam, a punctured membrane from HVAC service work, a clogged drain, a flashing pull-back at a parapet — and become expensive only because they’re not addressed early.
Blanco’s runs a dedicated commercial service crew for leak calls, patching, and emergency response. We document every repair with photos and a written scope so you have a record for your maintenance files, your insurance carrier, or your building engineer. If the repair exceeds 25–30% of replacement cost, we’ll tell you that too — and quote the replacement side by side.
Storm response: when a tropical system or severe thunderstorm opens up a roof across South Louisiana, our service line is staffed before the rain stops. We prioritize existing maintenance clients, but we don’t leave non-clients on the roof if we can help it.
Maintenance
Commercial roof
preventative maintenance.
Commercial roofs are mechanical systems. They need to be inspected, cleaned, and serviced on a schedule — the same way an HVAC unit or a fire suppression system does. Most manufacturer material warranties actually require documented maintenance to stay in force.
Blanco’s offers annual and semi-annual maintenance contracts scoped to your specific roof system. A typical contract includes visual inspection, drain and scupper cleaning, sealant touch-up at penetrations and terminations, minor repair labor included, photo documentation, and a written condition report delivered within a week of each visit.
The math works out. A preventative maintenance contract runs a small fraction of one repair call, and it surfaces the issues that would otherwise become emergency calls during the next storm.
Why us
Why Baton Rouge businesses
trust Blanco’s for commercial.
Three things separate us from other commercial roofing contractors in the area: we show up when we say we will, we document what we find and what we install, and we put our own certified crews on every job — never subcontractors. Property managers who switch to Blanco’s typically tell us the difference shows up in the first storm.

Commercial
roofing questions.
The questions property managers and business owners ask before committing to a commercial roofing contractor — answered straight.
Ask your own question01 How long does a commercial roof replacement take in Baton Rouge?
A small commercial building (10,000–20,000 sq ft) typically takes 3–7 business days for a full tear-off and replacement. Larger projects are phased and can run several weeks. Blanco’s delivers a detailed project schedule with mobilization dates, daily milestones, and weather contingency before the first crew truck arrives on site.
02 Will my business need to close during a commercial roof replacement?
In most cases, no. We work in phased sections, maintain weathertight conditions at the end of every workday, and schedule disruptive phases for early morning, evening, or weekend windows when the operation requires it. Tenants and operations stay open throughout the project. We coordinate access, dumpster placement, and material staging with property management before mobilization.
03 What is the difference between commercial roof repair and full replacement?
Repair when the damage is isolated and the membrane is still sound — typically when the roof is under 70% of its expected service life and the repair cost is below 25–30% of replacement cost. Full replacement when the membrane is at or beyond end of life, when damage is widespread, or when a series of repairs is approaching the cost of a new system. Blanco’s gives you both options side by side with documented findings.
04 Does Blanco’s work directly with commercial property insurance adjusters?
Yes. Blanco’s inspects, photographs, and produces a detailed written scope that can be shared directly with your adjuster. We can be present during adjuster walk-throughs to point out damage and confirm code-required line items. We don’t guarantee any specific claim outcome — that decision rests with the carrier — but our documentation is built to support the claim.
05 What commercial roofing warranties does Blanco’s provide?
Two layers of warranty: Blanco’s labor warranty covers installation workmanship (typically 2–5 years depending on system), and the manufacturer’s material warranty covers the membrane itself (typically 10–30 years depending on system and thickness). Most manufacturer material warranties require documented annual or semi-annual maintenance to remain in force — Blanco’s maintenance contracts satisfy that requirement.
