Warehouses run big, low-slope roofs where small leaks find expensive inventory. Dallas sits in one of the country's densest logistics corridors, and warehouse roofs here earn their keep against hail and heat.
Warehouse roofing in Dallas is large-field membrane work, a discipline of its own. Drainage has to function across long runs, penetrations around dock equipment need attention, and phased work must never stop the operation beneath. Preventive maintenance programs matter most at this scale, because small membrane issues grow across big fields.
We start with a free, no-obligation assessment, record conditions in photos, and provide a written estimate. Deductibles are never waived under Texas law, and Cedar Crest does not work as a public adjuster.
Large Dallas Roof Fields and Repeated Hail
On a big warehouse field, one hailstorm can leave damage scattered across a wide area. Within 13 miles of Dallas, hail one inch or larger has struck on 77 days since 2006, with 25 days of golf-ball-size hail or bigger and a top size of 4.25 inches on May 24, 2011. Hail reached that one-inch threshold in 20 of the last 20 years, which is why a scheduled maintenance program with photo documentation after each storm pays off at warehouse scale.
Distribution buildings across Dallas County reach the same crews, which also cover Balch Springs and University Park. A field that is walked and photographed on a schedule reveals small membrane issues while they are still small, before they spread.

Common questions: warehouse roofing in Dallas
Can you reroof our Dallas warehouse without stopping operations?
Yes. Phasing by roof section with staged materials and coordinated access is standard practice for occupied logistics buildings.
What system fits a warehouse best?
Usually TPO or metal depending on slope and budget horizon, with a maintenance program regardless, because scale multiplies both small problems and their repair bills.
Do you handle buildings in central Dallas with access constraints?
Yes. Staging, crane windows, and access logistics are part of urban commercial work, and the phasing plan accounts for them explicitly rather than discovering them on day one.
How often does hail hit Dallas?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 77 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 13 miles of Dallas, including 25 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 20 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 1.5-inch hail on June 2, 2026.
How old are most homes in Dallas?
The median home in Dallas was built in 1981, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 48% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 14% were built in 2010 or later. Most homes here are well past the life of their original roof.
