Roofing work planned around your industrial site

We install metal roof retrofits, TPO roofs, R-panel roofs and walls, insulated metal panels and protective coatings on industrial buildings in San Antonio and Austin. That includes older metal industrial buildings along I-35, I-10 and Loop 410, units off Loop 1604, and manufacturing and distribution buildings on the SH 130 corridor. Our work starts with the roof’s condition and the activity beneath it, whether the property is a factory, processing building, engineering workshop or industrial unit.

A roof refurbishment needs to protect equipment and keep essential access available wherever the work allows. We discuss those priorities with your site team before deciding how the project can be delivered.

Reading what a leaking industrial roof is telling you

Roof-mounted equipment, exhausts, service penetrations and connections between different roof areas can make the source of a leak difficult to locate. Water may travel before it appears inside, so the wet area below is a starting point for investigation.

We review the roof material, earlier patching and the surrounding details. When leaks have spread across laps, fasteners and seams, patching has run its course, and the question becomes which project fits: new metal over the old roof on sub-purlins, TPO on the low-slope sections, or a protective coating where the sheets are still solid.

Coating, retrofit or replacement?

A coating suits sound metal whose finish, fasteners and cut edges are failing. A retrofit suits a metal or low-slope roof that leaks widely but sits on sound structure, because the new roof goes on over it with no tear-off. Replacement makes sense when the deck or supports are damaged or wet layers have to come off.

We explain what each option would retain, remove and improve. The decision should reflect the building’s condition and your plans for the property, including any planned changes to equipment or use.

Planning around an operating site

Before opening a roof, we discuss the areas below with the people responsible for them. Production equipment, sensitive stock and occupied workspaces may require separate protection or a temporary change to operations.

Access for lifting and deliveries also needs to fit the site. We agree the working areas and discuss any shutdown needs early, so restrictions are part of the plan rather than a surprise when work begins.

Industrial roofing services

The proposed work can cover one roof area or a coordinated refurbishment across the building.

Metal roof retrofit

Install a new metal roof on sub-purlins over the old one, with an insulation upgrade and no tear-off above production. See our metal roof retrofit service.

TPO roofing

Install, replace or recover low-slope industrial roofs in TPO, with heat-welded seams detailed around curbs, stacks and pipe supports.

R-panel and insulated metal panels

Replace worn R-panel roofs and walls, or install Kingspan or AWIP insulated metal panels where the building needs more insulation. See R-panel roofing and cladding and insulated metal panels.

Protective coatings

Clean, treat and coat sound metal roofs and cladding where rust, chalking and cut-edge corrosion are the problem, using a protective coating system chosen for the heat and fumes the building gives off.

Metal and low-slope industrial roofs

Industrial buildings can have several roof types, including exposed-fastener metal, standing seam and low-slope membrane systems. The new roof and its connection details need to suit each one, and the transitions between them need the most care.

Where a new roof is proposed, we consider how it connects to the existing walls, drainage and rooftop equipment. An overlay needs a suitable supporting structure and attachment design; it is not simply another layer added over a failing roof.

Equipment, drainage and roof openings

Curbs around equipment, rooflights and service penetrations need as much attention as the main roof surface. Changes in roof height or insulation can also affect these connections during replacement.

We identify which roof details are included in the work and which need coordination with other trades. Mechanical and process equipment remains the responsibility of the appropriate specialist, with roofing work planned around those interfaces.

Working around production and storage

We agree which roof areas can be worked on while the site is operating and which need a shutdown. Where stock or equipment sits directly below an opening, we plan the protection or temporary move before starting that area.

Tell us about heat, moisture or other operating conditions that could affect the roof. Those details help determine the investigations, materials and protection arrangements the project needs.

Planning the next stage of the building’s life

If equipment changes, a lease event or a wider refurbishment is approaching, it helps to consider the roof at the same time. Repeated patching is rarely the best use of a budget when the building already needs a larger upgrade.

We can discuss the immediate problem alongside the longer-term work, keeping the proposed roof areas, limitations and options clear enough for your team to compare.

Frequently asked questions

Industrial Roofing Services In San Antonio And Austin FAQs

Which industrial buildings do you work on?

Factories, processing buildings, engineering workshops and industrial units across the San Antonio and Austin areas, from older metal buildings near Seguin to newer plants around Round Rock. The roof and the operation below guide the work plan.

Our industrial roof leaks around rooftop equipment. What are the options?

Water getting in at curbs, stacks and pipe supports is often the first sign that the roof around them is worn out. We look at the whole roof, then recommend new metal over the old roof on sub-purlins, a TPO recover on low-slope areas, or a coating if the sheets are still sound. Equipment work stays with the relevant specialist.

Can production continue during a roof project?

Often some work can be phased around operations. Roof openings or work above sensitive equipment may require temporary restrictions or a planned shutdown.

Do you work on both metal and low-slope industrial roofs?

Yes. Metal roofs get a retrofit, new R-panels or a protective coating, depending on their condition. Low-slope roofs get TPO, either as a recover over the existing roof or as a full replacement.

When is a protective coating worth considering on an industrial roof?

When the panels are still sound and the problem is chalking, rust at fasteners and laps, or cut-edge corrosion. We choose a coating that tolerates the heat, steam or fumes the process gives off. Holed sheets or wet insulation rule a coating out.

Can a new roof be installed over the existing roof?

Yes, where the structure can carry it. A metal roof retrofit fixes new sub-purlins through the old roof into the existing purlins and carries a new metal roof above, so the plant below stays covered throughout. We compare that option with removal and replacement.

Can insulation be upgraded at the same time?

Yes. A retrofit creates a cavity between the old and new roofs that takes new insulation, and insulated metal panels bring insulation and a finished inner face in one product. Either way, we detail how the new roof meets equipment, openings and drainage.

What happens if hidden damage is found when the roof is opened?

We explain the finding and any effect on the work, price or schedule. Changes to the agreed work are discussed before the affected area proceeds.

Can roof work be split into phases?

Yes, where the roof connections and protection arrangements allow it. Phasing can help coordinate work with production areas, access restrictions or a planned shutdown.

What helps you prepare for a site discussion?

The address, roof concern and any drawings or photographs are a useful start. Include operating hours, access restrictions and the areas most sensitive to disruption.
