The Roof Is the Easy Part. The Building Is the Job.
Two Amarillo buildings can carry the same square footage of the same membrane and be completely different projects. One is empty at night and has a dock the crew can stage from. The other has forty guest rooms sold underneath it and a corridor of rooftop units in the way. The membrane is a line item; how you work around what is beneath it is most of the schedule, most of the risk and a fair share of the price.
So this page is organized by building rather than by material. If you already know you are choosing a system, our commercial flat roof systems page covers membranes, coatings and asphalt assemblies, and the homepage covers everything 5 Star Roofing does. Eleven years of Panhandle commercial work is where the building-by-building rules below came from.
What Changes From One Building to the Next
Who is underneath
Tenants, guests, residents, staff or nothing but stock. That single fact decides whether we can run a normal daytime crew, whether the work goes to evenings and weekends, and how much notice everyone under the deck needs before the noise starts.
What a leak costs
In this market that is not hypothetical. Potter County has recorded 131 severe hail days since 2000 and Amarillo averages 8 to 12 hailstorms a year. The same three feet of failed seam is a nuisance over a shed and a five-figure problem over racked inventory.
- How the crew and material get onto the roof
- How much rooftop equipment has to be flashed around
- Whether it is one roof or a whole property of them
- Who actually signs — owner, board, manager or tenant
Warehouse Roofing
Large low-slope roofs over racked inventory, where the roof area is big enough that small per-square decisions turn into real money and a single leak lands on stock rather than on a floor. Access, staging around live dock doors and sequencing so the building keeps shipping are usually harder problems than the membrane itself.
Shopping Center Roofing
A retail center is one roof with many tenants under it, each with their own lease, their own trading hours and their own opinion about scaffolding by the front door. Work has to be sequenced tenant by tenant, staged clear of customer parking, and coordinated with a manager who has to keep every unit trading while it happens.
Industrial Building Roofing
Production facilities put things on and through the roof that ordinary commercial buildings do not: heavy mechanical equipment, process exhaust, chemical or grease discharge, and penetrations that were added long after the original roof went on. Material selection and flashing detail matter more here, and downtime is usually the most expensive item in the project.
Hotel and Motel Roofing
On a lodging property every room under the work is a room you are trying to sell tonight, which turns the roof schedule into a revenue decision. Motels and hotels are also two different roofs. The low-rise motel walk-up and the multi-story hotel with a crowded mechanical deck are not the same job, and the leaks tend to start around all that rooftop equipment.
Apartment and Condo Complex Roofing
A complex is a sequence of roofs rather than one, and the first question is usually who signs: an owner, a condo board or an HOA with its own approval process. Residents are home during the day, buildings are rarely all the same roof type, and hail on a multi-building property produces a claim covering a dozen structures at once.
Agricultural Building Roofing
Barns, machine sheds, hay and grain storage, shops and livestock buildings are a different assembly from any commercial roof: usually uninsulated panel over purlin, where condensation control matters because the contents are the point. Open doors let wind in underneath and lift panels from the inside, and the work has to fit around the season rather than the calendar.
Metal Building and R-Panel Roofing
Pre-engineered metal buildings (shops, self-storage, churches, offices and light industrial) carry through-fastened R-panel or PBR roofs held on by thousands of individual screws with washers that age out. Re-fastening is maintenance rather than repair, most leaks are in the trim, curbs and gutters rather than the panel field, and end of life is a choice between re-screwing, retrofitting over the top, or replacing.
