Austin Commercial Roofing Services
A failing commercial roof is not just an aesthetic problem. It interrupts business, damages inventory, runs up utility bills, and quietly stresses everything underneath it. We install, repair, and maintain commercial roof systems for restaurants, retail, offices, warehouses, and light industrial buildings across Austin and the surrounding Central Austin, North Austin, South Austin area.
Most jobs start with a real assessment, not a glance from a parking lot. We walk the entire roof, document every penetration, check for ponding water, and tell you whether you are looking at a repair, a recover, or a full replacement. Then we build the scope around your operations, not ours.
If the roof is acting up, call (512) 270-8084 and we will get out for a no-pressure quote.
Signs your commercial roof needs attention
Catching these early keeps a roof problem from turning into a tenant problem.
Ponding water that has not drained 48 hours after the rain stopped
Visible blisters, bubbles, or splits in the membrane
Seams that are pulling apart or lifting at the edges
Daylight at penetrations, parapet walls, or roof drains
Utility bills that have been climbing year over year
Active or recurring leaks above tenant spaces or stock
A membrane that is 15 to 20 years old and showing its age
How we run a commercial project
Walk the roof
We assess the membrane, every penetration, seams, flashing, drains, and underlying decking. You get a written condition report, not a guess.
Scope and quote
We put together an itemized scope of work and a flat quote. For larger jobs we lay out repair, recover, and full replacement options side by side so you can weigh the trade-offs.
Schedule around your operations
Weekends, off-hours, phased section work. Restaurants stay open, warehouses keep shipping, offices do not close. We plan the install around your schedule.
Install
Whichever system you chose, the install is run by our crews, not subcontractors. We pull every required permit and meet local code.
Maintenance plan
Final walkthrough with the property owner or facilities manager, plus a maintenance plan if you want it. Annual or semi-annual visits catch problems before they turn into leaks.
Systems we install
Each commercial system trades off cost, longevity, and energy performance. The right one depends on the building, the usage, and the budget. We help you weigh those before you sign.
What commercial roofing costs
Commercial pricing depends on system type, square footage, deck condition, insulation, the number of penetrations, and any code-required upgrades. Most Austin commercial projects fall between $4 and $12 per square foot installed, with metal and premium systems on the higher end.
Quotes are itemized so you can see exactly where the money is going. For owners or property managers we can also structure a multi-year maintenance plan that levels the cost out year to year and dramatically extends the life of the membrane.
