What we roof on an apartment property
| Area | Typical roof | Common issue |
|---|---|---|
| Residential buildings | Steep-slope shingles, sometimes mansards | Hail, wind, worn valleys and pipe boots |
| Breezeways and stair towers | Small flat or low-slope roofs | Ponding and leaks into stairwells |
| Clubhouse, leasing office, fitness | Shingle, metal or flat | Mixed systems, rooftop units |
| Carports and garages | Metal panels | Loose fasteners and hail dents; see exposed-fastener roofs |
Phasing a Denton apartment re-roof
- Every building inspected and ranked; one photo report for the owner and asset manager. Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see.
- Schedule built with the property manager, avoiding the late-summer move-in rush and finals weeks where student renters are involved
- Resident notices 48 hours ahead of each building, with the parking plan
- One building torn off and dried in at a time; magnets for nails and daily cleanup
- Final photos for every building, for your file and your lender or insurer
Leak response
Breezeway and stair-tower leaks become resident complaints fast. We offer same-day response in almost every case, and we answer leak and storm calls 24/7 at (817) 733-9228. We walk the roof, fly a drone for photos of areas that are hard to reach safely, and run drone thermal (infrared) scans that help show where water has gotten under the surface.
Permits, code and claims
The City of Denton adopted the 2021 International Building Code for permits applied for on or after June 1, 2022 (Ordinance 22-660, with local amendments). Its commercial roofing page says a permit is required for any roof work. The submittal is a commercial application, the manufacturer's specifications for the roof system and insulation, and a roof plan showing the length of all four sides of the building. Inspections are a roof-decking inspection where it applies and a roof final, scheduled through the city's eTRAKiT system. Contractors register with the city before pulling permits. Under the 2021 IBC reroofing rules both cities have adopted, a new roof generally can't be laid over an existing roof that is water-soaked or deteriorated, or over one that already has two or more layers. A moisture survey tells us which applies.

Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. NOAA lists 40 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Denton from 2016 through September 2026. A report shows where hail was seen, not whether a given roof was damaged.
One storm can damage every building on a property. We document each building separately so the claim isn't one vague number. We document the damage with photos and measurements and can be on the roof when your adjuster inspects. We don't adjust or negotiate claims; you work the claim with your insurance company. Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, and we never waive or rebate it. In Texas you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to file; check your policy.
We're certified with GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Atlas, Johns Manville, Carlisle, Tropical Roofing Products, Mule-Hide and Enviroshake, and many other roof manufacturers. Both 10-year and 20-year manufacturer NDL (no-dollar-limit) warranties are available on commercial jobs. The price depends on which term you choose, and the manufacturer issues an NDL warranty only after its own inspection.
