Property Types We Roof in Plano, TX

On hospital roofing, drain work and plumbing coordination are priced right next to the membrane. Shopping center roofing often needs parapet backing repaired before new wall flashing can go on. Hotel roofing is based on what we find at the walls and the roof system itself. In every one of these buildings, the people below keep working, so access and interior protection are planned with management before work starts.

We price the full repair, not just the visible membrane. If wall backing, a drain or a rooftop unit needs work first, we name the trade that handles it. Structural changes go to an engineer. Seam materials and adhesives have to match the existing membrane. One good spot on the roof doesn't mean the whole roof is in the same shape, so the estimate notes where we tested and what still needs checking before deciding whether to keep the existing layers or tear more off.

Review preparations for the subject space

When a job involves rooftop equipment curbs and supports, we identify the specific unit and coordinate with its service contractor on disconnects, clearances and any alterations. New membrane around a curb doesn't finish HVAC work that was left out of the price.

For tear-off over occupied space, our occupied building reroofing plan is set with the building manager. We go over what's below each section, which equipment or contents need protecting, and the route crews and materials will use. Permission to inspect isn't the same as a cleared room. If we find more damage once the roof is open, we show you where it is and explain the added work before going further. We keep the area weathertight while other trades finish their part, and the closeout separates our completed work from anything another contractor still owes.

Include the affected space

The February 2021 winter storm dropped four to five inches of snow on Collin County, and burst pipes and water damage cost Collin College more than $2.1 million, with the Plano Campus hit hardest. Freeze events like that are a reminder to plan for what sits below the roof. Before we open any section, we confirm which room and equipment are underneath and who at the building handles them.

Confirm the building is ready

Our price includes the access and protection rules for your property. We confirm who moves contents, shuts down equipment or closes off an area, and when the crew can start. If the building isn't ready, we show the schedule impact and price any temporary protection separately from the permanent roof work.

Commercial Roofing Questions

Does the type of building tell you what roof it has?

No. We confirm the actual roof system at your building and use any construction records as a starting point. The building type alone can't tell us what's under the membrane or whether the deck is sound.

How do we compare roofing estimates for our property?

Look for the tear-off, what's staying in place and how each detail will be finished. Each estimate should name who handles any non-roofing work and account for the space under the roof while it's open.

Does the Collin College freeze damage mean other buildings were damaged too?

No. It's a local example of what a freeze can do to one campus. Every building needs its own inspection, including a look at what's underneath the roof.

Who prepares the interior before roof work starts?

Your property manager or building representative coordinates the affected rooms, equipment and access with us before any tear-off begins.
