Gorilla Roofing designs and installs green and energy-efficient roofs that reduce energy costs, manage stormwater, and create sustainable, visually appealing spaces while extending roof life.
Buildings are no longer just boxes that keep the weather out. They’re opportunities to save energy, clean the air, manage stormwater and even create usable green space. Green roofs and energy-efficient roofing systems do all of that while still protecting the structure below. Gorilla Roofing helps building owners and designers take advantage of these systems — from living plant roofs to cool reflective membranes — so you get performance, beauty and a measurable return on your investment.
Energy costs, environmental regulations and public perception are pushing businesses to look beyond traditional roofs. A properly designed green roof can lower summer cooling costs, manage rainwater on site and extend the life of the roof membrane by shielding it from ultraviolet light. Reflective “cool” roofing systems bounce sunlight and heat away from the building, reducing HVAC loads and improving occupant comfort. Both approaches move your property toward sustainability goals without sacrificing protection.
At Gorilla Roofing we view every roof as an asset. Our team will help you understand the options, the incentives available in your area and the practical steps to install a system that meets your operational needs.
This process turns an ambitious idea into a practical, durable solution.
Implementing a green or energy-efficient roof takes planning. When you contact Gorilla Roofing we:
Conduct a structural and roofing assessment to confirm suitability.
Review your sustainability goals and any incentives or regulations that apply.
Develop a design and cost proposal with clear timelines.
Coordinate installation with your operations to minimize disruption.
Provide a maintenance plan and training so the system performs for decades.
Whether you’re pursuing LEED certification, trying to cut energy costs or simply want a roof that does more than sit in the sun, Gorilla Roofing can help you design and install a green or energy-efficient system that meets your goals. Contact our commercial roofing specialists today to explore your options and turn your roof into an asset that benefits your building, your bottom line and your community
Installing a green or high-efficiency roof isn’t the same as rolling out another membrane. It requires experience with drainage, load calculations, plant selection, waterproofing layers and long-term maintenance. Gorilla Roofing brings that experience along with certified crews and established supplier relationships. We act as your single point of contact from design through installation and upkeep, simplifying a complex project.
We also communicate in plain language. You’ll know what you’re getting, why it matters and how it will be maintained. Our goal is to make your roof an asset you’re proud of, not another facility headache.
Green roofs come in different forms, each with its own installation and maintenance profile:
Extensive Systems: Lightweight with low-growing plants. Minimal maintenance. Ideal for large flat roofs.
Intensive Systems: Thicker soil, shrubs or even small trees. Creates a park-like space for occupants.
Modular Systems: Pre-planted trays that can be installed quickly and replaced individually if needed.
Gorilla Roofing works with landscape architects, engineers and suppliers to design a system that your structure can support and your staff can maintain.
Not every building is ready for a living roof, but every building can benefit from energy-efficient roofing. Options include:
Highly Reflective TPO or PVC Membranes: Reduce heat gain and meet Energy Star standards.
Coatings with High Solar Reflectance: Applied over existing membranes to cut cooling costs.
Insulation Upgrades: Adding or replacing insulation during reroofing to improve thermal performance.
Daylighting Elements: Skylights or light tubes integrated with the roof to reduce interior lighting needs.
Gorilla Roofing’s commercial team evaluates your building envelope, climate zone and budget to recommend the combination that delivers the biggest impact.
Choosing a green or energy-efficient roof delivers tangible benefits:
Lower energy bills from reduced cooling loads.
Extended roof life by protecting membranes from thermal cycling.
Stormwater management credits or reduced fees in some cities.
Tax incentives or grants for sustainable construction.
Positive public image for tenants, investors and customers.
Gorilla Roofing documents all work so you can demonstrate compliance and performance to regulators, insurers and stakeholders.
No. Many existing roofs can be retrofitted with lightweight systems if the structure allows. Gorilla Roofing will evaluate your building and give you clear guidance.
Initial costs may be higher than a standard roof but incentives, energy savings and extended lifespan often outweigh the difference over time.
Maintenance can be handled by your staff or a service plan. Gorilla Roofing offers maintenance packages or can train your team.
