Mall & Shopping Center Roofing
QRS provides shopping center roofing across Los Angeles and Orange County, surveying, repairing and replacing the many roofs over a center’s tenant spaces and common areas in phases. We coordinate the work with center management and plan it around store hours, deliveries, entrances and parking, so tenants and shoppers can carry on.
Overview
Malls and shopping centers grow and change, and so do their roofs. Sections built at different times sit at different heights, each tenant space tends to add its own rooftop units, and every remodel can leave behind new penetrations, abandoned curbs or quick patches. Skylights over common areas, parapets with signage and long runs of drains complete the picture. Water can travel across connected sections before it shows up in a store, so we follow each leak back across the roof to where it actually starts.
Work on an open center takes coordination. We plan the scope with center management, phase it across roof sections and tenant spaces, and schedule around store hours, deliveries, entrances and parking. Closeout photos by section give you a record of what was done above each space. We work with centers across Los Angeles and Orange County, and it all starts with a roof survey: request an estimate and we’ll take it from there.
Our Process
How a shopping center roofing project works
Center-wide roof survey
We survey each roof section and tenant space, photographing rooftop units, penetrations, skylights, drains and parapets.
- Rooftop units and tenant penetrations
- Skylights over common areas
- Drains, scuppers and parapet flashing
Phasing and tenant plan
Phases are set out by section in the written scope and price, with work hours, access routes and staging agreed with center management.
- Phase boundaries by roof section
- Access routes and staging areas
- Store hours and delivery windows
Installation, phase by phase
Crews work one phase at a time, with entrances, walkways and parking planned around the work.
Closeout photos for each phase
Photos document every finished phase, so you can update tenants and ownership as the project moves along.
A long-term roof plan
Scheduled care and fresh photos help you plan repairs and future phases across the whole center.

Section-by-section photos are useful for ownership reports and when a space changes hands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about shopping center roofing.
Can the center stay open during a roof replacement?
That’s the plan on most projects. We phase the work by section, schedule it around store hours, deliveries and busy seasons, and settle access and staging with center management before anything starts.
Who coordinates with the tenants?
Center management usually leads tenant communication, and we support it. For each phase, we provide the work areas, dates and any access changes, so tenants hear one consistent message.
Why do leaks keep appearing after tenant remodels?
Tenant improvements often add or move rooftop units, ducts and vents, and the roofing around them isn’t always put back properly. Our survey flags those spots with photos so they can be repaired, then checked again after future remodels.
Do you roof freestanding stores and office buildings too?
Yes. See retail store roofing for single stores and pad buildings, and office building roofing if your portfolio includes office properties.
Can you help us plan roof budgets for the whole center?
Yes. A center-wide survey with photos by section shows which areas need attention now and which can be planned for later. That gives ownership a clearer picture for budgeting repairs and future replacement phases.
