Industrial roofs in Dallas carry process heat, exhaust chemistry, and equipment loads that ordinary commercial specs never see.
Manufacturing plants in Dallas ask more of a roof than most buildings. Membrane chemistry has to match what the process throws at it, penetrations around process equipment need careful management, and work sequencing must respect production schedules. Downtime costs more than roofing, so planning is the product.
Plant managers get a no-cost, no-obligation assessment, photo records of every finding, and a written estimate. Texas insurance rules are followed exactly: we never waive a deductible, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Hail Planning for Dallas Production Floors
A production floor under a damaged roof is a production floor at risk, and hail is the main threat here. Since 2006, 77 days have brought hail of one inch or larger within 13 miles of Dallas, and 25 of them produced golf-ball-size stones or bigger. The record in that span is 4.25 inches on May 24, 2011. We factor that exposure into membrane choice and into how curbs and penetrations around rooftop equipment are detailed, so a storm does not turn into an unplanned shutdown.
The city’s housing stock has a median build year of 1981, a sign that much of Dallas was built out decades ago, so we assume nothing about an older roof until it has been opened and documented. Industrial clients across Dallas County reach the same crews, including sites in Cockrell Hill and Balch Springs.

Hail near Dallas
Hail is a regular event around Dallas. NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 77 separate days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 13 miles of the city, and on 25 of those days the stones reached golf ball size or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 20 of the last 20 years. The largest stones on record nearby measured 4.25 inches (grapefruit size) on May 24, 2011. The most recent report: 1.5-inch hail on June 2, 2026.
May 24, 2011: 4.25-inch hail (grapefruit size)
April 25, 2026: 3-inch hail (teacup size)
June 6, 2018: 3-inch hail (teacup size)
June 13, 2012: 3-inch hail (teacup size)
April 3, 2012: 2.75-inch hail (baseball size)
How old Dallas homes are
The median home in Dallas was built in 1981, and 48% of the city's 590,237 housing units predate 1980. Many of these houses are likely on their second roof or nearing the point where they need one.

Common questions: industrial / manufacturing roofing in Dallas
Can roof work happen without stopping our Dallas production line?
Usually. Sectioned phasing, off-shift work windows, and protection planning around sensitive equipment are standard industrial practice.
What membrane handles chemical exhaust?
Depends on the chemistry. PVC resists many oils and chemicals that degrade TPO; process specifics drive the spec, which is what the assessment documents.
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.
