Starbucks Roofing Project
Single Ply Roofing Experts completed new construction roofing for a 3,300-square-foot Starbucks building in Costa Mesa, CA. The project required a carefully coordinated commercial roof installation designed around a new-build schedule, rooftop details, drainage, penetrations, and the long-term demands of a busy retail property.

Overview
New Construction Commercial Roofing for Starbucks in Costa Mesa, CA
A 3,300-square-foot roof may be smaller than a sprawling warehouse or industrial facility, but on a new commercial building, every square foot has to work with the rest of the construction from day one.
For this Starbucks project in Costa Mesa, California, Single Ply Roofing Experts completed the roofing installation as part of the building’s new construction. The goal was to establish a dependable low-slope roofing system while coordinating the details that come with a purpose-built commercial property.
New construction roofing requires more than arriving at the site and installing membrane. Roofing has to fit into a larger construction sequence involving the roof deck, penetrations, mechanical systems, drainage, perimeter conditions, flashing, and other trades working toward the same completion schedule.
By approaching the Starbucks roof as an integrated part of the new building rather than an isolated installation, Single Ply Roofing Experts helped establish the building’s exterior protection from the ground up.
For developers and general contractors planning commercial new construction in Costa Mesa and Orange County, this project demonstrates the value of bringing in a roofing contractor that understands flat and low-slope systems as well as the coordination required on an active construction project.

The challenge
New construction creates a different roofing challenge than replacement work. There is no aging membrane to remove and no existing roof system to restore. Instead, the roofing contractor is responsible for helping turn a newly constructed roof deck into a complete weather-resistant assembly while staying coordinated with the rest of the build. At the Starbucks project in Costa Mesa, the 3,300-square-foot roof had to be integrated around the building's rooftop conditions, penetrations, perimeter details, and drainage requirements while fitting into the broader construction sequence. On a commercial retail project, timing also matters. Roofing work can affect the progress of mechanical, electrical, exterior, and interior trades. Each roof opening and transition needs to be addressed correctly so later phases of construction can move forward without creating unnecessary complications. The challenge was therefore not the sheer size of the roof. It was delivering a precise new construction roof installation where every detail needed to be established correctly from the beginning.
The solution
Single Ply Roofing Experts completed the 3,300-square-foot new construction roofing installation with a focus on coordination, detailing, and long-term roof performance. The roofing work was integrated with the new commercial structure, addressing the roof field together with perimeter conditions, penetrations, drainage areas, and other rooftop details as part of one complete system. For a building constructed from the ground up, this approach matters. Correctly integrating the roofing system during construction helps create a stronger starting point for the property and reduces the need to solve avoidable roofing conflicts after other trades have completed their work. The completed Starbucks project adds another example of Single Ply Roofing Experts' work on commercial flat and low-slope roofing in Costa Mesa and Orange County, particularly for developers, builders, and general contractors who need a roofing team capable of working within an active construction schedule. From the first roof detail to the completed installation, the objective was simple: build the roof correctly the first time so the property can move forward with confidence.
