The kind of roofing installed on industrial buildings is often the same type that you can find on retail or office properties since these all fall under the C-class category for zoning standards and building codes. In other words, they typically get a spray-on silicone EPDM rubber membrane to protect their single layer from water damage while allowing heat out in warmer months.

Retail buildings will often use a single-ply membrane due to the lightweight construction needed for these properties.

Office roofs can be made from many different materials depending on style preferences and budget. Many office buildings use a metal or composite shingle system with standing seams that blend in beautifully with other architectural features on the building exterior.

Multi-unit housing such as apartment complexes and condos need a particular type of roofing to ensure every unit has the same warranty.

Both hotels and lodging properties can benefit from different kinds of commercial roofing depending on what they offer guests, how much damage is expected during periods of rain or snow, etc. Some examples include metal shingle roofs durable enough for wet climates with moderate levels of UV exposure, green roofs that allow plants to grow in an otherwise difficult environment (e.g., high winds), rubber membranes designed specifically for commercial-style buildings, etc.

Luxury homes will use any number of commercial roofing types to best suit their overall style and features.

Commercial roofing for restaurants is mostly the same as hotel and lodging properties with some slight variations, such as shingle roofs (which can be more aesthetically pleasing), metal or vinyl membranes that are weather-resistant enough to handle wind exposure in addition to rain, etc.
