Services
Commercial Roofing Services in Houston
A small leak, an emergency, scheduled maintenance or a full replacement — we inspect first and explain which one your building actually needs.
Commercial roof inspection
Membrane condition, seams and transitions, flashing at walls and curbs, pipe penetrations, drains and ponding areas, storm damage, soft spots, skylights and canopies. You get it explained in plain terms, in writing.
Emergency commercial repair
Active leaks, membrane punctures, storm and wind damage. Typical response 2–4 hours, any day. First job is stopping the water; the permanent fix follows once it is dry.
Leak detection
Water travels along decking and insulation before it shows inside. We trace it to the actual entry point rather than patching where the ceiling tile stained.
Commercial roof replacement
When repair has stopped being economic. Full system, specified for the building rather than whatever is cheapest that week.
Roof retrofitting
Upgrading a roof without a full tear-off — often significantly cheaper, and possible more often than property managers expect.
Preventative maintenance
Scheduled inspection and minor repair. Most commercial roof failures start as a clogged drain or an open seam that cost very little to fix early.
Systems
Commercial Roofing Systems We Service in Houston
The right system depends on slope, drainage, rooftop equipment, energy goals and how long you intend to hold the building. Here is what each one is, and where it usually fails.
TPOThermoplastic polyolefin
The most common single-ply system on Houston flat roofs. Reflective surface, which matters in Gulf Coast heat. Fails at seams and punctures more often than across the field.
Typically found on: Offices, retail centres, warehouses, medical buildings, multifamily
PVCPolyvinyl chloride
Single-ply with strong chemical and grease resistance, which is why it turns up on restaurants and kitchens. Heat-welded seams hold up well when installed properly.
Typically found on: Restaurants, food processing, industrial
EPDMRubber membrane
Long-established rubber roofing, usually black. Durable and repairable, though it absorbs heat rather than reflecting it — a real consideration here.
Typically found on: Warehouses, older commercial buildings
Modified bitumenTorch-down and self-adhered
Multi-ply asphalt system, tough underfoot and forgiving of foot traffic. Common where roof access is frequent.
Typically found on: Buildings with rooftop equipment, mixed-use
Built-up (BUR)Tar and gravel
The traditional layered system, still on a great many Houston buildings. Repairable, though leaks can be harder to trace under the gravel.
Typically found on: Older offices, schools, institutional
MetalStanding seam and panel
Long service life, and fails at fasteners, seams and penetrations rather than across the panel. Often repairable long after it looks past it.
Typically found on: Warehouses, churches, agricultural, retail
Roof coatingsSilicone and acrylic
Extends the life of a roof that is still sound — sometimes by years, at a fraction of replacement cost. Not right for every roof, which is why we inspect first.
Typically found on: Aging membranes in fair condition
Flat & low-slopeAll systems
The common thread across most Houston commercial roofs. Drainage decides everything: ponding water is the single most reliable predictor of a roof that will fail early.
Typically found on: Almost all commercial building types
Not sure what is on your roof? Most property managers do not. We identify it during the inspection, at no charge.
Property types
Buildings We Work On Across Houston
Roof type, age, slope, drainage and how the building is used all change what the right answer is. So does who is inside while we work.
Office buildings
Flat and low-slope roofs, drainage, and repair schedules that have to work around tenants.
Retail centres
Multiple units, shared roofs, and leaks that become several tenants' problem at once.
Warehouses
Large spans, metal and single-ply, and stock underneath that cannot get wet.
Restaurants & hotels
Grease exposure around kitchen exhausts, and work that has to happen outside service hours.
Churches & schools
Older buildings, mixed roof types, and budgets set well in advance.
Medical offices
Sensitive equipment, strict access control, and no tolerance for water intrusion.
Multifamily
Residents in place throughout, and a roof that covers a lot of separate homes.
Scheduling matters as much as the roof. Most of our commercial work is timed around trading hours, tenant access or service periods. Tell us the constraint and we will build the schedule around it.
The decision
Commercial Roof Repair or Replacement?
Not every problem needs a replacement. Often a proper repair solves it and buys years. Sometimes repeated repairs are just an expensive way of postponing the inevitable.
Repair is usually right when
- Damage is limited to one area
- The roof is not near the end of its service life
- The membrane is still in fair condition
- The leak source is clear and reachable
- Drainage is working properly
- There is no history of repeated failures
Replacement is usually better when
- The roof leaks in several places at once
- Damage is widespread rather than local
- Repairs keep failing and returning
- The roof is near the end of its life
- There has been major storm damage
- Ponding water is a persistent problem
The cost nobody tracks
On a commercial building the repair bill is rarely the real number. Tenant complaints, damaged stock, interrupted trading and staff time spent managing it all cost something too — and none of it appears on the roofing invoice.
When we inspect, we give you written options with prices: repair, coat, or replace. Something you can take to a budget meeting rather than a single number and a recommendation to trust.
A coating is sometimes the third answer. On a roof that is still sound, a silicone or acrylic coating can add years for a fraction of replacement cost. It is not right for every roof, which is why we look before suggesting it.

Commercial Roofing Questions, Answered
Do you offer emergency commercial roof repair?
Yes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Active leaks, storm and wind damage, membrane punctures, flashing failures and water intrusion. Typical response is 2 to 4 hours.
The first job is stopping water entering the building. The permanent repair follows once it is dry and we can see what actually failed.
Can a coating extend the life of my roof?
Sometimes, and it can be excellent value when the roof is in suitable condition. A silicone or acrylic coating over a sound membrane can add years for a fraction of replacement cost.
It is not right for every roof. Coating over a failing membrane or a roof with trapped moisture buys very little and hides the problem. That is why we inspect before recommending one.
Will the work disrupt my tenants or trading?
That is usually the constraint that shapes the schedule, so tell us about it early. We work around trading hours, service periods and tenant access, and on occupied buildings we agree the sequence before starting.
For restaurants and retail, most work happens outside opening hours. For offices, we plan around floors rather than shutting the building.
What does a commercial roof repair cost?
It depends on system, access, roof size and what has actually failed — far more variable than residential, which is why we do not publish a table for it. What we do publish is the process: free inspection, then written options with prices for repair, coating and replacement.
For context on residential pricing, our roof repair page lists twenty common repairs with prices.
Do you work with insurance on commercial storm damage?
Yes. We document damage across the roof, photograph it section by section, and meet the adjuster on site. On commercial buildings the scope disputes are usually about how much of the roof is affected, which is exactly what documentation settles.
Hail damage frequently does not leak for months, so getting it documented soon after a storm matters more than it seems at the time.
Which areas do you cover for commercial work?
Across Greater Houston from our Spring Branch office — the inner loop, Memorial, Bellaire, West University Place, Katy, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Richmond, Stafford and Pearland.
Northwest Houston, including Tomball, Klein, Spring, Cypress and The Woodlands, is covered from our Tomball office on (713) 766-3464.
