What we look for on a flat or low slope roof
Ponding water, cracked seams on a membrane system, and blistering from years of sun exposure are the three problems we see most on Plano's office and retail buildings. A roof over twenty years old can be holding water in low spots without any visible leak inside, and that standing water shortens the membrane's life every week it sits there unresolved.
We inspect the drains and scuppers as closely as the membrane itself, since a roof that drains slowly ages faster no matter how good the material sitting on top of it happens to be.
Healthcare and clinic buildings
Medical and clinic buildings carry a different set of demands, because construction work cannot interrupt patient care. We schedule around your operating hours, section off work areas, and keep the noisiest work for times when the building is emptiest. Facility managers get a plan in writing before a single panel comes off the roof.
Working with property managers
Commercial work usually means working with a property manager or a facilities team rather than a single homeowner, so we put the scope, the schedule and the material specifications in writing up front. That way everyone with a stake in the building, from ownership down to the tenants, is looking at the same plan.
We keep the work area contained, protect walkways and parking with covered paths where needed, and clean the site at the end of each day so the building stays operational throughout the project.
New roofs and remodels on commercial buildings
Beyond roofing, we handle the general construction side of a commercial project too, from interior build outs to structural changes tied to a roof replacement. Keeping both under one crew means the sequencing stays right and nobody is waiting on a second contractor to finish before the roof can go on above them.
A tenant build out inside a leased space usually runs on a tighter deadline than a residential remodel, since rent is often tied to an occupancy date. We plan the roofing and construction schedule around that date from the first meeting rather than treating it as a soft target.
Warranty and long term maintenance
A commercial membrane roof holds up best with a regular maintenance schedule rather than a one time installation and years of silence afterward. We offer a yearly check on drains, seams and flashing for buildings we have worked on, catching small separations before they become a leak that shuts down a section of the building during business hours.
