Question 1

What is the best commercial roofing system for Texas buildings?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your slope, use case, and long-term plans. TPO and PVC are most common for flat commercial roofs, while metal dominates on pitched applications. Modified bitumen and BUR remain unmatched for rugged durability.

Question 2

What’s the typical lifespan of a commercial roof in Fort Worth?

Accepted Answer

TPO and PVC last 20–30 years. Modified bitumen and BUR range from 25–40 years. Metal systems can last 50+ years with proper installation and maintenance.

Question 3

Do roof coatings really work?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. When applied to a dry, structurally sound roof, coatings can add 10–15 years of service life and significantly reduce rooftop temperatures.

Question 4

How do I know if my roof qualifies for a coating instead of replacement?

Accepted Answer

Schedule an inspection. We’ll test for moisture, check membrane integrity, and provide a photo-documented assessment.

Question 5

Can I get insurance discounts for impact-resistant systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. UL 2218 Class 4-rated roofs, such as certain metal and reinforced membrane systems, often qualify for reduced premiums in hail-prone areas.

Question 6

Do you handle commercial roof leak repair near me?

Accepted Answer

Texcore provides same-day emergency repair throughout Fort Worth and DFW. We specialize in rapid diagnostics and mitigation.

Question 7

Is EPDM still a viable option in Texas?

Accepted Answer

It can be with a reflective topcoat. EPDM is especially flexible and works well in freeze-thaw cycles. It’s commonly used for retrofits.

Question 8

What’s the biggest mistake owners make when selecting a roof system?

Accepted Answer

Choosing based on price alone. A poorly matched system leads to higher long-term costs, frequent repairs, and lost tenant confidence.

Question 9

Do I need a commercial roof inspection every year?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Biannual inspections (spring and fall) are ideal, plus after any major storm.

Question 10

How do I choose the right commercial roof installation contractor?

Accepted Answer

Look for a local, licensed company with references, photo-documented inspections, and system-specific expertise — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
