Warehouses run big, low-slope roofs where small leaks find expensive inventory. Richardson sits in one of the country's densest logistics corridors, and warehouse roofs here earn their keep against hail and heat.
Warehouse roofing in Richardson is large-field membrane work, and that is its own discipline. Drainage has to function across long runs, penetrations around dock equipment need management, and phased work keeps the operation beneath running. Preventive maintenance programs matter most at warehouse scale because small membrane issues grow across big fields.
Free assessments come documented with photos, and estimates are written. Deductibles are never waived under Texas law, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Richardson Warehouse Fields and Hail Frequency
The bigger the field, the more hail it catches. Richardson has recorded 36 days since 2006 with hail an inch or larger within 6 miles, including 12 golf-ball-size days, and a peak stone of 3.0 inches on April 20, 2023. With qualifying hail in 14 of the last 20 years, a preventive program that walks the whole field after each storm catches small punctures before ponding water spreads them.
Hail frequency also shapes membrane selection and how often a maintenance crew should be on the roof, and we put those recommendations in writing. Richardson sits in Dallas County, where 35 percent of local housing was built between 1980 and 2009. Our crews also cover warehouses in Garland and Plano, so a distribution operator with buildings in several cities can keep a single inspection standard.

Common questions: warehouse roofing in Richardson
Can you reroof our Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson?
