Warehouses run big, low-slope roofs where small leaks find expensive inventory. Arlington sits in one of the country's densest logistics corridors, and warehouse roofs here earn their keep against hail and heat.
Warehouse roofs in Arlington are large-field membrane jobs, and that scale shapes every decision. Water has to drain across long runs, penetrations around dock equipment need their own details, and the work is phased so the operation below never stops. Preventive maintenance matters most at this size, because small membrane issues grow across big fields.
Our inspections come with photos and a written estimate at no charge. Deductibles are never waived, as Texas law requires, and Cedar Crest works as your contractor, not as a public adjuster.
Arlington Warehouse Roofs and the Local Hail Record
A wide membrane field is a big target. Since 2006, the area within 9 miles of Arlington has logged 41 days of hail an inch or larger, and 15 of the last 20 years included at least one of them. The largest stone measured 5.0 inches on June 12, 2023. After a storm, we walk the full field and photograph impact points, seams, and drains, so a Tarrant County claim rests on evidence instead of guesswork. On a building this size, a missed bruise in the membrane can become a slow leak over racked inventory months later. Operators with sites in Grand Prairie or Kennedale get the same crews and the same style of report.

Common questions: warehouse roofing in Arlington
Can you reroof our Arlington 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.
Our Arlington building's roof has a long repair history. Where do we start?
With the documented assessment and moisture survey. Buildings with layered repair history need the evidence layer most, because what's wet underneath decides whether the next dollar goes to repair, restoration, or replacement.
How often does hail hit Arlington?
