Commercial Roofing Contractor in Tyler, TX
Commercial roofing is the installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance of roofing systems on commercial, industrial, and multi-unit properties, including flat and low-slope systems such as TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, metal, and built-up roofing. Redline Roofing provides full-service commercial roofing across East Texas, using our own trained crews and licensed in Texas for all commercial work. We work on office buildings, warehouses, retail centers, restaurants, industrial facilities, and multi-family properties.
Commercial roofing systems we install
| System | Cost (installed) | Lifespan | Seam Type | Best For | |---|---|---|---|---| | TPO | $5–$10/sq ft | 20–30 years | Heat-welded | Most commercial - best energy performance in Texas heat | | EPDM | $4–$8/sq ft | 20–30 years | Adhesive/mechanical | Budget-conscious projects; proven track record | | PVC | $6–$10/sq ft | 20–30 years | Heat-welded | Restaurants; buildings with rooftop grease exposure | | Modified bitumen | $5–$9/sq ft | 15–25 years | Torch-applied/cold-applied | Heavy foot traffic; rooftop storage | | Metal (standing seam) | $8–$14/sq ft | 40–60 years | Concealed clip | Long-term value; sloped commercial roofs | | Built-up (BUR) | $4–$8/sq ft | 15–30 years | Layered felt/bitumen | Industrial; heavy-use flat roofs |
- TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin). A white single-ply membrane that reflects UV radiation and reduces cooling loads in hot climates. Heat-welded seams provide strong leak resistance. TPO has become the most commonly specified single-ply system for commercial buildings in Texas due to its energy performance and long track record. Typical lifespan: 20 to 30 years.
- EPDM (thermoset rubber membrane). A black rubber single-ply membrane, bonded with adhesive or mechanically fastened. Durable, UV-resistant, and cost-effective. Somewhat less energy-efficient than TPO in hot climates but proven over decades of commercial use. Typical lifespan: 20 to 30 years.
- PVC roofing. A single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams, excellent chemical resistance, and strong performance in environments with rooftop grease exposure (restaurants, food processing). Sika Sarnafil is a common manufacturer. Typical lifespan: 20 to 30 years.
- Modified bitumen. A multi-layer system using asphalt and polymer-modified sheets applied over insulation. Extremely durable, handles heavy foot traffic well, and performs reliably in flat roof applications where ponding is not a chronic issue. Typical lifespan: 15 to 25 years.
- Metal roofing. Standing seam and exposed fastener metal systems for commercial and industrial buildings. Exceptionally long-lived (40 to 60 years), fire-resistant, and low-maintenance. Requires at least a minor slope for proper drainage. See our metal roofing page for detail.
- Built-up roofing (BUR). Multiple alternating layers of roofing felt and bitumen, topped with a gravel surface. Durable, good for foot traffic, and easy to maintain. Common on older commercial buildings and industrial applications. Typical lifespan: 15 to 30 years depending on membrane quality.
- Roof coatings. For commercial roofs that are structurally sound but showing surface wear, a roof coating can extend service life by sealing minor cracks and improving UV resistance. Not a substitute for failing membranes, but a cost-effective tool for extending a roof that has several years of life remaining.
Commercial roofing services
- New installation. We install commercial roofing systems on new construction for general contractors and building owners across East Texas. We coordinate with GCs on scheduling and sequencing to keep projects on track.
- Replacement. Full removal of the existing roofing system, inspection and repair of the deck and insulation layer, and installation of a new system. We recommend the replacement system based on the building’s use, drainage design, budget, and local weather exposure.
- Repair. Targeted repairs for membrane punctures, seam failures, flashing leaks, and storm damage. We inspect first, advise on repair vs. replacement, and provide written estimates before scheduling any work.
- Maintenance programs. Scheduled semi-annual or annual inspections to identify developing issues before they become emergencies. We provide written condition reports after each visit.
Commercial Roofing Services in Tyler, TX
Our commercial roofing services in Tyler run out of the office at 2301 S Broadway Ave, Suite A8, a few minutes from the Loop 323 medical corridor and the Broadway Square retail area where much of our Tyler commercial work is located. Because the crews are based here, a Tyler property manager can get a same-week roof assessment and a written report without waiting on a crew from Dallas or Shreveport.
Commercial roofing systems we install in Tyler
The systems listed higher on this page are the ones we install across Smith County, and each one fits a different kind of Tyler building:
- TPO for retail, office and medical buildings that want a white reflective membrane over a flat or low-slope deck.
- PVC for restaurants, commercial kitchens and facilities with grease or chemical exposure. Our crews are certified installers for Sika Sarnafil PVC membranes, which the manufacturer describes as roofs built to last 30 or more years in every climate.
- Modified bitumen for smaller flat roofs, older buildings and areas with heavy foot traffic around rooftop units.
- Commercial metal roofing for warehouses, agricultural buildings, shops and any structure with enough slope to shed water. We are certified for MBCI metal roof and wall panels, so standing seam and R-Panel roofs, wall panels and trims come from one manufacturer with one warranty path.
If you are comparing commercial roofing systems in Tyler, the honest answer is that the deck, the slope and what sits on the roof decide the system more than price does. A free commercial roof inspection gives you a written recommendation with photos before any proposal.
What a Tyler commercial project looks like
- Site visit and core sample or infrared scan where wet insulation is suspected.
- Written scope with the system, insulation R-value, drain and flashing details, and a schedule built around your hours of operation.
- Installation by our own employees, not subcontractors, with the general liability and workers compensation certificates the page above describes.
- Final walkthrough, manufacturer warranty registration and a maintenance schedule.

Commercial Roofing in Tyler, TX
Tyler is the commercial and medical center of East Texas, and Redline Roofing and Construction has served Tyler commercial property owners and property managers since 2004 from our Tyler office at 2301 S Broadway Ave. Our commercial roofing work in Tyler covers the full range of building types across Smith County.
Tyler Commercial Property Types We Serve
Medical and healthcare facilities along the Dawson Road and US-271 corridor, including medical office buildings, specialty clinics, and healthcare-adjacent commercial properties. Medical facilities require roofing work coordinated around occupied building operations, and our scheduling accommodates that.
Retail and mixed-use properties along South Broadway, Loop 323, Troup Highway, and throughout Tyler’s commercial corridors. Retail tenants are sensitive to any roofing disruption, and we plan commercial projects to minimize impact on business hours where possible.
Warehouses and distribution properties along the East Texas Loop (Loop 49), US-69, and other industrial corridors in eastern and southern Smith County. These properties typically carry large-footprint flat or low-slope commercial roofing systems where TPO, PVC, and commercial metal are the standard specifications.
Institutional and educational properties throughout Smith County where planned maintenance programs and documented condition reporting are part of the asset management process.
Agricultural and rural commercial properties in eastern Smith County where metal roofing and metal wall panel systems are the standard for durability and low-maintenance cost of ownership.
Tyler Commercial Roof Repair
Commercial roof repair in Tyler addresses the specific failure modes most common to Smith County commercial properties: membrane seam failures from thermal cycling, flashing failures at HVAC equipment penetrations, drain blockage from East Texas pine and hardwood debris, and hail punctures following spring storm events.
For Tyler commercial properties experiencing a roof leak, the fastest path to a solution is a professional inspection that identifies the actual water entry point rather than the symptom location. Water on a commercial roof travels horizontally along the membrane surface and across the insulation before finding an entry point into the building. The leak point on the ceiling is rarely directly below the breach in the membrane.
Tyler Commercial Roof Replacement
When a Tyler commercial roof has reached the end of its service life or sustained damage beyond cost-effective repair, Redline handles the complete replacement project: membrane removal, substrate inspection and repair, insulation replacement where moisture intrusion has compromised the existing insulation, and new system installation to manufacturer specifications.
We schedule Tyler commercial replacements to minimize disruption to building occupants and tenants. For occupied buildings, phased replacement approaches that keep portions of the building dry throughout the project are available.

Commercial Roof Repair in Tyler and East Texas
The Tyler Commercial Roof Repair section above explains how we decide between repair and replacement. This section covers what a repair call actually involves, because most commercial roof repair searches in Tyler come from a property manager with water on the floor, not someone shopping for a new roof.
Common commercial roof repairs we handle
- Single-ply (TPO, PVC, EPDM): open seams, punctures from dropped tools or HVAC service, failed pipe boots and curb flashings, and membrane shrinkage pulling at the perimeter.
- Modified bitumen and built-up: blisters, splits at the seams, alligatored surfacing and ponding around clogged drains.
- Metal roofs: backed-out fasteners, failed sealant at laps and penetrations, rusted panels at the eave and loose ridge or gable trim.
- Storm damage: hail-fractured membranes, wind-lifted edge metal and debris punctures after East Texas spring storms, documented for your insurance carrier.
How a commercial roof repair call works
When you call 903-437-7049, we ask for the building address, the roof type if you know it and where the water is showing inside. A crew traces the leak on the roof, makes a temporary repair to stop active water entry when it is safe to do so, then sends photos and a written repair scope. Permanent repairs are made with the manufacturer’s own materials so an existing warranty is not voided. Where the roof is near the end of its life, we tell you that plainly and quote both the repair and the replacement so you can decide.
We handle commercial roof repair near Tyler and across East Texas from all three offices: Tyler, Longview and Kilgore. For general guidance on what to expect from a roofing contractor, the National Roofing Contractors Association publishes consumer information on roofing and contractor selection. For scheduled maintenance instead of emergency repair, see our roof maintenance programs.

What our customers say
"We had chronic leaks at two locations on our warehouse roof. Redline came out, did a thorough inspection, and gave us a clear assessment - the membrane had another few years in it and the leaks were isolated to failed seams. They repaired the seams, no unnecessary upsell to replacement. The leaks are gone."
Brian H., Tyler TX, September 2023
"Redline replaced the flat roof on our retail building and coordinated the whole project around our business hours so we never had to close. Clean, professional, and done on schedule. Their written estimate matched the final invoice exactly."
Carla M., Longview TX, November 2023
"We use Redline for all of our commercial properties in East Texas. They inspect on schedule, document everything, and when something needs attention they tell us before it becomes a bigger issue. That kind of proactive communication is hard to find."
