What commercial systems do you install?

SystemWhere it fits
Mechanically seamed standing seamSeams crimped closed by machine for the tightest weather seal. The standard for low-slope commercial work.
Structural standing seamSpans open purlins without solid decking, common on metal buildings and warehouses.
R-panel / PBR panelEconomical exposed-fastener system widely used on shops, warehouses, and agricultural buildings.
Retrofit metal over existing roofA new metal system installed over a failing roof, often avoiding a full tear-off and the disruption that comes with it.

The right system depends on your roof's slope, the deck or purlin structure underneath, and how much disruption your operation can absorb. That's determined on site, not from a brochure.

Where do you work in Georgetown?

Georgetown has added roughly 46,000 people since 2020 and passed 115,000 residents in 2026, which has put up a lot of commercial square footage in a short window. The buildings we get called to most sit in a few places:

  • The Wolf Ranch Town Center corridor along SH 29 west of I-35, where retail and pad sites dominate
  • The I-35 and SH 130 corridor, including the light industrial and distribution space east and south of town
  • Georgetown Municipal Airport (KGTU) and the surrounding hangar and shop buildings, which are almost entirely metal already
  • The downtown square and Old Town, where a Certificate of Appropriateness may apply to any material change
  • Inner Loop and Westinghouse Road, which took the 18 April 2026 hail swath between Georgetown and Round Rock

Two Georgetown specifics worth knowing before you schedule work. First, the City requires roofing contractors to register through My Government Online before a permit is issued, and publishes the list of currently registered contractors, so you can verify anyone bidding your building. Second, commercial roof replacements are reviewed against the 2021 International Building Code, which Georgetown has adopted, not the 2015 edition some contractors still cite.

Why metal for a commercial building?

The case is much the same as residential, with the numbers scaled up. A commercial metal roof runs 40 to 60 years against 15 to 20 for many low-slope membrane systems, which means fewer replacement cycles over the life you own the building. Class 4 impact resistance matters in Central Texas, where hail regularly damages commercial roofs and drives up carrier costs.

Reflective finishes reduce cooling load on large roof areas, which shows up directly in utility spend on a big building. And fewer leaks means fewer interior claims, fewer tenant complaints, and less disruption to whatever happens under that roof.

What does storm season mean for a Georgetown building?

Commercial roofs in Georgetown take wind before they take hail, and the 19 May 2026 event is the clearest example on record. Winds hit 74 mph on a personal weather station north of town, 64 mph at the automated station at Georgetown Municipal Airport, and roughly 70 mph at SH 130 and I-35, where street lights and signage went down. Two miles east of Serenada, the National Weather Service recorded this:

“Metal roof panels mostly torn from service station canopy.”

A canopy is the worst case for uplift, because wind gets at both faces at once. But the lesson generalizes to any commercial metal roof: failures start at the edges and the attachments, not in the middle of the panel. On a low-slope structural standing seam roof over open purlins, that means clip spacing, perimeter enhancement, and terminations. Those are the details worth paying for and the first things we look at on an assessment.

For scheduling, April is the month to have the roof already sorted. Forty-three of Georgetown's 104 recorded hail events since 2004 landed in April, and September, though less frequent, produces the largest stones at an average 2.8 inches.

How do you keep our business running during the work?

We plan the project around your operations before a crew shows up. That usually means staging the work in sections so only part of the building is affected at a time, arranging access and material staging away from customer entrances and parking, and scheduling the loudest phases outside peak hours where the schedule allows. Sites are secured and cleaned at the end of each day.

Storm damage and commercial insurance claims

Large roof areas take a lot of hail. We provide documented inspections with photographs and measurements for your carrier and can meet your adjuster on-site. Commercial claims tend to get closer scrutiny than residential ones, so thorough documentation is worth the time. See how the claim process works.

Commercial roofing FAQs

Can you work around our business hours?
In most cases yes. Commercial work is often staged in phases or scheduled outside of peak hours to keep a business running during the project. We plan access, staging, and noise around your operations before work starts.
How much does a commercial metal roof cost?
Commercial pricing varies far more than residential because building size, roof slope, deck type, access, and code requirements differ so widely. Pricing is set after a site assessment and measurement, so there is no meaningful per-square-foot number to quote sight unseen.
Do you handle commercial insurance claims?
Yes. We document storm damage for your carrier and can meet the adjuster on-site. Commercial claims often involve more scrutiny and documentation than residential ones, so thorough inspection reports matter.
Can a metal roof go over our existing commercial roof?
Often, yes. A retrofit metal system installed over a failing roof can avoid a full tear-off, reduce disruption to your tenants or operations, and add slope for drainage on a problem low-slope roof. Whether it works depends on the existing structure and local code.
What about low-slope or flat roofs?
Low-slope commercial roofs typically call for mechanically seamed standing seam rather than snap-lock panels, because the seams need to be watertight at shallow pitches. We assess slope and drainage before recommending a system.
