Commercial Roof Types We Install in Houston
Choosing the Right Roofing System for Your South Texas Business
Every commercial building has unique needs—and so does every roof.
STX Roofing assists property owners and managers in Houston and the surrounding areas in selecting the most suitable commercial roofing types for their specific structures, budgets, and long-term objectives. Whether your property has a flat roof, a low-slope system, or an architectural sloped roof, our veteran-led team provides expert guidance, quality installation, and long-lasting protection.
Flat vs. Sloped Commercial Roofs
Choosing between flat and sloped commercial roofs depends on your building’s structure, design, and how you plan to use the space. Flat roofs are ideal for larger commercial and industrial buildings that require mechanical equipment to be placed on the roof. Sloped roofs are often preferred for beauty, drainage, and traditional styling in retail or office complexes.
STX Roofing provides customized roofing solutions for both residential and commercial applications, utilizing high-performance materials that withstand Houston’s extreme heat, storms, and humidity.
Flat Roofing Options
Flat commercial roofs require durable, watertight systems that can resist pooling, UV rays, and thermal expansion. We install a wide range of proven flat roofing systems, including:
- TPO Roofing: A fast-growing single-ply membrane, TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) offers excellent energy efficiency, UV resistance, and environmental benefits. Its reflective surface lowers cooling costs, and it’s fully recyclable.
- Built-Up Roofing (BUR): Made of alternating layers of felt and bitumen, BUR roofs provide strong, time-tested protection. They are topped with gravel or mineral coatings for added durability.
- Modified Bitumen (Mod-Bit): This asphalt-based system offers reinforced strength and flexibility, making it ideal for flat or low-slope roofs needing impact resistance and redundancy.
- Roof Coatings: Ideal for extending the life of aging flat roofs, commercial roof coatings (such as silicone or acrylic) create a seamless waterproof layer. Coatings can restore performance without requiring a full replacement.
Single-Ply Roofing Membranes
Single-ply roofing systems are lightweight and versatile, making them an ideal solution for commercial flat roofs in the Southeast Texas region. These include:
- EPDM: A flexible rubber membrane known for its durability, UV resistance, and performance in varying temperatures.
- PVC: A chemically resistant membrane perfect for restaurants, industrial buildings, and facilities with roof-mounted equipment. It’s energy-efficient, fire-resistant, and low maintenance.
- TPO: As mentioned above, TPO is a reflective, energy-saving membrane that’s quickly become a top choice for environmentally conscious commercial properties.
Sloped Roofing Options
For commercial properties with visible or pitched roofs, we offer the following sloped systems:
- Commercial Metal Roofing: Today’s metal roofs are highly durable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance. They offer a clean, modern appearance and are well-suited for office buildings, retail shops, and warehouses.
- Architectural Shingles: Although more commonly used in residential settings, architectural shingles are also employed on select commercial buildings due to their affordability, ease of repair, and design flexibility.
Sloped systems offer superior water runoff and curb appeal, making them ideal for certain retail and institutional properties.
