Commercial Roof Repairs: Extending the Life of Your Roof

Written By

Bar H Contractors

For any business owner or property manager, the roof over your commercial building isn't just a structural necessity—it's a vital component of your business's protection and operational continuity. A damaged or deteriorating commercial roof can lead to water infiltration, energy loss, equipment damage, and costly disruptions. That’s why commercial roof repair should never be delayed or treated as a minor concern.

At Bar H Contractors, we specialize in delivering fast, effective, and long-lasting commercial roofing solutions. Based in Stephenville and serving the broader Cross Timbers region, we understand the unique demands placed on commercial roofs in Texas. Our team is trained to identify issues early, deliver quality repairs, and help you extend the life of your roofing system—all while minimizing disruption to your day-to-day operations.

Why Prompt Commercial Roof Repair Is So Important

A commercial roof isn't just a layer of protection—it's a key line of defense for your building's structural integrity, insulation performance, and indoor air quality. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, wind, and hail takes a toll. Left unaddressed, even small roof problems can lead to:

  • Interior water damage
  • Mold growth
  • Energy inefficiency
  • Costly structural repairs
  • Business downtime

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), roofing issues are among the top contributors to indoor air quality problems in commercial buildings, often tied to water intrusion and poor ventilation.

Proactive roof inspections and timely repairs not only preserve the performance of your building but also prevent emergency situations that can halt business operations and impact your bottom line.

Common Issues Requiring Commercial Roof Repair

Bar H Contractors handles a wide range of commercial roof repairs, from small leaks to large-scale restorations. Here are the most frequent issues we address for property owners and facility managers:

1. Roof Leaks and Water Ponding

Flat and low-slope roofs are particularly vulnerable to ponding water and leaks. Over time, poor drainage or compromised seams in the membrane can allow water to collect and seep through the roof deck.

2. Storm Damage from Hail and Wind

In the Cross Timbers region, hailstorms and high winds are a regular concern. These elements can crack roofing membranes, dislodge flashing, and puncture protective surfaces. Prompt repair after storms is critical to prevent long-term deterioration.

3. Flashing and Sealant Failure

Flashing—installed around roof penetrations like HVAC units, vents, and skylights—is one of the most common failure points on a commercial roof. Deteriorated or improperly sealed flashing often leads to leaks.

4. Shrinking, Blistering, or Cracking Membranes

As roofing materials age, they can shrink or blister due to sun exposure and fluctuating temperatures. Cracks in the surface lead to moisture infiltration and eventual structural damage if not corrected.

5. Punctures or Mechanical Damage

Foot traffic, tools, and rooftop equipment installations can cause accidental punctures in the roof membrane. These seemingly minor issues can allow water into the building envelope if not repaired quickly.

How Bar H Contractors Approaches Commercial Roof Repair

In-Depth Inspections With Drone Technology

Our first step in any commercial roof repair project is a comprehensive inspection. Bar H Contractors uses drone-assisted surveys to assess hard-to-reach areas safely and efficiently. This allows us to spot damage that might go unnoticed during a standard walkthrough.

We identify:

  • Leaks and moisture infiltration
  • Surface deterioration or punctures
  • Failed seams and flashing
  • Drainage problems
  • Material age and wear

After the inspection, we provide a detailed report with photos, a repair plan, and transparent cost estimates—so you know exactly what to expect.

Every roofing system has different needs. We’re experienced in repairing a wide variety of commercial roofs, including:

  • TPO and PVC single-ply membranes
  • Built-up roofing (BUR)
  • Modified bitumen

  • Metal roofing systems

Our team uses industry-best materials and techniques to ensure the repairs integrate seamlessly with your existing roof system and extend its life. Whether it's resealing seams, replacing membrane sections, or restoring roof coatings, we match every fix to the system and building type.

Preventative Maintenance to Avoid Major Repairs
