Commercial Roofing
Commercial Roofs Fail
on a Different Schedule.
Low-slope commercial roofing does not behave like a residential pitched roof. Water does not run off — it sits, and it finds the one detail that was not done properly.
What we handle
- Scheduled inspections and condition reports for property managers and owners.
- Preventative maintenance programs that address small failures before they become capital expenditure.
- Leak diagnosis on low-slope and flat systems — including tracing water that has travelled across the deck.
- Repair of seams, terminations, penetrations, drains and flashing details.
- Storm damage assessment and restoration.
- Full system replacement.
Why low-slope roofs are different
Ponding water
On a pitched roof, gravity is on your side. On a low-slope roof, drainage is a designed system — and when a drain clogs or a deck deflects, water stands. Standing water accelerates membrane degradation and adds significant structural load.
Details, not field
Commercial roofs rarely fail in the middle of a large membrane field. They fail at terminations, penetrations, curbs, seams and drains. An inspection that only walks the field is not an inspection.
Rooftop equipment
HVAC units, condenser lines, exhaust fans and the foot traffic that services them are a persistent source of damage. Every service visit by another trade is a chance for a puncture nobody reports.
Working around your operations
Commercial work has constraints residential work does not: tenants, business hours, deliveries, safety compliance and access. We plan the sequence around your operations and confirm it in writing before we mobilise.
Common Questions
Straight Answers.
We assess and service the common low-slope systems found on Houston metro properties. The right answer for a replacement depends on the building, the deck, the rooftop equipment and how the space is used — we will walk you through the trade-offs rather than defaulting to one product.
Frequently, yes. Tell us the operational constraints early and we will build the schedule around them.
Yes. Photographed condition reports with identified deficiencies and recommended priorities are a standard part of a commercial inspection.
Twice a year is a common baseline for low-slope systems, plus after any significant storm. Drains and penetrations are where problems start, and both benefit from being checked seasonally.
