Commercial Roofing Contractors: Experts in Flat and Low-Slope Roofing

For business owners and commercial property managers, the condition of your roof is critical to the ongoing success of your operation. It’s not just a structural element—it’s your building’s first line of defense against the unpredictable weather of the Cross Timbers region. Whether your facility uses a flat or low-slope roof, maintaining a durable, watertight surface is key to protecting your employees, equipment, and investments.

At Bar H Contractors, we specialize in commercial flat and low-slope roofing solutions, offering expert installation, repair, and maintenance designed to meet the challenges of Texas weather. Our commercial roofing contractors bring experience, precision, and professionalism to every job, helping local businesses stay safe and efficient from the top down.

Understanding Flat Roofing Systems

Flat roofs are a popular choice for commercial buildings thanks to their cost-efficiency, accessibility, and suitability for HVAC systems and solar panels. But despite the name, flat roofs aren’t truly flat—they have a slight slope (typically 1/4 inch per foot) to enable proper drainage. Still, they come with unique challenges that demand expertise and regular attention.

Bar H Contractors installs and repairs a range of modern flat roofing systems, including:

Built-Up Roofing (BUR)

This classic system layers bitumen and reinforcing fabrics, topped with a gravel or cap sheet surface. BUR is known for its reliability and resistance to heavy foot traffic.

Modified Bitumen

An evolution of BUR, modified bitumen roofing offers enhanced elasticity and strength. It's ideal for buildings that experience both hot summers and cold snaps.

TPO, PVC, and EPDM Single-Ply Membranes

Lightweight, energy-efficient, and highly durable, these synthetic membranes are a top choice for modern flat roofs. Each type offers unique advantages:

• TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin): Excellent UV resistance and heat reflectivity
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Chemical-resistant and highly durable
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Flexible and well-suited to fluctuating temperatures

The Challenges of Flat Roofs and How We Solve Them

Flat roofing systems can encounter specific problems if not properly installed or maintained. These include:

• Ponding water: Can lead to membrane degradation and leaks
• UV exposure: Accelerates aging and weakens surface materials
• Thermal shock: Repeated expansion and contraction damages seams and fasteners

At Bar H Contractors, we address these challenges with proactive design and installation strategies, using high-performance materials and proper slope planning. Our contractors conduct in-depth assessments to identify drainage issues and structural concerns, ensuring a system that performs reliably for decades.

Low-Slope Roofing: Practical Protection with a Pitch

Many commercial buildings utilize low-slope roofs—sloped just enough to promote drainage while still allowing for HVAC units and equipment to sit atop the structure. These roofs fall between flat and steep-slope systems and require careful material selection and drainage design.

We offer several low-slope roofing solutions, including:

Metal Roofing Systems

Durable, sleek, and long-lasting, metal roofs offer a superior option for low-slope commercial applications. They reflect heat, resist corrosion, and require minimal maintenance.

Asphalt Shingle Systems (For Light Commercial Use)

On some low-slope buildings—especially mixed-use properties—architectural shingles can provide both protection and curb appeal. We ensure proper underlayment and flashing to prevent water intrusion.

Roof Coatings and Restoration

Silicone and acrylic roof coatings can restore aging flat or low-slope roofs without a full replacement. These coatings seal cracks, improve energy efficiency, and extend the roof’s life at a fraction of the cost.

Synthetic Underlayments

We pair every system with modern underlayments that resist moisture and mold growth, providing a second line of defense beneath the roofing material.

Our Process: Precision, Transparency, and Results

Every commercial roofing project begins with a comprehensive inspection and consultation. We assess the current roof condition, identify trouble spots, and propose tailored solutions based on your building type, usage, and long-term goals.

• Detailed scope of work and timelines
• Material and labor warranties
