Warehouses run big, low-slope roofs where small leaks find expensive inventory. Plano sits in one of the country's densest logistics corridors, and warehouse roofs here earn their keep against hail and heat.
Large-field membrane work is its own discipline. It covers drainage across long runs, penetration management around dock equipment, and phased work that keeps the operation below running. Preventive maintenance programs matter most at warehouse scale, because small membrane issues grow quickly across a big field.
Warehouse assessments are free with no obligation, inspections are documented with photos, and estimates are written. We follow Texas insurance rules to the letter, never waive deductibles, and do not act as a public adjuster.
Large-Field Warehouse Roofs in Hail-Prone Plano
A big warehouse roof gives hail a big target, and Plano sees a lot of it. Within 8 miles of the city, 43 days since 2006 have produced hail an inch or larger, 18 of those reached golf-ball size or bigger, and the largest stone measured 4.5 inches on March 24, 2019. Across a large membrane field, impact damage rarely stays in one spot, and a small puncture near a drain can spread water under the membrane well beyond where it entered.
Hail at that level has hit in 15 of the last 20 years, which is why a preventive program with documented post-storm checks pays off at this scale. Our Collin County crews also cover warehouse buildings in Richardson and Addison.

Common questions: warehouse roofing in Plano
Can you reroof our Plano 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 serve rural commercial properties around Plano?
Yes. Ag-adjacent buildings, small-town main-street commercial, and the metal-building stock that dominates the ring counties. Same documentation discipline, routed on scheduled windows.
