Commercial Roofing in Austin and Round Rock

Commercial Roofing Contractor for Austin, Round Rock and Central Texas

A commercial roof rarely fails all at once. It fails at a seam, a drain or a rooftop unit curb, and the first sign is a stained ceiling tile over a tenant's desk or a wet pallet in a warehouse. KangaRoof has roofed Central Texas since 1992, and our commercial crews handle flat and low-slope roofing, commercial roof repair, and full replacement for buildings from Round Rock and Georgetown down the IH-35 corridor through Austin into Hays County. Here is who we work with, what we install, and how we handle leaks, inspections and pricing.

Who we serve

Most of our commercial customers are owners and managers without a facilities department. They need one contractor who shows up, tells the truth about the roof, and puts a firm number on the work:

• Small commercial and owner-occupied buildings: shops, clinics, auto service, restaurants and the flat-roof buildings along every major road in Round Rock and Austin.
• Retail centers: multi-tenant properties where one leak can close a tenant for a day and put the owner on the hook for the damage.
• Office buildings: low-slope roofs crowded with HVAC units, conduit and vents, where most office leaks start.
• Warehouses and light industrial: large metal and single-ply roofs where one bad fastener or lap can affect thousands of square feet.
• Churches and schools: often shingle over the sanctuary and flat roofs over classrooms, with a board that needs a clear written scope.
• HOAs and multifamily: clubhouses, carports and apartment or condo buildings where boards need consistent documentation and one point of contact.

Flat and low-slope roofing systems

Commercial roofs in this area are mostly flat and low-slope systems such as TPO and modified bitumen, with metal on warehouses, shops and many churches. The right one depends on the building, the budget and how long you plan to own it.

TPO and single-ply membranes

A single-ply membrane is rolled out over insulation or an existing substrate and its seams are heat-welded into one continuous sheet. Light-colored membranes reflect summer sun, which matters on an Austin building that runs air conditioning nine months a year. The details decide its life: seams, flashings, curbs and every penetration.

Modified bitumen

Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based system installed in layers, typically a base sheet and a cap sheet. It is tough underfoot, which helps on roofs with regular HVAC traffic, and it patches well. It is common on older Round Rock and Austin buildings, where a targeted repair often beats a tear-off.

Metal

Standing seam and screw-down metal covers many warehouses and shops around Hutto, Pflugerville and Georgetown. Metal typically lasts 40 to 60 years and reflects heat well, but fastener washers age out, laps open up, and rust starts where water sits. Many metal leaks are fixed by resealing and refastening, not replacing. See our metal roofing page for standing seam and metal shingle systems.

Steep-slope commercial

Churches, daycares, office condos and HOA amenity centers often wear shingles. Those get the same GAF systems and Master Elite workmanship we put on homes.

Commercial roof repair and leak repair

Commercial roof repair in Austin and Round Rock is mostly leak work, and a commercial leak is a detective job: water travels along the deck, down a purlin or inside a wall and shows up thirty feet from the source.

Where commercial roofs leak

• Drains and scuppers clogged with debris, so water ponds and finds the first open seam.
• HVAC curbs and pipe penetrations where the flashing was cut short or the sealant has cooked in the sun.
• Seams and laps that were never fully welded or have separated with years of thermal movement.
• Parapet walls and coping where wind drives rain sideways into the top of the wall.
• Fasteners and panel laps on metal roofs, especially on the south and west slopes that take the most heat.

How we handle a commercial leak

We walk the roof, trace the water path from the interior stain back to the likely entry point, and photograph what we find. Then you get a written repair scope with a guaranteed price. If water is coming in over inventory or tenants, say so when you call; we stop the water first and price the permanent fix second. Our roof repair page explains the approach in more detail.

Commercial roof inspections and maintenance plans

A commercial roof inspection with KangaRoof is free, in person and documented. We check drains, seams, flashings, curbs, coping, fasteners and any area holding water, photograph every concern, and give you a written summary you can file or hand to your board. Owners typically ask for one before buying, at lease turnover, after hail, and once a year.

Routine matters more on a flat roof than a pitched one: a drain cleared in March can save a membrane in August. For owners who want that handled, our Overhead Care Club is a roof and gutter maintenance membership that puts scheduled inspections, cleanouts and minor upkeep on a calendar so small problems stay small.

Repair, re-cover or replace

This decision separates an honest commercial roofer from an expensive one. How we think about it:

• Repair when the leaks are isolated, the membrane or panels are sound across most of the roof, and the insulation underneath is dry. Most first-time leak calls fall here.
• Re-cover when the existing roof is worn but dry and flat. A new membrane can sometimes go over the existing system, saving tear-off cost and keeping the building open. It is off the table with wet insulation, more than one existing layer, or a softened deck.
• Replace when moisture is trapped in the insulation, seams are failing everywhere, or the patches have become the problem. A full tear-off also lets us fix drainage and add insulation, which lowers the building's cooling load.

We tell you which category your roof is in and why, in writing, with photos. Then we price it as a guaranteed number. Our roof replacement page covers materials, timelines and what to expect during the work.

Hail, storms and insurance on commercial property

Central Texas hail season runs roughly March through June, with fall storms too, and commercial roofs take it differently than shingles. Hail can fracture a membrane, crush insulation, dent metal panels and break the seal on flashings without leaving anything visible from the parking lot. Damage not documented soon after a storm is easy for a carrier to call wear later.

After a storm we inspect, photograph and write up the damage so you have a clean record for your commercial policy. You file the claim; we document it and work with the adjuster on the roof so the approved scope matches what the building needs. Texas law lets a property owner choose their own contractor, and no roofer can legally waive or pay a deductible in Texas. Read storm and hail damage for what to check right after a storm and our insurance process guide for how a Texas claim moves from first call to final payment.

Commercial Roofing FAQ

Do you offer free commercial roof inspections in Austin and Round Rock?

Yes. Every KangaRoof roof inspection is free, in person and comes with photos and a written summary. On a commercial building we check drains, seams, flashings, curbs, coping and fasteners, and the report can go to a board, a buyer or an insurance carrier.

Can you repair a commercial roof leak without replacing the whole roof?

Usually. Most commercial leaks come from a specific detail: a clogged drain, a failed flashing at an HVAC curb, an open seam or a loose fastener on a metal panel. If the roof is sound around it, we repair the detail and quote it as a fixed price. We recommend replacement only when moisture is trapped in the insulation or the failures are spread across the roof.

How much does commercial roofing cost in Austin?

It depends on the system, the size, how many penetrations and curbs the roof has, whether insulation is wet and whether the existing roof can be re-covered or must be torn off. We do not publish per-square commercial pricing because those variables move it too much, but after a free inspection you get a guaranteed written price that does not change unless the scope does.

Can you replace a flat roof while the building stays open?

In most cases, yes. We stage the work by section, keep entrances and loading areas clear, and coordinate with tenants on noise and timing. Re-covers are the least disruptive since there is no tear-off, and the schedule is written out before work starts.

Do you handle hail damage claims on commercial buildings?

Yes. After a storm we document the roof with photos and a written report, and we work with your adjuster on the roof so nothing is missed. You file the claim with your carrier; we handle the roofing side. Texas law lets you choose your own roofer, and no contractor can legally absorb your deductible.
