Pampa Roofing Contractor — Oilfield & Downtown Specialists
Quick Summary
5 Star Roofing provides full roofing services in Pampa TX — residential and commercial repairs, roof replacement, and hail damage documentation for Gray County properties.
Pampa Roofing for Oil-Patch and Home
Pampa, the Gray County seat with approximately 16,800 residents, sits roughly 55 miles northeast of Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle. The city was founded in 1902 and grew into an industrial center after the Worley-Reynolds #1 oil well launched the local oil boom. Pampa is also known as the hometown of folk musician Woody Guthrie. 5 Star Commercial Roofing provides comprehensive roofing services throughout Pampa, Gray County, and the surrounding Panhandle.
Pampa's economy is anchored by petrochemical and carbon black manufacturing, oil and gas operations, and agriculture. Major industrial employers including Celanese Corporation and Cabot Corporation have operated facilities here for decades. These industrial properties — along with oilfield service yards, the county courthouse, and the Clarendon College Pampa Center — require specialized commercial roofing, from chemical-resistant TPO membrane systems on flat-roof plants to heavy-gauge metal roofing on warehouses and equipment buildings.
Panhandle weather hits Pampa hard. Gray County sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country, and between March and September supercell storms produce damaging hail, straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, and occasional tornadoes. Summer temperatures regularly climb past 100 degrees while winter overnight lows drop well below freezing, putting roofing materials through severe expansion and contraction cycles. These conditions demand expert installation and premium materials rated for extreme Panhandle weather.

Hail & Wind Events in Pampa
Spring & Summer Supercell Season
Gray County sits squarely in Hail Alley, the corridor stretching across the Texas Panhandle into the southern plains. Between March and September, warm Gulf moisture meeting dry Panhandle air fuels supercell thunderstorms along the dryline that regularly produce golf-ball to baseball-sized hail. Pampa typically sees multiple damaging hail events each storm season, which is why Class 4 impact-rated asphalt shingles and standing seam metal are the right call for most local roofs.
Straight-Line Wind Damage
Open Panhandle terrain offers little wind break, and Pampa regularly sees sustained winds above 50 mph and gusts exceeding 70 mph during spring storm outbreaks. Straight-line winds strip shingles, peel metal panels at the seams, and load up wind-damaged roofs that may not show obvious damage from the ground.
Winter Freeze & Thaw Cycles
Pampa winters drop well below freezing while summer roof surface temperatures routinely top 150 degrees. That severe expansion-and-contraction cycle accelerates shingle cracking, opens up flashing seams, and shortens the service life of any roof installed with lower-spec materials or shortcut details.

Roofing Challenges in Pampa & Gray County
Panhandle Hail Corridor
Pampa's location in the Texas Panhandle puts it in one of the country's most active hail zones. Spring and summer supercells produce large hail and damaging winds capable of totaling a roof in a single event. Class 4 impact-resistant materials are strongly recommended for all Pampa properties, and most insurance carriers offer premium discounts for upgrading.
Chemical Plant & Industrial Roofing
Pampa's industrial base — including Celanese Corporation, Cabot Corporation, and oilfield service operations — means numerous commercial and industrial facilities that need specialized roofing. Chemical-resistant TPO and PVC membranes, heavy-duty metal roofing, and systems engineered for high-traffic roof access and emissions exposure are the norm for these properties.
Wind, Heat & Temperature Swings
Pampa summers regularly push past 100 degrees with roof surface temperatures reaching 160 degrees or higher, while winters drop well below freezing. Combined with high winds and intense UV, these conditions accelerate the breakdown of lower-spec roofing materials. Reflective TPO, metal, and Class 4 shingle systems provide superior durability and lower cooling costs.
Historic Downtown Buildings
Main Street and the courthouse area in Pampa include brick and masonry buildings dating to the 1920s oil-boom era, when the Panhandle field opened nearby. Many need shop-fabricated metal flashings and built-up roofing or modified-bitumen systems that protect the structure without changing the streetscape. We work alongside city historic-district guidelines and current Gray County building code.
Pampa: Industrial Heart of the Panhandle
City Profile & History
Pampa was founded in 1902 and incorporated in 1912, taking its name from the Quechua word for "plain." The local economy transformed from agriculture to industry after the Worley-Reynolds #1 oil well launched the Panhandle oil boom in the 1920s. The city is also known as the hometown of folk-music icon Woody Guthrie. Pampa serves as the seat of Gray County and is a commercial hub for surrounding Panhandle communities.
Major Employers & Institutions
Pampa's industrial base is anchored by Celanese Corporation (petrochemicals) and Cabot Corporation (carbon black, operating in Pampa since 1927), alongside multiple oil and gas operators and oilfield service companies. The Gray County Courthouse, county offices, and Clarendon College Pampa Center provide institutional anchors. Each of these property types has distinct commercial roofing requirements.
