Ward County's Trusted Roofing Contractor for Oil Field & Residential Properties
Your Trusted Roofing Partner in Monahans, Texas
Monahans, located in Ward County with approximately 8,000 residents, is a Permian Basin community known for Monahans Sandhills State Park and a robust oil and gas economy. Situated along I-20 between Odessa and Pecos, Monahans serves as a service hub for the surrounding oil field operations. 5 Star Commercial Roofing provides comprehensive roofing services throughout Monahans and Ward County.
The Permian Basin oil boom has brought growth and investment to Monahans, with new residential developments, commercial facilities, and oilfield infrastructure expanding the city's footprint. The iconic Monahans Sandhills State Park, featuring towering sand dunes up to 70 feet high, draws visitors from across Texas, while the oil and gas sector provides the economic backbone for Ward County. Both residential and commercial properties in Monahans require roofing systems engineered for one of Texas's most extreme climates.
Monahans endures some of the harshest weather in West Texas. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 105 degrees, making it one of the hottest cities in the state. Roof surface temperatures can reach 170 degrees or higher, placing extreme stress on all roofing materials. The desert climate brings intense UV radiation, windblown sand from the surrounding dune fields, and occasional severe thunderstorms with damaging hail. Low humidity accelerates the drying and cracking of petroleum-based roofing products. Winter brings its own challenges with rapid temperature drops of 40 degrees or more when blue northers sweep through. These conditions demand premium, heat-rated materials and expert installation techniques.

Roofing Challenges in Monahans & Ward County
Extreme Heat & UV Exposure
Monahans is one of the hottest cities in Texas, with summer highs regularly exceeding 105 degrees. Roof surface temperatures can reach 170 degrees, causing asphalt shingles to soften, blister, and lose granules prematurely. UV radiation at Monahans's low humidity and desert elevation is especially intense, breaking down petroleum-based compounds in roofing materials much faster than in more humid climates. Reflective metal roofing and white membrane systems are particularly effective for reducing cooling costs and extending roof life in Monahans.
Sandhills Sand Abrasion
The proximity of Monahans Sandhills State Park means windblown sand is a constant presence. Fine sand particles can sandblast exposed roofing surfaces, erode protective coatings, accumulate in gutters and valleys, and infiltrate beneath shingle edges. Regular maintenance and gutter cleaning are essential for Monahans properties. Roofing systems with smooth, sealed surfaces like standing seam metal and welded membrane systems resist sand infiltration better than traditional shingle products.
Oil Field Facility Roofing
Ward County's oil and gas operations include pump stations, compressor facilities, pipe yards, and maintenance shops that require specialized roofing. Chemical-resistant PVC membranes protect against oil mist and hydrocarbon exposure. Heavy-gauge metal roofing handles the vibration from nearby equipment. We understand the safety requirements, access protocols, and scheduling constraints that oil field roofing projects demand.

Monahans Sandhills & Tourism
Monahans Sandhills State Park features sand dunes reaching 70 feet high, covering 3,840 acres of Shin Oak sand dunes. The park draws visitors year-round for sand surfing, hiking, and camping, supporting local hotels, restaurants, and retail businesses along I-20. These tourism-dependent commercial properties need roofing that withstands the constant sand exposure unique to Monahans -- a challenge no other city in our service area faces.
I-20 Corridor & Oil Economy
Monahans sits on I-20 between Odessa (40 miles east) and Pecos (30 miles west), serving as a critical logistics point for Permian Basin oil operations. The corridor features truck stops, equipment yards, industrial facilities, and commercial developments that require heavy-duty roofing.
