Trusted by NJ, PA, and CT businesses since 1977 to handle large-scale roof removals with zero drama and minimal disruption.
Removing a commercial roof is a major industrial operation. It involves tearing off tons of material, navigating complex building codes, and managing strict safety protocols. In the wrong hands, it can shut down your business for weeks.
At CRS, we specialize in low-impact removals. We plan every logistical detail, from supplying our own dumpsters to minimizing the disruption to your customers, to ensure your employees, tenants, and customers remain safe and undisturbed. Our goal is simple: you run your business inside, while we execute perfect work outside.
Often, we can handle the roof removal process at night, reducing the impact on your business and building occupants.
We will never sell you a removal you don’t need. However, building codes often mandate a “tear-off” when:
You cannot legally install a third layer of roofing over two existing layers.
If diagnostic core cuts reveal trapped moisture in the insulation, covering it up will only lead to mold and structural rot. In these cases, the roof must be torn off and replaced.
If the roofing deck is compromised, we must expose it to fix it, tearing off the roof and replacing it.
We treat the removal phase for your commercial roof with the same precision as the installation phase.
We verify exactly what is under the membrane, including the insulation type, deck condition, and layer count, so there are no surprises once work begins.
We implement rigorous safety measures to protect pedestrians, vehicles, and your business.
We don’t just dump debris. We separate materials such as EPDM, steel, and insulation for recycling whenever possible, reducing landfill waste and disposal costs.
A roof removal isn’t just a cost; it’s an opportunity. Once the old, inefficient roof is gone, we can install a modern system that pays you back over the life of your roof.
We install modern, high-density insulation that drastically lowers your heating and cooling bills and keeps your customers and employees comfortable year-round.
We can replace dark, heat-absorbing materials with reflective TPO or PVC to reduce summer cooling loads, or transform your roof into a green roof with living plants to reduce the amount of heat it absorbs and provide a respite for pollinators.
If ponding water issues plagued the old roof and lead to leaks or other damage, we can correct the drainage, ensuring your roof continues to protect your building for years to come.
We have successfully managed removals for everything from bustling retail centers to sensitive distribution hubs.
We know how to navigate the challenges of occupied buildings and complex roof systems. With decades of experience, we have the manpower and the methodology to get the old roof off and the new roof on with minimal disruption to your daily operations, through our nighttime removals and skilled, efficient installations.
