Commercial Roofing Plano
Professional commercial roofing installation, repair, and maintenance throughout Plano and Collin County. We coordinate TPO, EPDM, metal roofing, and built-up systems with licensed roofing contractors experienced in North Texas commercial construction. From warehouse reroofs to emergency leak repairs, we connect your Plano property with qualified roofing professionals who understand local climate challenges and building code requirements.
Commercial roofing in Plano, Texas demands expertise in both roofing systems and North Texas climate challenges. Our network connects commercial property owners, facility managers, and general contractors with licensed roofing professionals who understand the unique demands of Plano's commercial construction market.
Plano's climate creates specific roofing challenges: intense summer heat and UV exposure accelerate membrane aging, severe thunderstorms and hail damage require impact-resistant systems, temperature extremes from winter freezes to summer heat stress roofing materials, and flat commercial roof designs require proper drainage to prevent ponding water. The roofing contractors in our network have extensive experience addressing these North Texas-specific conditions.
Your commercial roof is the primary defense against North Texas weather extremes. A failing roof can lead to interior water damage, inventory loss, business interruption, and costly emergency repairs. Conversely, a properly designed and maintained commercial roof protects your investment, reduces energy costs through proper insulation and reflective surfaces, maintains property value and tenant satisfaction, and provides decades of reliable service.
All roofing contractors in our Plano network maintain active Texas contractor licenses, comprehensive general liability insurance ($2M+ coverage typical), and workers compensation policies. Many hold manufacturer certifications from major roofing material suppliers including GAF, Firestone, Carlisle, and Johns Manville. This ensures proper installation techniques and activates long-term material warranties.

Climate Challenges
Plano's climate creates specific challenges for commercial roofing systems. Here's how experienced roofing contractors address North Texas conditions:
Challenge
Impact
Plano's summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, accelerating roof deterioration
Solution
We specify reflective roof membranes and UV-resistant materials proven in North Texas climate. TPO and metal roofing with high solar reflectance index (SRI) reduce membrane temperatures by 30-50°F, extending service life and reducing cooling costs.
Challenge
Impact
North Texas hailstorms can damage commercial roofs requiring emergency repairs and insurance claims
Solution
We install impact-resistant roofing systems rated for severe weather. Metal roofing withstands hail impacts that would puncture membrane systems. Emergency response teams mobilize within hours for storm damage to prevent interior water damage.
Challenge
Impact
Plano's temperature swings from 20°F winter lows to 105°F summer highs stress roofing materials
Solution
Proper expansion joint design, adequate fastening patterns, and flexible membrane systems accommodate thermal movement. We specify materials with proven track record in North Texas thermal cycling conditions.
Challenge
Impact
Low-slope commercial roofs can develop standing water leading to premature membrane failure
Solution
We coordinate with structural engineers to ensure proper roof drainage design. Tapered insulation systems create positive drainage to roof drains. Cricket construction at roof penetrations prevents water pooling.

Roofing FAQs
Common questions about commercial roofing in Plano, Texas:
Commercial roof service life varies by system type and maintenance. In Plano's harsh climate: TPO and EPDM membrane roofs typically last 15-25 years, metal roofing systems 40-70 years, built-up roofing 15-20 years, and modified bitumen 15-20 years. Proper installation, regular maintenance, and addressing repairs promptly significantly extends service life. North Texas heat, UV exposure, and hail events accelerate aging compared to milder climates.
TPO (white membrane) and EPDM (black rubber) are both single-ply commercial roofing systems. TPO's white surface reflects sunlight reducing cooling costs by 10-20% in Plano's hot climate, while EPDM's black surface absorbs heat. TPO uses heat-welded seams creating stronger joints than EPDM's adhesive seams. EPDM has longer proven track record (50+ years) while TPO is newer technology (30 years). For Plano commercial buildings, TPO often preferred for energy efficiency, while EPDM chosen for proven durability and lower cost.
Yes, we provide emergency commercial roof repair services throughout Plano and Collin County. Our emergency response includes immediate tarping to stop active leaks, temporary weatherproofing to protect building contents, damage assessment for insurance documentation, and permanent repairs scheduled based on urgency. We maintain crews available for storm damage response and can typically mobilize within 2-4 hours for critical leaks. Emergency repairs prevent interior damage, protect inventory, and maintain business operations.
Most commercial roofing work in Plano requires building permits from the City of Plano Building Inspection Department. Permits needed for: complete roof replacements, structural deck repairs, rooftop unit installations, and significant roof modifications. Minor repairs typically don't require permits. Permit applications require: building plans showing roof layout, structural calculations if adding weight (solar panels, HVAC units), contractor's license verification, and insurance certificates. Permit approval typically takes 5-10 business days. We handle all permit coordination for Plano commercial roofing projects.
Commercial roofing costs in Plano vary significantly based on system type, building size, and roof complexity. Typical ranges per square foot installed: TPO membrane $6-10, EPDM membrane $5-8, standing seam metal $12-18, built-up roofing $5-9, roof coatings $2-4 (restoration). A 20,000 square foot commercial building might cost $120,000-$200,000 for complete reroof. Factors affecting price: tear-off requirements, insulation thickness, number of penetrations, parapet heights, and warranty terms. We provide detailed estimates after site evaluation.
Repair vs. replace decision depends on roof age, damage extent, and budget. Generally repair if: roof is less than halfway through expected service life, damage is localized to small area (under 25% of roof), and budget constraints require deferring replacement. Replace if: roof approaching end of service life, widespread leaks or deterioration, adding significant insulation value for energy savings, or selling/refinancing property. For Plano commercial roofs 15+ years old with multiple leak areas, replacement typically more cost-effective than repeated repairs. We provide both repair and replacement estimates with 10-year cost comparison.
