Commercial Roofing in Schertz, TX

Roofs for distribution buildings that keep the trucks moving

Roofing Contractors Association of Texas member

Distribution and logistics roofing

Big roofs over buildings that never stop

We provide commercial roofing in Schertz for the distribution, logistics and industrial buildings along I-35 and I-10 on the northeast side of San Antonio. These buildings tend to have wide low-slope roofs and dock schedules that never pause, so every TPO recover, metal roof retrofit and recladding job we plan here starts with the trucks.

Tom Swainson, who leads Total Cladding and Roofing, has more than 20 years behind him as a commercial roofer. We treat roof, insulation, walls and drainage as one system, and owners and facility managers get a plain answer on what their building needs and why.

Where Schertz's industrial buildings sit

Schertz stretches from Comal County in the north, through Guadalupe County, into Bexar County in the south. I-35 crosses the northern part of the city, and FM 3009 meets it at exit 175 on its way north from FM 78. Tilt-wall industrial buildings off Tri-County Parkway use that interchange to reach the interstate.

Where the city reaches I-10 in the south, newer cross-dock and rear-load distribution buildings carry long rows of dock-high doors. Their roofs are broad, low-slope and plain in plan. On a roof that size, a detail that is wrong at one drain is wrong at every drain, so we settle the edge, drain and penetration details before the first sheet goes down.

Keeping the dock doors open

A Schertz distribution building earns its keep at the dock, so our roof plan starts there. We place cranes and material drops away from truck courts and trailer parking, fence the laydown area, and agree with your site team which bays can have crews overhead on which days.

Most of the work happens on top of the building. A recover or retrofit keeps the existing roof in place as the weather cover, so racking, conveyors and people below stay dry and working. Where a section must be opened, we size it to what the crew can close before the shift ends.

Recover or tear off a warehouse roof

On a big low-slope roof, the deciding question is what sits under the membrane. We run a moisture survey across the whole roof, cut cores where readings jump, and mark wet zones on a roof plan. Dry insulation over a sound deck points to a TPO recover, with a cover board and new heat-welded membrane laid over the existing roof.

Wet insulation across large areas, a rusting deck or a roof that already carries a second layer calls for tear-off and replacement. When the result is close, the age of the roof and how long you plan to hold the building usually settle it. Our page on TPO roofing in San Antonio explains membrane choices for the wider metro.

Four roof and wall systems for Schertz

Metal Retrofit on Sub-Purlins

Our metal roof retrofit service sets a new metal roof on sub-purlins over a failing roof, adds insulation in the space between, and leaves the old roof in place while the warehouse below keeps shipping.

TPO Recover and Replacement

Commercial TPO roofing for big low-slope warehouse roofs: a recover over a dry existing roof, or tear-off and replacement where the survey finds wet insulation, finished in a white heat-welded membrane that reflects summer sun.

R-Panel for Metal Warehouses

R-panel roofs and walls for metal warehouses, shops and dock-side buildings, using our own specification R-panel systems or MBCI and Morin panels, both brands we are certified to install.

Insulated Panels for Controlled Space

Insulated metal panels from Kingspan and AWIP for cold rooms, conditioned warehouse space and new wall lines, installed by a certified installer of both brands with sealed joints around every dock opening.

Retrofit for older metal roofs

Where a Schertz warehouse has an older through-fastened metal roof, a retrofit usually beats a membrane. We fasten notched sub-purlins through the old panels into the purlins, fill the cavity with new insulation, and install a new metal roof above. Every load runs into the original structure, and nothing fastens to the old sheets.

Before we design the framing, we check the purlins, their connections and the existing panel profile, and any added load on the frame needs an engineer’s check. If the purlins are rusted through, we say so and recommend replacement.

Coatings for sound metal and dock canopies

Metal roofs, wall panels and dock canopies that are structurally sound often need a coating rather than replacement. Our protective coatings service cleans the steel, treats rust at laps, fasteners and cut edges, and applies a restoration system from American WeatherStar or Sika, two brands we are certified to install. We do not coat over panels that have rusted through.

Sun, hail and runoff on wide roofs

Through a Schertz summer, a dark or weathered roof passes heat straight into the warehouse below. A white TPO membrane or a reflective coating turns much of that sun away, which eases the load on rooftop units and keeps the space under the deck more workable.

Spring hail is a regular risk in Schertz, and the storms that bring it can drop rain faster than a flat roof sheds it. We lay a high-density cover board under TPO to take impact, check that drains, scuppers and overflows can carry a downpour, and add tapered crickets where water ponds.

From our Bulverde office to Schertz

Schertz is a typical 30-minute drive from our Bulverde office, and FM 3009 runs from the city north toward Bulverde. Surveys, progress meetings and handovers fit easily around a shipping schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Commercial Roofing in Schertz, TX FAQs

Do you provide commercial roofing in Schertz?

Yes, we work on distribution centers, warehouses, industrial buildings, retail and offices in Schertz, from the I-35 corridor in the north of the city to the I-10 edge in the south. That covers TPO recover and replacement, metal roof retrofits, R-panel roofs and walls, insulated metal panels and protective coatings for metal.

How do you reach Schertz from your Bulverde office?

We are based at 29619 Winter Copper, Bulverde, TX 78163, and FM 3009 runs north from Schertz toward Bulverde, which keeps survey visits and site meetings easy to arrange. To book a visit, phone (210) 775-0995 or write to info@totalcladdingandroofing.com with the building address.

Can you reroof a distribution building without closing dock doors?

Most distribution buildings stay fully open, because a TPO recover or metal retrofit keeps the existing roof in place and the floor below stays in use. Crane spots, laydown and work zones are agreed with your site team in advance, and the roof is phased bay by bay so trucks keep their access to the doors.

Should our Schertz warehouse roof be recovered or replaced?

The moisture survey decides it. Dry insulation and a sound deck support a TPO recover. Wet insulation over large areas, a corroded deck or an existing second roof layer mean tear-off. We show you the survey results and recommend one route.

Do you cover the industrial buildings along FM 3009 and Tri-County Parkway?

Yes, the industrial area around the FM 3009 interchange with I-35 and off Tri-County Parkway is well within reach of our Bulverde office, as are the newer distribution buildings along I-10 on the south side of Schertz.

I'm searching for TPO roofing contractors near me in Schertz. Do you install TPO?

We install new TPO roofs, TPO recover and TPO replacement on warehouses, distribution centers, retail and office buildings in Schertz. Seams are heat-welded, and we choose 60 or 80 mil membrane to suit rooftop traffic and equipment.

What does a metal roof retrofit add to an older Schertz warehouse?

A new metal roof on sub-purlins over the old one, a deeper insulation layer in the space between, and new trim, gutters and penetration flashings. The old roof stays as the weather cover during the work, so the warehouse keeps operating underneath.

Which insulated panels do you install for temperature-controlled space?

We install Kingspan and AWIP insulated metal panels as a certified installer of both brands. Their rigid insulating cores and sealed joints suit cold rooms, conditioned warehouse space and dock walls where a building has to hold a set temperature.

How do you protect a Schertz roof against hail?

On TPO roofs we lay a high-density cover board under the membrane so hail strikes a firm surface. On metal roofs we choose panel gauge and profile with impact in mind. On both, we check the drainage so storm rain has a clear path off the roof.

What information helps you price a Schertz warehouse roof?

Send the building address, approximate roof and wall areas, the current roof type, any drawings or photos, and your dock hours or any areas we must keep clear. From there we survey the roof and put our recommendation in a written scope.
