We install TPO roofs, metal retrofit roofs and protective coatings on big box stores, retail centers and shopping properties in San Antonio and Austin. We plan the work around customers, tenants and deliveries, and choose the roof that ends the leaks putting stock and trading areas at risk.
Related Services
A leaking roof can affect a sales area, stockroom or entrance. Tell us where water appears and when it happens. We inspect the roof and nearby drainage or equipment connections to identify the likely cause.
One roof can cover several units with different opening hours and site contacts. We agree who needs updates and which areas are affected, including access through shared service yards and loading areas.
Big box roofs are mostly wide low-slope areas. When the insulation is dry and the deck sound, a TPO recover over the existing roof keeps tear-off noise and debris away from the sales floor; wet insulation means the old layers come off for a full TPO replacement. Metal-roofed stores with sound structure suit a retrofit roof over the old panels.
New TPO, replacement and recover on big box and strip center roofs, with a white surface that reflects heat away from a large air-conditioned sales floor.
A new metal roof on sub-purlins over an aging metal store roof, phased around trading hours.
Clean, treat and coat sound metal roofs and canopies where rust and cut-edge corrosion are spreading.
R-panel for stockrooms and service buildings, and insulated metal panels where a store adds cold rooms or conditioned storage. See R-panel roofing and insulated metal panels.
Address drainage, skylights and equipment connections as part of the project.
Work near entrances, parking or pedestrian routes needs planned separation. We discuss delivery and lifting locations with the property team before starting, including any temporary restrictions.
Retail roofs often carry HVAC and kitchen equipment. We coordinate roof access and connections with the relevant contractors, and consider nearby air intakes when planning preparation and coating work.
A vacant unit or refurbishment period can be a useful time for larger roof work. We can review the roof alongside planned equipment and cladding changes before the new occupation begins.
Talk to our team
Tell us about the roof issue and the stores or tenants affected. For local detail on low-slope store roofs, see TPO roofing in San Antonio and TPO roofing in Austin. Retail centers out toward New Braunfels fall within our San Antonio commercial roofing area, and those toward Kyle and San Marcos within our Austin commercial roofing area.
Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. We phase the roof around trading hours, keep work away from entrances while customers are arriving, and agree crane and delivery times with the store manager. Areas above the sales floor are protected before any roof opening is made.
Often. When the existing roof is a single layer over dry insulation and the deck is sound, a TPO recover avoids tear-off debris and noise above the sales floor. Wet insulation or several old layers mean a full TPO replacement instead.
A white membrane reflects much of the sunlight that a dark roof would absorb, so less heat passes into the store and the air-conditioning has less to remove. On a large single-story building, the roof is the biggest surface facing the sun.
We fence off crane and loading areas, route materials away from customer entrances and walkways, and schedule lifts for quiet trading periods or before opening. The property team sees the plan before work starts.
Usually the owner or property manager, but leases can give tenants a say over their part of the roof or their trading hours. We agree one approval route at the start and keep each affected tenant informed through the property manager.
Yes. We agree delivery windows with the store and service yard, keep our own deliveries and crane lifts outside them, and keep loading docks and service doors clear.
We coordinate with the mechanical and kitchen equipment contractors, raise or reflash curbs as part of the new roof, and plan coating or adhesive work away from air intakes and exhaust outlets. The units stay serviceable throughout.
Rarely. If the structure is sound, a metal roof retrofit fixes new sub-purlins over the old roof and carries a new metal roof above it, so the store stays covered and trading below. Sound metal with surface rust may only need a protective coating.
Yes. With no customers or stock below, crews can open larger areas and finish sooner, and any new equipment, skylights or insulation the next tenant needs can be built into the roof at the same time.
Yes. New Braunfels falls within our San Antonio area and Kyle within our Austin area, both on the I-35 corridor. Send the center's address, the affected units and their trading hours to start.
Our business grew through roof and cladding refurbishment in the UK. That experience shapes the work we now offer from our Texas office.
We investigate the roof problem and explain what can be repaired, restored or replaced, so you can decide how to invest in the building.
We can coordinate roof, insulation, wall panel and drainage work, including the connections where separate repairs can leave problems behind.
We agree access, work areas and protection with your site team, including any restrictions needed while the roof is opened.
