Pacific is a working town built along Interstate 44 and the old Route 66 line, and the buildings that keep it running carry flat and low-slope roofs that fail in ways a steep house roof never does. The warehouses and contractor yards off Osage Street, the storefronts through the historic downtown under the silica bluffs, and the shops spread toward Gray Summit and the Highway N corridor all sit on membranes that have to shed water across a near-flat plane while the Meramec River valley throws every kind of weather at them. When a commercial roof in Pacific goes, the water lands on inventory, equipment, or a register, not a spare bedroom, and the cost of waiting climbs fast.

Emmendorfer Exteriors has roofed Franklin County since founder Matt Emmendorfer moved the business from Overland to Union around 2003, and the family has been in roofing since 1990. Matt brought on sons Tom and Tim, and together the family has put roofs on roughly 2,400 Missouri homes and buildings, including 306 jobs in 2025. Pacific sits right on the I-44 line at the edge of the St. Louis metro, which is exactly why so many out-of-county outfits flood the town after a storm. We come the other way, east on Highway 50 from our Union shop, and the same family that answers your call is the crew on your roof, never a subcontracted storm chaser hired for the season.

How it works

What our commercial roofing includes in Pacific

A commercial roof has to keep working while your business does. Here is how we handle it once you approve the estimate.

  1. Full roof survey and moisture check

    We get on the roof and walk the entire membrane, checking seams, drains, scuppers, curbs, pitch pans, and edge metal. We document soft spots and trapped moisture with photos and drone footage so you see exactly what we found, not a vague summary from the parking lot.

  2. Tear-off or recover, decided honestly

    If the deck is sound and the assembly allows it, a single recover over the existing roof can save you money. If there is trapped moisture or failed insulation, we tear off to the deck. We tell you straight which one your building needs and why, the same honest call we make on a house.

  3. Repair the deck and insulation

    With the old roof open we replace wet or failed insulation and any soft decking, then set tapered insulation where you need positive drainage so water runs to the drains instead of ponding after a Missouri downpour.

  4. Install the membrane or metal system

    We install your chosen system, a Carlisle TPO membrane heat-welded at the seams, a TriBuilt low-slope assembly, or standing-seam metal, with all flashings, curbs, and edge metal detailed to the manufacturer's spec. The system is named on your written estimate before we order it.

  5. Clean to no footprint, on a working site

    We stage around your operating hours, keep the lot and walkways clear, magnet-sweep for fasteners, and haul every scrap. Our cleanup is the thing customers name most. We get in, do it, and get out without leaving a footprint on a business that has to open the next morning.

Local angle

Pacific's location in the Meramec River valley stacks the odds against a flat roof. Spring and summer haul severe weather straight up the I-44 corridor, and the federally declared March 2025 disaster that left Franklin County under a major disaster declaration brought large hail and damaging winds, with straight-line winds clocked over 75 mph across eastern Missouri. On a commercial roof that hail bruises the membrane and that wind peels back seams and edge metal, then the river-valley humidity and ponding after a downpour work the damage open. We walk the full membrane on the actual roof, check every seam, drain, and curb, set tapered insulation where a Pacific roof needs positive drainage, and name the Carlisle TPO, TriBuilt, or metal system in writing before we order it. Tom Emmendorfer handles the insurance side himself, meeting your adjuster on the roof to put the full damage scope on the record.

FAQ

Commercial Roofing in Pacific: questions

We install three main systems on Pacific commercial buildings. Carlisle TPO membrane for flat and near-flat roofs on warehouses, storefronts, and offices, TriBuilt low-slope and torch-down for low-pitch sections and additions, and standing-seam metal for pole barns, churches, and agricultural buildings out toward Gray Summit. We work buildings up to four stories, and the system is named in writing before we order it.
We are a Franklin County family roofer based in Union, a short run east on Highway 50 from Pacific. Because Pacific sits right on Interstate 44 at the metro edge, it pulls in more out-of-county storm chasers than any town we serve. We have worked these neighborhoods for decades and respond the same day on a commercial leak or storm damage.
Almost never. Our in-house crews stage around your operating hours, keep the lot and walkways clear, and work in sections so a storefront, warehouse, or office stays open. We give you the sequence and timeline in writing with the estimate, so you know which part of the roof we are on and when, not a vague promise that shuts you down for a week.
If hail or wind caused it, often yes, and it matters most here because the I-44 access pulls in so many storm chasers. Tom Emmendorfer documents the bruised seams and lifted flashing, files the claim, and meets your adjuster on the roof to walk them through every detail. You pay your deductible and we handle the claim. Under Missouri law no roofer can legally pay or waive a deductible.
It comes down to slope and budget. Carlisle TPO is our standard for the flat and low-slope roofs most Pacific storefronts and warehouses carry, costing less to install upfront with a reflective white surface that cuts summer cooling load. Standing-seam metal carries the longest service life we install and stands up best to hail and high straight-line wind, at a higher upfront cost. We walk your roof and tell you straight which one fits.
Often yes, and we will say so if it is the honest call. A traceable membrane puncture, a failed seam, or leaking edge metal is usually a repair, not a tear-off. If the deck is sound we can also recover over the existing roof to save you money. We only recommend a full replacement when trapped moisture or failed insulation makes it the right call.
