From Tech Terrace to Whisperwood, from Arnett Benson to Lakeridge, we've restored thousands of hail-damaged roofs across the Hub City.

Lubbock's residential neighborhoods each present distinct challenges. Tech Terrace's tree-lined streets and older construction require special attention to ventilation and structural integrity.

North and South Overton homes - with Overton's transformation into one of Lubbock's trendiest areas - need modern, energy-efficient solutions that complement contemporary renovations.
Our residential services include: Complete roof replacement with premium architectural shingles, roof repair for storm damage, attic ventilation upgrades crucial for Lubbock's 100°F+ summers, energy-efficient cool roof systems that reduce cooling costs, and gutter installation/replacement to handle occasional heavy rains.

Commercial Roofing
Serving Lubbock's diverse business community from downtown's historic Depot District (home to the iconic Buddy Holly Center) to modern facilities along the Marsha Sharp Freeway corridor, from retail centers near Loop 289 to Texas Tech University campus buildings. We've installed and maintained commercial roofing systems on everything from the 140,000-square-foot Rawls College of Business to local restaurants in the revitalized North Overton district.
Texas Tech's campus presents unique commercial roofing challenges with buildings like Jones AT&T Stadium (capacity 60,000+, currently undergoing a $242 million renovation), the Student Union Building at 15th Street and Akron Avenue, and numerous academic facilities requiring minimal disruption during installations. We've worked extensively with university-area properties and understand the scheduling, access, and quality requirements these projects demand.
Commercial expertise includes: TPO and EPDM flat roof systems engineered for Lubbock's extreme weather, PVC membrane systems for superior hail resistance and chemical applications, built-up roofing (BUR) providing multi-layer protection for industrial buildings, modified bitumen installations with enhanced UV resistance, metal roofing for warehouses and agricultural facilities common in the South Plains, preventive maintenance programs that extend roof life and prevent costly emergency repairs, and roof coating systems that restore aging commercial roofs at a fraction of replacement cost.

Metal roofing is increasingly popular in Lubbock - and for excellent reasons. Lubbock's climate is uniquely challenging: sustained winds averaging 12+ mph with gusts frequently exceeding 50 mph (one of America's windiest cities), temperature swings from 100°F+ summer days to sub-zero winter nights, intense UV exposure at 3,256 feet elevation, and severe hail storms that can destroy conventional shingles in minutes.
Metal roofing handles all these conditions better than any other material. Standing seam metal roofs can withstand winds up to 120 mph when properly installed. Impact-resistant metal shingles can survive softball-sized hail that would total an asphalt roof. Metal's reflective properties reduce cooling costs significantly during Lubbock's brutal summers. And with minimal maintenance, metal roofs can last 50+ years - often outlasting the building itself.
Metal roofing options: Standing seam metal roofing (the gold standard for commercial and upscale residential), stone-coated metal shingles that look like traditional roofing, corrugated metal panels perfect for agricultural buildings, and commercial metal roofing systems with advanced coatings. All backed by industry-leading warranties and our expert installation guarantee.
Discover Metal Roofing in Lubbock →Free Roof Inspections
In Lubbock's severe weather environment, waiting for a leak to discover roof damage is costly. Hail impacts that seem minor can compromise your roof's integrity, leading to failures months or years later. Wind can lift shingles without you noticing from ground level. UV degradation happens gradually until suddenly your roof is failing prematurely.
Our free roof inspections throughout Lubbock use advanced technology including drone photography to spot damage invisible from the ground, infrared imaging to detect hidden moisture infiltration, and professional documentation that meets insurance company standards. We'll check for hail damage from recent storms, wind damage to shingles and flashing, proper attic ventilation (critical in Lubbock's extreme heat), and overall condition assessment with remaining lifespan estimates.
Inspection includes: Complete roof surface assessment, attic ventilation and insulation check, shingle condition and granule loss analysis, flashing and penetration inspection, gutter evaluation, and detailed photo report you can share with insurance companies. 100% free, no obligation, no pressure sales tactics.

Water damage compounds rapidly - what starts as a small leak can cause thousands in interior damage within hours. We provide emergency tarping, temporary leak repairs, storm damage assessment, and same-day solutions to protect your property until permanent repairs can be completed.

24/7 Emergency Services →Understanding Lubbock's Unique Roofing Challenges
🌪️ Severe Hail in "Hail Alley"
Lubbock's location in the heart of "Hail Alley" means frequent, severe hail events. The South Plains region sees warm, moist Gulf air colliding with cooler, dry air from the Rockies - creating perfect conditions for supercell thunderstorms and large hail. In the past 12 months alone, Lubbock has had 273 hail reports. Recent devastating events include the May 2024 storm with record-breaking hailstones near Whiteface (west of Levelland), and the June 2023 event producing 4-inch softball-sized hail near Woodrow. Even quarter-sized hail can cause significant granule loss on standard asphalt shingles, leading to premature aging, compromised water resistance, and eventual leaks. Golf ball to baseball-sized hail - common in Lubbock - can total a roof in minutes.
💨 Relentless High Winds
Lubbock ranks among America's windiest cities with sustained winds averaging 12+ mph year-round and frequent gusts exceeding 50 mph. The flat South Plains topography provides zero wind breaks, allowing unobstructed airflow across the region. These persistent winds create constant uplift pressure on roofing materials, testing shingle adhesion and flashing integrity daily. Improperly installed shingles or materials not rated for high winds will fail prematurely. Wind can also drive rain horizontally under shingles and around flashing - a unique challenge requiring expert installation techniques and premium materials with enhanced wind ratings.
🌡️ Extreme Temperature Swings
Lubbock's continental climate produces some of Texas' most extreme temperature variations. Summer days routinely exceed 100°F with roof surface temperatures reaching 160°F+. Winter nights can plunge below zero. These 120+ degree annual temperature swings cause continuous expansion and contraction in roofing materials - flexing, stressing, and eventually cracking shingles, sealants, and flashing. Lubbock can experience 40-50 degree temperature drops within 24 hours as cold fronts sweep through. This thermal cycling accelerates wear dramatically compared to moderate climates. Materials must be specifically rated for extreme temperature performance to survive Lubbock's climate.
☀️ Intense UV Radiation
At 3,256 feet elevation with over 260 days of sunshine annually, Lubbock roofs face UV exposure more intense than coastal Texas cities. UV radiation breaks down the petroleum-based compounds in asphalt shingles, causing brittleness, cracking, and accelerated granule loss. This is why standard shingles rated for 25-30 year lifespans often fail in 15-20 years in Lubbock. The solution: UV-stabilized shingles with enhanced granule adhesion and Class 4 impact-resistant materials designed specifically for harsh UV environments. These premium products cost slightly more upfront but last significantly longer in Lubbock's punishing sun.
🌪️ South Plains Dust Storms
The South Plains is notorious for dust storms that can reduce visibility to near zero and sandblast exposed surfaces with fine particulates. While less damaging than hail, persistent dust accumulation clogs gutters and valleys, traps moisture against roofing materials, and can accelerate wear on protective coatings. Dust in gutters creates weight and drainage issues, leading to overflow during Lubbock's occasional heavy rains. Proper gutter guards and regular maintenance are essential for Lubbock properties - something we emphasize with all our installations.
