Palm Harbor, FL - July 1, 2025 - In a move that's reshaping the commercial roofing landscape, CES Roofing, Florida's commercial roofing expert, has unveiled something that property owners across the Sunshine State have been desperately waiting for: a manufacturer-certified Category 5 Hurricane Warranty for Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing systems. This isn't just another incremental improvement—it's a fundamental shift in how commercial buildings can protect themselves against Florida's increasingly fierce hurricane seasons.

For years, commercial property owners have faced a difficult reality. Standard roofing warranties often fall short when Category 4 and 5 hurricanes make landfall, leaving businesses to shoulder massive repair costs at the worst possible time. CES Roofing's new warranty changes that equation entirely, offering protection that stands firm even when winds exceed 157 miles per hour.

What makes this announcement particularly significant is its rarity. CES Roofing now stands among only a handful of commercial roofing companies nationwide offering Category 5 wind coverage for SPF roofs. It's a distinction that speaks volumes about their commitment to engineering excellence and their understanding of what Florida businesses truly need.

"Our Category 5 Warranty isn't just protection—it's proof that commercial roofing has entered a new era," said Bob Qualey, President of CES Roofing. "At CES Roofing, we're building roofs that don't just survive storms—they're built for them."

That philosophy stems from practical experience. With over 12 million square feet of commercial roofing installed across Florida—spanning TPO, metal, modified bitumen, silicone coatings, and SPF systems—the company has witnessed firsthand how different roofing materials perform under extreme stress. This warranty represents the culmination of that knowledge.

The decision to focus this groundbreaking warranty on SPF systems isn't arbitrary. Spray Polyurethane Foam roofing offers distinct advantages that make it particularly well-suited for Florida's challenging climate. Unlike traditional flat roofing systems with seams and mechanical fasteners that can become weak points during hurricanes, SPF creates a seamless, monolithic barrier that's fully adhered to the roof deck.

This construction method delivers exceptional wind uplift resistance. When hurricane-force winds bear down on a building, they create powerful suction forces that can literally peel conventional roofing materials away. SPF's complete adhesion counters this effect, distributing wind loads across the entire roof surface rather than concentrating stress at vulnerable attachment points.

Water intrusion becomes another concern during major storms. Even minor roof damage during a hurricane can allow rainwater to penetrate buildings, causing extensive interior damage that often exceeds the cost of roof repairs. The seamless nature of SPF roofing eliminates the seams and joints where water typically finds entry points, providing superior protection when every other defense matters most.

Beyond storm protection, SPF roofing delivers tangible benefits for everyday operations. The material's exceptional insulation properties reduce cooling costs—a significant consideration in Florida's climate. Property owners typically see measurable energy savings that accumulate year after year, offsetting initial installation investments while reducing their carbon footprint.

Property managers, facility directors, building owners, and asset managers all face the same fundamental challenge: protecting their investments while controlling long-term costs. This warranty directly addresses both concerns.

The lifecycle cost advantages of SPF roofing become even more compelling when backed by Category 5 hurricane protection. Fewer repairs mean less disruption to business operations. Energy savings compound over time. And knowing that your roof can withstand the worst storms Florida can produce provides a level of security that's difficult to quantify but impossible to ignore.

For asset managers overseeing multiple properties, the risk mitigation aspect alone carries enormous weight. Hurricane damage doesn't just mean repair bills—it means potential business interruption, lost revenue, and complicated insurance claims. Having roofing systems specifically warranted to withstand Category 5 winds transforms how these risks appear on balance sheets.

CES Roofing's track record across Florida's major commercial markets—Tampa, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and surrounding areas—demonstrates their understanding of regional weather patterns and building requirements. They've seen how different roofing systems perform through multiple hurricane seasons, and they've used that knowledge to develop solutions that genuinely work.

This Category 5 warranty represents more than just confidence in a product. It reflects a larger investment in innovation and high-performance solutions designed to keep buildings safe and operational even when disaster looms on the horizon. In a state where hurricane preparedness isn't optional, having a roofing partner who guarantees their work against the strongest possible storms provides invaluable peace of mind.

As Florida continues to experience intense hurricane activity, the importance of resilient infrastructure only grows. Commercial buildings need protection that matches the scale of modern storms, and CES Roofing's Category 5 Hurricane Warranty for SPF systems delivers exactly that—proof that commercial roofing technology has evolved to meet the challenges ahead.
