Commercial Roofing Services in Plano, TX

Clogged or badly flashed drains cause a lot of leaks. Roof drain and scupper repair deals with the bowl, clamping ring, sump and membrane around it, while a broken leader pipe inside goes to a plumber. Edge metal, coping and gutter work starts with checking the wood nailer behind the metal. At skylight and penetration flashing, the top edge matters as much as the base.

Not every roof needs the same fix. A coating won't replace a rotten nailer, a cracked drain bowl or loose edge metal. The repair has to match the membrane: TPO and PVC are heat-welded, EPDM is taped or glued, and mod-bit is torched or set in adhesive. A useful estimate lists what's torn out, what stays and what other trades handle. Since one inspected drain doesn't speak for the rest of the roof, we also say where else we'd check and why.

Coordinating trades and occupants

Work at rooftop equipment curbs and supports ties our schedule to the mechanical contractor's. Units may need to be disconnected or raised so curbs can be reflashed at the right height, and an engineer reviews any changes to supports. That mechanical work goes in the schedule beside the roofing that waits on it.

When the building stays open, occupied-building reroofing gets planned with the facility manager. We go over what's under each work area, which rooftop units must shut down and when, the route for hoisting and debris, and hours that keep noise and odors away from tenants. An inspection visit isn't permission to tear off, and it doesn't mean the space below is ready. If we uncover more wet insulation or deck damage, we stop, show you and revise the price before expanding. Open sections get a temporary seal overnight. The closeout paperwork shows what's done and what another trade still owes.

Separate roof leaks from freeze damage

During the February 2021 freeze, burst pipes and water damage cost Collin College more than $2.1 million, with its Plano Campus hit hardest and closed through March 14. After a hard freeze, a ceiling stain can come from a split sprinkler line as easily as from the roof. We check the roof details above the stain and tell you plainly if the water looks like a plumbing or equipment problem instead.

Price the work that closes the issue

A service estimate should name the roof problem we found, the tear-off and prep, any repairs underneath and the permanent fix. Temporary patches stay on their own line until the permanent work is done. If a plumber or mechanical contractor has to correct a pipe or curb first, the estimate says so, along with what we need to see before we close up the roof.

Commercial Roofing Questions

How should an owner choose the first service?

If you have a known leak, start with an inspection of that area. If the roof is older or you suspect wet insulation over large areas, an infrared survey backed by core cuts gives a better picture before you choose repair or replacement.

What makes repair amounts comparable?

Bids are comparable when they include the same tear-off area, the same repairs underneath, the same flashing and tie-in details and the same exclusions. Ask each contractor to list what another trade has to do.

Does freeze-week water damage prove a roof leak?

No. Freeze damage often comes from burst pipes or sprinkler lines. We compare where the water showed up with what we find on the roof and tell you if it points to plumbing or equipment instead.

What should an estimate include?

The roof problem found, the prep and repairs underneath, the permanent fix, temporary protection on its own line, and any work another trade must finish first.
