Warehouses run big, low-slope roofs where small leaks find expensive inventory. Garland sits in one of the country's densest logistics corridors, and warehouse roofs here earn their keep against hail and heat.
Warehouse roofing in Garland is large-field membrane work: drainage across long runs, penetration management around dock equipment, and phased installation that never stops the operation beneath. Preventive maintenance matters most at this scale, because small membrane issues grow across big fields. We begin with a free, no-obligation assessment documented with photos and a written estimate. Texas law prohibits waiving deductibles and we follow it, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Big Roof Fields and Garland’s Hail Frequency
A large roof field catches every hailstone that falls on it, and the Garland area sees plenty. Hail an inch or larger has hit within 7 miles of the city in 16 of the last 20 years, totaling 37 days since 2006, including 12 golf-ball-plus days and a 2.5-inch maximum on June 2, 2017. On a warehouse, scattered impact points across a wide membrane are easy to miss from the ground, so a documented walk of the whole field after storms is the backbone of our maintenance programs. Catching a bruised seam in year one costs far less disruption than chasing a leak across a loaded floor later. Garland is in Dallas County, with a median housing year of 1978, and the same crews serve distribution buildings in Richardson and Sachse.

Common questions: warehouse roofing in Garland
Can you reroof our Garland 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 Garland 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 Garland?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 37 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 7 miles of Garland, including 12 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 16 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 2-inch hail on April 27, 2026.
