Restaurant roofs in Plano live downstream of grease exhaust, the exposure that quietly destroys standard membranes around every kitchen vent.
Restaurant roofing starts at the grease stack. PVC membranes resist the oils that degrade TPO and EPDM, containment details around exhaust vents extend system life, and scheduling respects service hours. Because health inspections are always in view, the work stays clean and contained from start to finish.
Plano restaurant owners get a free, no-obligation assessment, a photo-documented inspection, and a written estimate. Insurance work follows Texas rules to the letter: deductibles are never waived, and we are not a public adjuster.
Hail, Grease, and Plano Restaurant Roofs
Plano restaurants deal with two pressures on the roof at once. Grease exhaust works on the membrane every day, and hail arrives on a regular schedule: 43 days with stones an inch or larger since 2006 within 8 miles of the city, 18 of them golf-ball size or more, topped by 4.5-inch hail on March 24, 2019. A membrane already worn by kitchen oils has less left to give under impact, so after a storm we check the area around the exhaust fan and vent curbs first.
Hail of that class has fallen here in 15 of the last 20 years, which makes regular roof checks part of running a kitchen in this city. Our Collin County crews also serve restaurants in Addison and Allen.

Can you work around our service hours?
Yes. Mornings before prep, closed days, and sectioned phasing keep kitchens serving while the roof gets right.
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.
