Commercial roofing is a different discipline from residential — low-slope systems, different failure modes, and a building that usually has to keep operating while the work happens. We handle flat and low-slope roofs for businesses, property managers and facility owners across the Metroplex.
Work around your operations
Phased scheduling, out-of-hours where needed. Your building keeps running.
Low-slope specialists
TPO, modified bitumen, built-up and coating systems — not a residential crew improvising.
Maintenance programmes
Scheduled inspection and minor repair, which is far cheaper than reactive replacement.
Systems we install and service
TPO and single-ply membrane. The common choice for low-slope commercial roofs. Reflective, which matters for cooling load through a DFW summer, and mechanically fastened or fully adhered depending on the deck and exposure.
Modified bitumen. Multi-ply, tough, and well suited to roofs that see regular foot traffic for plant maintenance.
Built-up roofing. The traditional layered system. Still a sound choice on the right building, and often what we are repairing or recovering rather than installing new.
Elastomeric coatings. Where the existing membrane is sound, a coating restores the surface, adds reflectivity and extends life without a tear-off. Only appropriate where there is no trapped moisture.
How commercial roofs actually fail
Rarely all at once. Low-slope roofs fail at specific, predictable points:
- Seams and laps, as adhesives and welds age
- Flashings at parapets, curbs and penetrations
- Drains and scuppers that block, leaving standing water — ponding is the single most destructive condition on a flat roof
- Mechanical damage from HVAC servicing, which is a frequent and entirely avoidable cause
- Trapped moisture in the insulation, which spreads well beyond the original entry point and is invisible from the surface
Catching these at inspection is inexpensive. Discovering them when the ceiling tiles in your office start staining is not.
Why maintenance beats replacement
A scheduled maintenance programme — twice-yearly inspection, drain clearance, seam and flashing repair as needed — routinely doubles the service life of a commercial roof. The arithmetic is not close: minor annual expenditure against a capital replacement years earlier than necessary.
We will set up a programme with documented inspections you can hand to an insurer or a prospective buyer.
Storm damage on commercial buildings
Hail damages single-ply membrane in ways that are hard to see and easy for an adjuster to dispute. Commercial claims also carry more complex scopes, code upgrade requirements and larger sums.
If you are still deciding which system to put back on, we have broken down the seven commercial roofing products we fit most often and where each one makes sense.
Our approach is the same as on residential storm damage work — thorough documentation before filing, and we meet the adjuster on the roof — but the evidentiary standard we prepare to is higher. See insurance claims for how that process runs.
How a commercial roofing job runs
Survey and moisture assessment
Membrane condition, seams, flashings, drainage and any trapped moisture in the assembly.
Options and costings
Repair, recover, coat or replace — with realistic remaining-life figures for each.
Scheduling around the business
Phasing agreed so access, noise and disruption are planned rather than discovered.
Installation
Manufacturer-specification install with site safety and containment appropriate to an occupied building.
Handover and maintenance plan
Documentation, warranty registration and a scheduled inspection programme.
