Commercial Roofing in Houston, TX

What Is Commercial Roofing?

Commercial roofing involves the installation, repair, and replacement of roofing systems on non-residential buildings such as offices, warehouses, retail spaces, and apartment complexes. Unlike residential roofs, commercial roofs are typically flat or low-slope and require specialized materials, drainage planning, and load-bearing calculations. As a trusted Houston roofing contractor, Houston Roofing Team handles everything from single-ply membranes to metal standing seams.

Materials and Methods We Use

We offer several commercial roofing systems tailored to Houston’s climate:

• TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) – Energy-efficient, reflective membrane that reduces cooling costs. Ideal for Houston heat. Cost range: $5.50–$8.00 per sq. ft.
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) – Durable rubber membrane with excellent weather resistance. Cost range: $4.50–$7.00 per sq. ft.
• Modified Bitumen – Multi-ply asphalt system with added polymers for flexibility. Good for low-slope roofs. Cost range: $5.00–$8.50 per sq. ft.
• Metal Roofing (standing seam or corrugated) – Long-lasting, fire-resistant, and reflective. Cost range: $7.00–$12.00 per sq. ft.
• Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) – Seamless, insulating foam coated with protective topcoat. Cost range: $6.00–$9.00 per sq. ft.

All materials are sourced from top manufacturers and installed per manufacturer specifications to maintain warranties.

How Much Does Commercial Roofing Cost in Houston?

Total project costs depend on roof size, material choice, accessibility, and existing condition. For a typical 5,000 sq. ft. commercial roof in Houston, expect $25,000–$60,000. Larger or more complex roofs can exceed $100,000. We provide detailed, transparent estimates with no hidden fees.

Signs You Need Commercial Roofing Services

Additional signs include: membrane punctures, rusted flashing, mold or algae growth, sagging decking, and frequent patch repairs. If your roof is over 15 years old, consider a full replacement before leaks cause interior damage.

Houston Climate Considerations

Houston’s hot, humid summers and frequent thunderstorms demand roofing that resists UV degradation, thermal expansion, and wind uplift. Our systems are selected for high reflectivity (to lower cooling costs) and proper drainage to prevent ponding. We also reinforce flashings and edges to withstand hurricane-force gusts.
