Running a business is no easy feat. You have to make sure you’re making enough profit while ensuring that your employees are happy and working in a safe and healthy environment.

Here Are Some Of The Most Common Issues You May Experience With Your Commercial Roof

Roof Leaks

Much like any roof type, your commercial roof is subject to wear and tear. This is due to weather conditions, the environment you may be located in and aging. Roof leaks are a common problem for commercial roofing, especially in areas that receive quite a bit of precipitation throughout the year. These leaks can be caused by foot traffic damage, a lack of a proper moisture barrier, the wearing out of your roof coating, hail damage as well as poor installation. Leaks that are not tended to can cause damage to the structure of your commercial roof and the building as a whole.

Standing Water

Due to the size of major business warehouses and buildings, it is quite common for commercial roofs to be flat. While flat roofing is quite economical and durable, they do have their downfalls. One of the most common downfalls of flat roofing is the accumulation of standing water. Standing water occurs as a result of poor installation and bad drainage systems. It can also be caused by blocked and broken gutters. Standing water can lead to the deterioration of your roof materials and water leaking into your building.

Storm Damage

Fort Worth is no stranger to storms and the damage that these weather giants can cause. Things like heavy rains, severe winds and hail are all weather elements that can inflict severe damage on your commercial roof. While we can’t prevent storm damage we can tend to the damage caused by these storms as soon as possible.

Lack of Maintenance

Like all things, commercial roofs require regular maintenance. Tending to minor issues and repairing any faults is vital to the survival of your roof. Regularly maintaining your roof and keeping it in working condition will cost you a lot less than having to replace an entire roof every ten years or so.

I used Texas Select Construction to replace my ten year old roof with a brand new roof. David and John came out to my house and provide a detailed estimate. The work was performed earlier than expected and completed all work in one day. Crew worked after dark to do a thorough clean up including rolling the yard to pick up all roofing nails. Texas Select Construction has the best customer service. I have recommended them to my family, friends and neighbors.

David and John were amazing to work with on the install of our new Class 4 roof and custom covered patio. They took a dream and a photo and made it a reality. It was exactly what I wanted. We had a small hiccup with flawed shingles and they immediately stopped the job, remedied it with the supplier, and had the job completed the next day. They were on time, took pride in workmanship, and delivered on every promise. The crews cleaned up after themselves and handled our home with care. Texas Select … More also took amazing care of a few friends and clients. We’re very happy that we chose to work with Texas Select Construction!

In October of 2022, I contacted Texas Select to help rebuild my house after a fire. David and his crew met with us and discussed what they could do and gave us a general timeline for the project. We had never built a house before and needed someone we could trust to get our home rebuilt. David worked with us and built the home we wanted. He kept us involved and informed all the way. By August we were back in our house.

We just had our roof done by Texas Select and are very happy. John was great in explaining everything to us. We had never had our roof done before and we were confused by the process and the insurance company. He took the time to explain everything to us. He also made sure everything that he said would be done did get done. We were so impressed by him that we decided to go with him over a family member that also owns a roofing company. John is a very nice and professional guy. He left us feeling … More confident about our budget and our home. John also recommended a better ventalation system then the one the other company qouted us for. They even came back and fixed a few things that got a little messed up in the process and they made it right. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get roof work done.

Texas Select Construction is hands down the best roofing contractor I have EVER dealt with. John Naylor not only anticipated but took care of every need/question that arose. He is very thorough throughout the entire process starting with the inspection, explaining the process, dealing with the insurance company, overseeing the re-roof, to helping pickup any nails that might have fallen in the street or on my neighbors property! I was kept updated during every phase of the job! They did what … More they said, when they said they would do it, the communication was great! Texas Select is my roofer for LIFE!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Texas Select Construction. From the first contact with Andy, our roofing coach, until the last nail was meticulously cleaned from our property, we could not have had a better experience. The entire crew worked so hard in this awful heat and did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Texas Select Construction. Request Andy. He will take care of you!
