Retrofits and insulation upgrades for industrial metal buildings

Industrial roofing and cladding

Better roofs for working buildings

TCR provides commercial roofing and cladding in Georgetown for plants, logistics buildings and industrial units on the I-35 and SH 130 corridors. Older metal buildings here are strong candidates for a retrofit: new framing and a new metal roof built above the existing one, with the depth for a proper insulation upgrade.

More than 20 years of commercial roofing work sits behind that advice. Every recommendation follows a look at the roof, the purlins and the insulation underneath, because those three decide whether a building should be retrofitted, re-sheeted, coated or clad in insulated panels.

Industrial Georgetown: I-35, SH 130 and SH 29

Georgetown is the Williamson County seat, and two major highways run through it. I-35 carries traffic north and south through the city, and the SH 130 toll road reaches its northern end at I-35 just north of town. Industrial and logistics development has followed both highways, off SH 130 and near I-35, while SH 29 crosses the city east to west.

That gives us two kinds of building to work on. Newer logistics and industrial buildings need their large roofs and walls kept tight from the start. Older metal buildings, shops and plants need the envelope brought up to the standard a modern business expects inside.

Retrofit with an insulation upgrade

Many older metal buildings were insulated with a thin faced blanket draped over the purlins and squeezed flat at every one. The result is a building that bakes in summer, drips condensation on cold mornings and costs more to condition than it should.

A metal roof retrofit deals with the roof and the insulation in one project. We fix new sub-purlins over the old panels and into the structure, lay insulation in the depth they create and install a new metal roof on top. The old roof stays as a working deck, so the plant floor stays dry. Our metal roof retrofit service around Austin covers framing options and slope build-ups.

Building on the Balcones Escarpment

The Balcones Escarpment divides Georgetown. West of it the ground is hilly limestone country with thin soil; east of I-35 it flattens into Blackland Prairie. The escarpment also marks the band known as Flash Flood Alley, where warm Gulf air rises over the higher ground and storms can unload heavy rain quickly.

Spring storms bring hail and strong gusts to Georgetown as well. We size gutters and downspouts for downpours, detail eaves and valleys to carry water off fast, and tighten fastener patterns at roof edges and corners, where wind pulls hardest.

Systems for Georgetown industrial buildings

Retrofit With More Insulation

Metal Roof Retrofit: sub-purlins lift a new metal roof clear of the failing one, and thicker insulation fills the cavity between them. It suits an older metal building that has to stay in production.

TPO for Logistics Roofs

TPO Roofing: for the low-slope roofs on logistics and industrial buildings off SH 130 and I-35, a white heat-welded membrane laid new, after a tear-off, or as a recover where the existing roof is dry and sound.

R-Panel Re-Sheet With Insulation

R-Panel Roofs and Walls: ribbed R-panel and PBR sheets, fixed with exposed fasteners, for re-sheeting shops, plants and extensions, in MBCI and Morin panels or our own specification R-panel systems, with new insulation behind them.

Insulated Panels for Steady Temperatures

Insulated Metal Panels: factory-made panels with an insulating core for production, storage and office areas that need steady temperatures, from Kingspan and AWIP, both of which have certified us to install their panels.

When the process needs a controlled space

Some manufacturing and storage buildings need more than a better roof. When a process, a product or the people inside need steady temperatures, we recommend insulated metal panels for the roof, the walls or both. Faces, core and joints arrive as one unit, so the insulation runs unbroken and the building is far easier to keep airtight.

We are a certified installer of Kingspan insulated metal panels and AWIP panels. For panel choices and the detailing around docks and openings, see insulated metal panels in the Austin area.

Coating steel that is still sound

Not every older roof in Georgetown needs a retrofit. If the panels are solid and the problems are a chalked finish, rusting fasteners and early cut-edge corrosion, a protective coating system stops the rust and renews the surface. Our coating work runs on American WeatherStar and Sika systems, both of which have certified us as an installer, and we tell you plainly when the steel is too far gone to coat.

Coatings are not only for old buildings. On a newer roof where cut edges and fastener heads already show the first orange staining, treating them early stops the corrosion from creeping back under the paint.

Shifts, docks and deliveries

We plan each job around your shifts, docks and deliveries. Crane lifts, material drops and work above sensitive lines are agreed with your plant manager in advance, and loading docks stay usable while we work overhead.

Owners with buildings further south on I-35 or southwest along US 183 get the same approach: see commercial roofing in Round Rock and commercial roofing in Cedar Park.

What to send before we visit

On a typical drive, Georgetown is about an hour and 50 minutes from our office in Bulverde, so we book visits ahead. For a survey, send the address, roof and wall photos, the building’s age if you know it, any drawings and a note on what you see inside: heat, drips, rust or daylight through the roof. We will tell you which service fits. For every service we offer around the city, visit our Austin commercial roofing page.

Frequently asked questions

Commercial Roofing in Georgetown, TX FAQs

Is an older metal plant off I-35 or SH 130 the kind of building you work on?

Yes. We work on industrial, logistics and manufacturing buildings along both highways, from older metal buildings that need a retrofit to newer ones whose large roofs and walls need to stay tight. Every job begins on the roof, with a survey of what is there now.

Our metal building is too hot in summer and drips condensation. Can a retrofit help?

Yes, when the cause is thin or compressed insulation under the roof, which is common in older metal buildings. A retrofit creates a new cavity above the old roof, and we fill it with insulation before the new metal roof goes on. The building stays in use throughout.

How does a retrofit add insulation without tearing off the old roof?

Sub-purlins sit on the old panels and are screwed down into the original purlins. They raise the new roof above the old one, and the gap between the two takes the new insulation. Until the new roof is complete, the old one carries on shedding rain.

Should our plant use insulated metal panels or R-panel with insulation?

If the space needs steady temperatures for a process, products or staff, insulated metal panels are the better choice because the insulation is continuous and the joints seal tightly. If the building is mostly unconditioned, R-panel with a separate insulation layer is the sensible option.

Is TPO a good fit for a low-slope warehouse roof in Georgetown?

Yes, when the roof is genuinely low-slope and carries rooftop equipment. White TPO reflects summer sun, and heat-welded seams make one continuous waterproof sheet. If the deck holds water after heavy rain, we also price a framed metal retrofit that adds slope.

How do Georgetown storms affect the roof design?

Heavy rain along the Balcones Escarpment, spring hail and strong gusts all shape the details. We size gutters and downspouts for downpours, set closer fastener spacing at edges and corners, and choose panel gauges and finishes with hail and summer sun in mind.

Can production continue while you work on the roof?

In most cases, yes. We agree crane lifts, deliveries, dock access and work over sensitive lines with your plant team in advance. With a retrofit, the old roof is never removed, so water stays out of the plant during the work.

I searched for metal roof retrofit contractors near me from a plant in Georgetown. Is it in your area?

Yes. Georgetown falls within the Austin-area work we take on, whether the building sits on I-35, SH 130 or SH 29. Share the location and some pictures of the roof, and we will come out to look at it.

Do you coat older metal roofs too?

Yes, when the steel is sound. A coating system with rust treatment, sealed or replaced fasteners and cut-edge treatment protects the roof and renews its finish. Where panels have rusted through or the insulation is wet, we will recommend a retrofit instead and explain the reason.

What should I send for a Georgetown survey?

The address, roof and wall photos, drawings if you have them, the approximate age of the building and what you notice inside, such as heat, drips or rust. To set up a visit, call (210) 775-0995 or pass everything to us on the contact page.
