Commercial Roofing in Houston, TX
Honest Roofing from a Local Texas Company
FREE ROOF INSPECTION
For residential, commercial, or any emergency jobs.
A Commercial Roof Runs on a Different Clock
Commercial roofing problems tend to show up when something else is already in motion. Maybe a leak is threatening inventory, water is pooling on a flat section after a storm, or a lender or insurer has flagged the roof during a property review. Whatever brings you to Petrus Roofing, the process starts with a free 7-point inspection so you can understand the condition of the roof before making decisions about repairs, replacement, or cost.
Every commercial inspection includes more than 50 photos and videos combined, documenting what we find along with a straightforward explanation of what needs attention and how soon it should be addressed. You’ll have a clear record of the roof’s condition that can also be useful when working with lenders, insurers, tenants, or other stakeholders.
Commercial property owners can also get a free thermal drone scan of the roof. Wet insulation and water trapped under the membrane hold heat differently than dry roofing, so the scan shows exactly where moisture has worked its way in, often in areas that look perfectly fine from the surface. How much of the roof is wet decides whether a repair, a coating, a recover, or a full reroof makes sense, and it’s also what determines whether the work can qualify for a manufacturer’s 20-year NDL warranty.

Thermal Drone Inspections
We are among the foremost experts across Texas when it comes to thermal imaging and moisture scans. We conduct drone-powered thermal scans and provide thorough, professional reports on our findings. Gauging moisture levels in an existing roof system is a crucial part of determining options, especially when ensuring that a roof improvement qualifies for the manufacturer’s warranty.
Insurance Support
Petrus Roofing keeps you sane and steady when dealing with the frustrations of insurance claims. We are insurance experts and are here to educate our clients. You’ve heard “Knowledge is power”, but when it comes to insurance, “Education is Armor” against being taken advantage of.
Tax
Deductions
Did you know roof improvements may qualify for tax credits? Depending on your business structure and the type of roof improvements being implemented, there are huge opportunities for driving down the final cost, whether it’s a new roof or even just a waterproof coating. We can help you determine which questions to ask your accountants in order to uncover deduction opportunities.
Scheduling That Works Around Your Operations
Roofing work affects everyone inside an occupied building, so keeping your business running comes first. Before the crew ever arrives, we’ll learn how the property operates and what can’t be interrupted, then build the schedule around your operating hours as much as possible. The goal is to get the roof done while employees, tenants, customers, and visitors go about their day.
We take the same straightforward approach to pricing. Once we’ve inspected the roof and understand what it actually needs, we’ll walk you through the recommendation and the cost together. If a repair to one section is all that’s necessary, we’ll say so rather than pushing a full replacement.
How a Petrus Commercial Roofing Project Works
We run a commercial job in six stages, from your first call to the finished roof, and you should know all six before you sign anything:
Free Inspection and Thermal Scan
We inspect the full roof system to the same 7-point standard we hold on a house, recording every finding in photos and video, and a thermal drone scan shows where moisture sits below the surface.
Honest Recommendation
Repair, coating, recover, or full reroof: you get a plain answer on which one the roof needs, and what led us there.
Your Estimate
The estimate comes after the inspection, not before, and it’s based on what we actually found on your roof.
Scheduling Around Your Business
Before work starts, we plan the job with your team around your operating hours, so the business keeps running while the roof gets done.
Installation
The roof goes on to the manufacturer’s specification, the standard a 20-year NDL warranty depends on, with crews who are fully licensed, insured, and working to the safety compliance a commercial site requires.
Cleanup and Final Walkthrough
Cleanup comes with the job. On a qualifying reroof, the final walkthrough happens with the manufacturer on the roof, and that inspection is what issues your 20-year NDL warranty.
Roofing Systems for Commercial Buildings
Most commercial roofs across the Houston area are low-slope or flat, from small retail strips to warehouses and office buildings. The right system depends on the building’s structure, the condition of the existing roof, and how you use the space, so we settle that before we specify anything. Nearly all of our commercial installations today are TPO or PVC. We also work with modified bitumen, though it’s far less common than it used to be.
TPO
A single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams, and the most common choice on low-slope commercial roofs in the Houston area. Its light-colored surface reflects sunlight, which helps keep the roof cooler through a Texas summer.
PVC
Another heat-welded single-ply membrane, with strong resistance to chemicals, grease, and oils. That makes it a common pick for restaurants and for buildings with heavy rooftop equipment or exhaust.
Roof Coatings
A fluid-applied coating over an existing roof that’s still structurally sound. When a thermal scan shows the roof underneath is dry, a coating can extend its service life without the cost and disruption of a tear-off.
Related Roofing Services
Commercial roofing is one part of what we handle across the Houston area. Most commercial roofs need inspection, repair, or maintenance work at some point too. We're here to help with all your roofing needs, commercial or residential.
Roof Inspection
The free 7-point inspection we start every commercial job with, documented in photos and video.
Roof Replacement
For roofs that have reached the end of their service life instead of developing a single problem.
Roof Repair
For contained damage on a commercial roof that is otherwise sound: failed flashing, a section of lifted membrane, or storm damage in one area.
Roof Maintenance
Scheduled visits where we catch small problems on a commercial roof before they turn into a tenant complaint or a larger repair.
Emergency Roof Tarp
Temporary protection we put on when storm damage has opened up a commercial roof and the permanent repair has to wait.
In life, there are no guarantees. In roofing and solar, there’s the Petrus Workmanship Warranty.
On a qualifying commercial reroof, the manufacturer issues a 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranty that covers both the materials and the installation. It’s issued after a final walkthrough of the finished roof with the manufacturer, and it comes with a service agreement: the first two years of inspections, caulking, and repairs are included, and service after that continues on a paid basis. Coverage on other commercial work depends on the roof system and the scope of the job, and we’ll explain exactly what applies to your roof before work begins.
An Ethical Sales Process on Every Commercial Roof
We don't build a roof so that it brings us back for repairs later. When we inspect a commercial roof that only needs a repair, that's what we recommend, even when a full reroof would have been the bigger job.
Learn More About Financing
A commercial roofing project is a real capital expense, and you have to time it around cash flow as well as weather. We'll walk you through the financing options available so a roof that needs work now doesn't have to wait on the budget. Bring your timeline to the inspection and we'll tell you what's workable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial roofing questions tend to come down to disruption, documentation, and who is actually doing the work.
Yes. We run the same free 7-point inspection on a commercial roof as on a house, document it with more than 50 photos and videos, and give you a plain-language recommendation. Commercial properties can also get a free thermal drone scan to check for moisture below the surface.
Trapped moisture. Wet insulation and water under the membrane hold heat differently than dry roofing, so they stand out clearly on a thermal image, often in spots that look fine from the surface. The scan tells us how much of the roof is still dry, which decides whether a repair, a coating, a recover, or a full reroof makes sense.
Keeping your business running comes first. We'll plan the work with your team before it starts and build the schedule around your operating hours instead of around our crew.
