The repair-or-replace question, row by row
| What we find | What we usually recommend |
|---|---|
| Panels sound, leaks at screws, laps and trim | Re-screw with new fasteners and seal laps and trim |
| Panels sound but the finish is chalking or lightly rusted | Restoration coating over repaired fasteners and laps |
| Panels rusted through or badly hail-damaged | Retrofit over the old roof or new panels formed to length |
| Long runs with leaking end laps | Replace those runs with one-piece panels |
| Office or climate-controlled building with a flat roof | Seam and flashing repair, coating, or new TPO |
We price the options for each building side by side, so you can repair one row this year and re-roof another next year. Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see.

Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database, Wise County, TX. NOAA lists 76 reports of 1.75-inch or larger hail in Wise County since January 2005. A report shows where hail was seen, not whether a given roof was damaged.
Hail damage on storage roofs shows up as cracked light panels, broken finish at dents, and loosened laps and trim across every row. We document each building separately. 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.
Built for long rows
- Panels formed to each run's measured length, so most runs have no end laps
- PBR with the purlin-bearing leg for open framing, or standing seam for low slopes
- Foam closures at eaves and ridges to keep out wind-driven rain, birds and wasps
- Gutters sized for long runs so water doesn't pour at unit doors
Working around tenants
We plan around gate hours and move-in days, keep drive aisles open and stage equipment at building ends. The City of Decatur's fee schedule (Ordinance 2025-09-33, effective November 1, 2025) lists a separate re-roofing permit for multifamily and non-residential buildings, so plan for it in the schedule.
