Roof Damage Repair in Plano, TX

Water that sits for days usually means a clogged drain, a low deck or crushed insulation; ponding water repair fixes that cause, not just the puddle. Flashing failure repair needs sound substrate behind it and a sealed top edge. Seam failure repair depends on the membrane and whether old seams will still take a weld.

A good damage estimate spells out how much material comes off, what stays, and what gets rebuilt underneath before new membrane goes down. A coating won't fix rotted wood blocking at the edge or a cracked drain line inside the building. If a plumber or mechanical contractor has to do their part first, the estimate says so. If the deck or framing needs changes, an engineer should weigh in. One core cut tells us about that spot, not the whole roof. We keep what we know apart from what we suspect, so you pay for repairs the evidence supports, not a lump sum tied to a storm date.

Before the roof is opened

An infrared moisture survey can map where wet insulation is likely hiding, but the readings depend on weather, timing and the roof surface. We confirm suspect areas with core cuts before deciding what to replace.

Damage repairs over working space take planning with the building contact. For repairs over occupied areas, we talk through what sits below the work zone, which rooftop units need to shut down, and how material and debris will move on and off the roof. An inspection visit doesn't mean the room below is ready for tear-off. If opening the roof turns up more wet insulation or deck rust than expected, we photograph it, mark it on a plan, price the extra area and check again with the people downstairs before going further. Open areas get a temporary seal overnight. The final record lists what we finished and anything still waiting on another trade.

Keep the storm date with the finding

Plano’s March 4, 2025 wind event brought gusts over 80 mph and tore part of the metal roof off Plano West Senior High’s gym. That's a documented event at one building; your roof still needs its own inspection. We log the storm date next to each damaged area we find, with photos, and point out anything under the surface, like wet insulation or pulled fasteners, that has to be opened before the repair can be priced.

What a repair price should include

A repair price should cover tear-off down to sound material, any new blocking, cover board or flashing underneath, and the finished membrane tie-in. Temporary patches and tarps are listed apart from the permanent repair. If the damage runs past the approved area once we open the roof, we stop, show you, and send a revised number, so you can see the original scope and the addition side by side.

Commercial Roofing Questions

Does a big storm in the area mean my roof was damaged?

Not necessarily. Storms hit unevenly, and two buildings on the same street can fare very differently. We inspect your roof, photograph what we find and note anything we couldn't check.

How do I compare two storm repair bids?

Check whether each includes the same tear-off area, replacement of wet insulation or damaged blocking, flashing work and the finished tie-in. Also check whether it lists work another trade must do first. A cheaper bid often leaves one of these out.

Does the March 2025 Plano West roof event prove damage at another building?

No. It's a documented local event at one school. Any other building needs its own inspection before anyone assigns storm damage or a repair quantity to it.

What should a damage estimate identify?

Where the damage is, how much material comes off, what gets rebuilt underneath, the permanent repair and the price for each. Temporary protection should be a separate line.
