Movie Theater & Cinema Roofing in Bakersfield, CA

Most often 60-mil or 80-mil TPO mechanically attached over tapered polyiso. The tapered insulation corrects the drainage problems that accumulate on flat theater roofs, and white TPO meets cool-roof energy code on a reroof permit. We add reinforced walkway pads around rooftop units to protect the membrane from service traffic.

We verify the deck type, rib depth, and gauge and run pull-out testing before specifying mechanical attachment, since older short-rib deck holds fasteners less well than modern three-inch deck. On spans where deflection is a concern we may use an adhered or hybrid system to avoid concentrating point loads at the seams.

Yes. We plan tear-off and dry-in around the screening schedule so each section is watertight before evening shows, and we coordinate any HVAC shutdown windows with facilities management for curb and penetration work.

Per roof square based on membrane spec, existing assembly condition, penetration density, and access. Most multiplex reroofs include a tapered insulation design, which adds cost but extends membrane life by eliminating ponding. We give fixed-price proposals after a roof walk and core sample.

Yes. Sign supports and canopy frames that penetrate the membrane are flashed as individual items, and we re-flash the entry canopy-to-building transition, which is the most common chronic leak on older theaters.
