Big roofs on the logistics side of Austin

Pflugerville’s commercial roofing work is mostly on warehouses, distribution buildings and multi-tenant industrial parks along SH 130 and SH 45, on the northeast side of Austin. Most of them sit under wide low-slope roofs over concrete tilt-wall or metal-framed walls, and on a worn roof the key question is whether to recover it or replace it.

Total Cladding and Roofing started out refurbishing commercial and industrial roofs in the UK, and more than 20 years of that work shapes how we judge an existing roof here. We test what is under the membrane before recommending anything, and the answer follows the evidence.

Pflugerville's logistics corridor

Pflugerville lies mostly in Travis County, with a small part in Williamson County, northeast of Austin along Pecan Street. SH 130 runs through the city and meets SH 45 there. The city’s industrial buildings are concentrated on or near those two toll roads, including the business parks at Pecan Street and SH 130 and along SH 45 near Heatherwilde Boulevard.

Most are newer buildings: concrete tilt-wall warehouses with dock doors, multi-tenant industrial buildings, and manufacturing and data center space. A typical tilt-wall warehouse carries a single-ply membrane over insulation on steel deck, with parapets on the concrete walls, and that roof is where a TPO replacement or recover decision begins.

Recover or replace: what decides it

A recover means a new TPO membrane over a recover board on top of the existing roof. It is the faster, less disruptive route, and it suits a roof that is dry, single-layer and firmly attached to a sound deck. We confirm all three with a moisture survey and test cores before we price it.

Replacement is the right call when cores find wet insulation across large areas, when the steel deck has rusted at the drains, or when the building already carries two roofs, which code does not allow us to cover again. Sealing wet insulation under a new membrane only moves the failure out of sight.

Drainage and docks on a big warehouse roof

A roof this size gathers a great deal of water in a Central Texas downpour, and on a near-flat roof a small sag holds water for days. During a replacement we check the taper, drain sizes and overflow scuppers and correct low areas while the roof is open. On a recover, we add tapered insulation and crickets where the survey shows ponding.

Docks keep working while we are on the roof. We set cranes and material lifts away from truck courts and dock doors, schedule deliveries outside your shipping peaks, and strip no more roof in a day than the crew can make watertight before leaving.

Systems for distribution buildings

Retrofit Over a Metal Warehouse

Metal roof retrofit: we build a new metal roof on sub-purlins above a failing metal or low-slope roof, adding slope and insulation without a tear-off, so stock and staff below stay covered.

TPO Replacement or Recover

TPO roofing: full replacement or recover on tilt-wall and metal warehouses, with heat-welded seams, flashings carried up and over the parapets, and new edge metal and coping where the old has worked loose.

R-Panel Re-Sheets and Extensions

R-panel roofs and walls: PBR panel re-sheets, extensions and wall cladding on metal-framed warehouses and industrial units, using certified-installer MBCI and Morin profiles or our own specification R-panel systems.

Insulated Panels Inside the Shell

Insulated metal panels: Kingspan or AWIP panels for cold rooms, conditioned storage and office fit-outs inside a warehouse shell, or for a new building that needs controlled temperatures from the start.

Sun, hail and membrane choice

A wide warehouse roof east of I-35 takes long summer days of direct sun with nothing to shade it. White TPO reflects much of that heat back, which matters most over conditioned or temperature-sensitive storage. We recommend 60 mil membrane on most distribution roofs and 80 mil where technicians are on the roof often.

Spring hail is the other test. A firm cover board under the membrane spreads an impact that would otherwise crush the insulation beneath it, and edge metal and perimeter fastening are set for the higher wind loads at corners and edges.

Metal buildings and coatings

Where a Pflugerville building is metal-framed with an exposed-fastener roof, the problems are different: loose and rusting fasteners, failing sealant at the laps and corrosion starting at cut edges. If the panels are still sound, a protective coating for metal roofs treats each of those points and renews the finish.

Our coating work uses Sika and American WeatherStar systems, both of which we hold installer certification for. When panels have rusted through, we recommend a retrofit or a re-sheet rather than a coating that would only cover the damage.

Multi-tenant buildings and property managers

Many of the industrial buildings off SH 130 house several tenants under one roof. We plan the work suite by suite with the property manager, give each tenant notice of the dates their space is affected, and keep roof access, deliveries and parking clear of each tenant’s docks and entrances.

Where a tenant improvement adds rooftop units, skylights or a conditioned office inside the shell, we coordinate the new curbs, roof openings and any insulated panel walls as one package, so the roof is not cut open again after we finish.

Reaching Pflugerville from Bulverde

A typical drive from our Bulverde office to Pflugerville takes about an hour and 35 minutes. We schedule moisture surveys, coring and site meetings in advance, and the same team covers commercial roofing in Round Rock just to the northwest and commercial roofing in Georgetown further north on SH 130.

Our page on TPO roofing in Austin goes deeper into membranes and details, and commercial roofing across the Austin area covers all five services. To begin, send the address, the roof size, any earlier core or survey reports and how many tenants occupy the building.

Frequently asked questions

Commercial Roofing in Pflugerville, TX FAQs

Do you replace TPO roofs on warehouses in Pflugerville?

Yes. We replace worn single-ply roofs on warehouses, distribution buildings and multi-tenant industrial buildings in Pflugerville with new TPO, and we install TPO recovers where the existing roof is dry and sound enough to stay.

How do you decide between a TPO recover and a tear-off?

A moisture survey and test cores decide it. A dry, single-layer roof on a sound deck can take a recover. Widespread wet insulation, a rusted deck or two existing roofs mean tearing off to the deck before the new roof goes on.

Is there a commercial roofer near me who covers Pflugerville warehouses?

We do. Our Bulverde team works in Pflugerville, from the business parks along SH 130 to the buildings off SH 45. Call (210) 775-0995 and give us the building address to set up a survey.

Can our docks keep running during the work?

Yes. We position cranes and lifts away from truck courts, schedule material deliveries around your shipping times and open only the roof area we can seal by the end of the day. Dock doors and trailers below stay in use.

Do you handle the parapets on a tilt-wall warehouse?

Yes. The TPO is flashed up the inside of each parapet and secured under new coping, and the scuppers through the parapet are flashed into the same membrane. Parapets and scuppers are common entry points for water on tilt-wall buildings.

What membrane thickness suits a Pflugerville distribution roof?

On most distribution roofs we recommend 60 mil. Where technicians cross the roof often to service units, 80 mil adds thickness over the reinforcement and copes better with foot traffic, dropped tools and sun. Walkway pads along the main routes help either way.

Can you work in a multi-tenant industrial park?

Yes. We plan the roof suite by suite with the property manager, give tenants notice of the dates their space is affected and keep each tenant's entrances and docks clear. Each section is closed in before we move to the next.

Can a metal warehouse roof in Pflugerville be retrofitted instead of replaced?

Usually, if the frame is sound. The new roof rides on sub-purlins anchored through the old sheets into the frame, with insulation laid in between. Because nothing is torn off, the building keeps its cover from start to finish.

Do you also cover Round Rock, Georgetown and the SH 45 corridor?

Yes. Round Rock lies just northwest of Pflugerville and Georgetown further north, and we work in both, as well as along SH 45 and SH 130. The same team, survey process and five services apply in each.
