Warehouses run big, low-slope roofs where small leaks find expensive inventory. Allen sits in one of the country's densest logistics corridors, and warehouse roofs here earn their keep against hail and heat.
Large-field membrane roofing is its own discipline. It depends on drainage across long runs, penetration management around dock equipment, and phased work that never stops the operation underneath. Preventive maintenance programs matter most at warehouse scale, because small membrane issues grow across big fields.
Warehouse owners receive a free written estimate and an inspection documented in photos. We never waive deductibles, as Texas law requires, and Cedar Crest does not serve as a public adjuster.
Large Membrane Fields and the Allen Hail Record
A big roof is a big target. Within 6 miles of Allen, hail an inch or larger has fallen on 27 days since 2006, and 12 of those storms brought golf-ball size stones or bigger. On a warehouse field, a scattering of small punctures can spread water along long drainage runs before anyone inside notices, which is why a post-storm walk with photo documentation belongs in any maintenance program. Hail showed up in 13 of the last twenty years, and on March 24, 2019 it reached 4.5 inches. Each phase is planned around dock traffic, so trucks keep moving while sections of the field are repaired. Distribution and storage operators in Collin County get phased repair plans that keep docks running, and our crews also cover warehouses in Fairview and Lucas.

Common questions: warehouse roofing in Allen
Can you reroof our Allen 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 the new commercial construction around Allen?
Yes. New retail, flex, and light industrial in the growth corridor, both as new-construction roofing with GCs and as the maintenance and warranty partner once buildings occupy.
