Windward is a commercial roofer. The company works on commercial and industrial buildings such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, retail centers, healthcare facilities, schools, office buildings, and multifamily properties. It doesn't service single-family residential homes.

Windward was founded in 1984, which is more than 40 years of commercial roofing experience. The company is now led by its second generation of family ownership.

Windward provides commercial roof repair, roof replacement, new-construction roofing, preventive maintenance, 24/7 emergency service, roof inspections, leak repair, waterproofing, sheet metal fabrication, snow removal, and solar roofing.

Windward installs TPO, EPDM, PVC, metal, built-up roofing (BUR), modified bitumen, and spray polyurethane foam (SPF) systems, plus reflective roof coatings. The right system depends on the building, the budget, and the performance goals.

Both are single-ply flat-roof membranes. TPO is typically a white, heat-reflective membrane that helps lower cooling costs, which makes it popular on warehouses and large commercial buildings. EPDM is a black rubber membrane known for long-proven durability and weather resistance. Windward installs both and can recommend the better fit after inspecting the roof.

It depends on the roof's age, the extent of the damage, and how much of the system is still sound. Isolated leaks, punctures, or flashing problems are often repairable. Widespread saturation, recurring leaks across the roof, or a system near the end of its service life usually point to replacement. A Windward roof inspection gives you a clear recommendation and the reasoning behind it.

Most commercial flat roof systems last roughly 20 to 30 years, depending on the material, installation quality, climate, and maintenance. Regular inspections and a maintenance program can add years to a roof's usable life.
