Commercial Roofing Contractor in Houston and Pearland

Commercial Roof Systems We Install

We do not push one system, because no single system fits every building. The table below is how the main options stack up in the Houston climate.

For a deeper look at each option, read our TPO vs mod bit vs metal comparison. For metal on commercial buildings, see our metal roofing page.

TPO Roofing in Houston

TPO is a go-to for flat roofs in our area. The white surface reflects a large share of the sun's heat, and seams are welded with hot air so they become a single sheet. We install TPO mechanically fastened or fully adhered depending on the deck, wind exposure and insulation plan.

Modified Bitumen

Modified bitumen is a multi-ply asphalt system that stands up well to foot traffic, which makes it a good fit for roofs with lots of HVAC units and frequent service visits. A reflective cap sheet or coating helps manage heat on the surface.

Metal and Coatings

Metal panels suit warehouses, churches and buildings with enough slope to shed water quickly. Coatings are a restoration tool, not a fix for a failing roof. Applied over a sound membrane or metal roof, silicone or acrylic coatings seal small leaks and reflect sunlight, and they can often be recoated later.

Flat Roof Repair

Most flat roof leaks start at seams, penetrations, drains and flashing at walls and curbs, and ponding water speeds up all of it. The wet spot on the ceiling is rarely under the hole in the roof. Our commercial roof repair team traces the water back to where it is actually getting in.

Property Types We Serve

• Retail centers and strip centers
• Office buildings
• Warehouses and light industrial
• Multifamily and apartment buildings
• Churches and places of worship
• HOA clubhouses, pool buildings and amenity structures
• Restaurants

Each comes with its own concerns: kitchen exhaust grease on restaurant roofs, foot traffic on HVAC-heavy office roofs and Sunday schedules for churches. We plan around them.

Repair vs Replace vs Restore

Not every aging roof needs to come off. We sort them three ways:

• Repair when damage is limited to specific areas, the membrane is otherwise sound and insulation is dry.
• Restore with a coating when the roof is structurally sound, insulation is mostly dry and the surface is weathered. Restoration can extend service life without full tear-off.
• Replace when insulation is widely saturated, leaks are widespread, the system has reached the end of its life or there are multiple layers already in place.

Core samples and moisture checks help tell which path makes sense. Our post on roof repair vs replacement covers the same logic for residential roofs.

Preventive Maintenance Programs

Small problems on flat roofs turn into big ones fast in Houston heat and rain. A maintenance program keeps your roof on a schedule instead of on an emergency call.

A typical program includes:

• Scheduled inspections, often in spring and fall
• Clearing drains, scuppers and gutters
• Checking seams, flashing and penetrations
• Resealing pitch pans and minor repairs as found
• Photo documentation and a written condition report
• A post-storm check after major weather

Regular documentation also helps when you file an insurance claim or plan capital budgets. Property managers with several buildings can keep every roof on one schedule, with condition reports that make it easier to decide which roof needs attention first and which can wait another year.

Storm Response for Businesses

Spring brings hail, and June 1 to November 30 brings hurricane season. After a storm, we help businesses with:

• Emergency tarping or temporary repairs to stop active leaks
• Damage documentation with photos for your insurance carrier
• Meeting with insurance adjusters on site
• Permanent repair or replacement planning

See our storm damage restoration page for more on how we work with adjusters.

How We Bid and Manage Commercial Projects

A commercial job goes wrong when nobody wrote the plan down. Ours runs like this:

1. Site walk. We walk the roof and the interior, look at drains, equipment and access, and talk through your goals.
2. Core samples where needed. On roofs where we cannot confirm layers or moisture visually, we take cores to see what is underneath.
3. Written scope. You get a detailed proposal listing the system, insulation, flashing, drains and any wood or deck repair, so bids can be compared fairly.
4. Scheduling around operations. We plan work hours, staging and noisy tasks around your business, tenants or services.
5. Safety. Fall protection, controlled access zones and protection for people and vehicles below.
6. Cleanup. Daily debris removal and a final cleanup of the roof, grounds and parking areas.

For buildings in Brazoria and Galveston counties and the part of Harris County east of State Highway 146, roofing work generally must meet the windstorm code. We install to that code and coordinate the required inspection when a project needs one.
