Roofs Crowded With Rooftop Units
Riviera sits inside Bullhead City limits, so roof permits go through the City of Bullhead City. Its two-story offices and medical buildings carry flat roofs behind parapets, and those roofs hold a lot of equipment.
Every rooftop unit sits on a curb, and every curb is a joint that has to stay watertight. On these roofs, the work is planned around the units: when each can shut down, how its intakes are protected, and how tall its curb needs to be.
- HVAC shutdowns scheduled with your facility team
- Air intakes covered while membrane is welded or adhered
- Low curbs raised so new flashing reaches the right height
- Walkway pads from the roof hatch to each unit
Signs Of Trouble Around The Units
In an office or clinic, roof problems show up at vents, ceilings, and wall corners. Each pair points to the roof detail behind it.

What A New Roof Changes In Riviera
On an office or medical building, these are the changes staff and tenants notice.
- Curbs flashed to the right height
Raised curbs and new flashing at each rooftop unit close the most common leak point on these roofs.
- Cooler top-floor rooms
A white TPO surface reflects much of the sun that a dark roof soaks into exam rooms and offices.
- Tight parapet corners
New membrane runs up and over the parapet under fresh coping, sealing the corners wind-driven rain reaches.
- Protected service routes
Walkway pads between the hatch and each unit keep technician traffic off the field membrane.
Roof Systems We Install In Riviera
Flat roofs behind parapets here are mostly membrane. These two systems cover them.
EPDM Roofing
EPDM handles roofs crowded with vents and pipes, where large rubber sheets mean fewer seams around the equipment.

(623) 310-0188Roof Work Around An Open Office
Offices and clinics stay open while the roof is done. These steps are built around that.
- Step 1
Inspect Your Roof
Each rooftop unit curb, parapet corner, and roof hatch gets checked, and moisture readings show whether the insulation under the equipment is still dry.
- Step 2
Schedule The Units
Shutdown windows for each rooftop unit are set with your facility team, and air intakes near the work are covered before membrane work starts.
- Step 3
Rebuild Around The Curbs
Low curbs are raised, new insulation and membrane go down one section at a time, and each section is sealed before the crew leaves.
- Step 4
Flash And Restart
Curbs and parapets get new flashing, walkway pads go down to each unit, and units restart once the roof around them is closed.

Questions For A Commercial Roofing Contractor In Riviera
Answers about curbs, parapets, permits, and work around open offices.
Can our office stay open while the roof is replaced?
Usually, yes. The work happens on the roof surface, one section at a time, and each section is sealed before the crew leaves. Rooftop unit shutdowns and intake covers are planned with your facility team, and staging stays clear of patient and customer entrances.
Who issues roofing permits in Riviera?
The City of Bullhead City. Riviera sits inside city limits, so commercial roof permits go through the city's Development Services instead of Mohave County. The city has adopted the 2018 International Building Code with local amendments, and its design criteria set the rainfall and wind values a new roof is built to.
How tall should a curb be under a rooftop unit?
Tall enough for the membrane flashing to run up its sides to the height the manufacturer requires. Many membrane makers call for about 8 inches above the finished roof. Curbs on older buildings are often shorter, especially after a recover layer raised the roof, so they are raised during replacement.
What causes leaks at parapet walls?
Gaps at the top and at the corners. Coping joints open as the metal expands in the sun, and the membrane pulls away at inside corners as it ages. Wind-driven monsoon rain finds both. New coping with sealed joints, and membrane carried over the wall, closes them.
Can a medical office keep odors out during roof work?
Yes, with planning. Air intakes near the work are covered, units serving sensitive rooms are shut down during the closest work, and welded TPO keeps adhesive fumes down. Work near exam rooms can be scheduled early or on days the office is closed.
How do you keep technicians from damaging a new roof?
Walkway pads mark a path from the roof hatch to every rooftop unit, and service contractors are asked to stay on them. Pads spread boot traffic, catch dropped screws, and show where to walk. Checking the paths after each service visit catches punctures early.
Is a two-story roof harder to work on?
It takes more planning for access. Materials go up by lift or crane from a staging area away from entrances, and debris comes down in chutes or bins. Parking spaces and walkways below the hoisting area are blocked off during lifts.
What is the condensate line on my roof?
It carries water from the cooling coil in each rooftop unit to a drain. When it clogs, water spills onto the membrane or backs up into the unit, which looks like a roof leak from inside. Clearing the line is a quick fix and worth checking first.
