Howard County Storm Damage Experts & Complete Roofing Services
Your Trusted Roofing Partner in Big Spring, Texas
Big Spring, the Howard County seat with approximately 28,000 residents, sits at the crossroads of US-87 and I-20 in the heart of West Texas. Known for Big Spring State Park and Scenic Mountain, the city has a long history tied to oil production, ranching, and the Permian Basin energy sector. 5 Star Commercial Roofing provides comprehensive roofing services throughout Big Spring and Howard County.
Big Spring's economy is anchored by the oil and gas industry, with major employers including Alon USA refinery and numerous oilfield service companies. The VA Medical Center, Big Spring State Hospital, and Howard College also contribute significantly to the local economy. These institutional and industrial properties require specialized commercial roofing expertise, from TPO membrane systems on flat-roof facilities to metal roofing on warehouses and maintenance buildings.
West Texas weather hits Big Spring hard. The city sits at approximately 2,400 feet elevation where the Caprock Escarpment meets the rolling plains, creating a corridor for severe thunderstorms. Between March and September, supercell storms produce damaging hail, straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, and occasional tornadoes. The 2019 hailstorm that struck Big Spring caused widespread roof damage across residential and commercial properties. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, and the area receives intense UV radiation that degrades roofing materials faster than in lower-elevation cities. These conditions demand expert installation and premium materials rated for extreme weather.

Roofing Challenges in Big Spring & Howard County
Caprock Escarpment Storm Corridor
Big Spring's location along the Caprock Escarpment makes it a hotspot for severe thunderstorms. Warm, moist air from the Gulf lifts rapidly along the escarpment, fueling supercell storms that produce large hail and damaging winds. The 2019 Big Spring hailstorm is a prime example of how quickly widespread roof damage can occur. Class 4 impact-resistant materials are strongly recommended for all Big Spring properties.
Oil Field & Industrial Roofing
Big Spring's oil and gas economy means numerous commercial and industrial facilities requiring specialized roofing. From the Alon refinery complex to oilfield service yards and pipe storage facilities, these properties need chemical-resistant membranes, heavy-duty metal roofing, and systems that can handle high-traffic roof access for maintenance equipment.
Heat & UV Degradation
Big Spring summers regularly push past 100 degrees, with roof surface temperatures reaching 160 degrees or higher. Combined with intense UV radiation and low humidity, these conditions accelerate the breakdown of petroleum-based roofing materials. Reflective TPO and metal roofing systems reduce cooling costs while providing superior durability against heat and UV exposure.
Big Spring: Crossroads of West Texas
I-20 Corridor & Commerce
Big Spring's position along I-20 makes it a natural stopping point between Midland-Odessa and Abilene. The I-20 corridor has attracted hotels, truck stops, restaurants, and commercial developments that all require reliable commercial roofing. The historic downtown district along Main Street features buildings from the early oil boom era that need specialized roofing to maintain their architectural character while handling modern weather extremes.
Major Employers & Institutions
The VA Medical Center serves veterans across a vast West Texas region and requires institutional-grade roofing maintenance. Big Spring State Hospital is another major campus requiring ongoing commercial roofing services. Howard College provides higher education and workforce training, with campus buildings that need durable roofing solutions. The Alon USA refinery is the largest industrial employer, with specialized roofing needs for chemical-exposure environments.
