Commercial Roofing in Kerrville, TX
Commercial Roofing
Total Foundation & Roofing provides commercial roofing for businesses in Kerrville, Texas and across Kerr County — including Kerrville, Comfort and Fredericksburg. We work on TPO, modified bitumen, built-up and standing seam metal systems, on retail, office, warehouse, multi-family and light industrial buildings.
Commercial roofing runs on a different clock to residential. A failing roof over a business is not just a repair bill — it is inventory, equipment, tenants and trading hours. That is why we schedule around your operating times, work weekends where it avoids disruption, and give you a written scope before anyone gets on the roof rather than after.
Kerr County sits inside the county warning area of the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio forecast office. Long summers of direct UV and periodic hail are what age low-slope commercial roofs here, and both are gradual until they are not — which is the case for inspection and maintenance rather than waiting for a leak. As a licensed roofing contractor based in Kerrville, we are twenty minutes from most commercial property in the county.

Our Services
We take a customized approach to every property, beginning with a detailed inspection.
Our Commercial Roofing Services
We provide complete roofing support for commercial, multi-family and light industrial property in Kerr County.
- Commercial roof inspections. We evaluate flashing, membrane condition, seams, penetrations and drainage, and give you a written report with photographs. Where a leak is already active we use roof leak detection to find the entry point before opening anything up. On a school in Fredericksburg we identified failing seams that were letting water in, early enough that repairs stayed minor instead of turning into a replacement.
- Commercial roof repair. From membrane punctures and seam failures to storm damage and general roof repair, repaired in a way that keeps your warranty and code compliance intact. When a manufacturing facility in Comfort needed urgent repairs after a hailstorm, we were on site the same day and production kept running.
- Commercial roof replacement. Full tear-off and replacement in TPO, modified bitumen, built-up or standing seam metal. See also roof replacement. A strip mall in Fredericksburg went to TPO, which cut cooling load and gave the tenants a roof that stops being a recurring complaint.
- New construction and roof installation. We work with developers and general contractors on new commercial builds. An office complex in Kerrville came in two weeks ahead of schedule with no change orders.
- Emergency commercial roof repair. Active leaks contained the same visit so water stays out of ceilings, stock and equipment. See emergency roof repair.
Commercial Roof Maintenance Plans in Kerrville
Most commercial roofs in Kerr County do not fail suddenly. They fail because a seam opened up two summers ago, or a drain blocked, or a fastener backed out and nobody was on the roof to see it. Maintenance is the difference between a $2,000 repair and a $60,000 replacement, and it is the single most cost-effective thing a commercial property owner can do.
A maintenance plan with us covers:
- Scheduled inspections with a written report and photographs after each visit
- Clearing drains, scuppers and gutters before the season they matter
- Resealing penetrations, flashing and seams before they open
- Documented roof history, which matters when you file an insurance claim or sell the building
- Priority response if something does go wrong
Plans are built around the building rather than sold off a shelf — a single-tenant warehouse and a multi-tenant strip centre need different intervals. We cover commercial property across Kerrville and Kerr County. Ask us for a maintenance quote.
Why Choose Total Foundation & Roofing
- Kerrville-based, not regional. Our office is on Sidney Baker Street. When a commercial roof fails, response time is the whole game, and we are not driving up from San Antonio.
- Scheduled around your operating hours. Weekend and off-hour work where it avoids disrupting staff, customers or tenants. We agree the schedule before the job, not during it.
- Licensed, insured and manufacturer-certified for both low-slope and sloped systems, so warranty coverage survives the installation.
- Written scopes and documented work. Photographs of what we found, a written scope before work starts, and post-project inspection reports you can hand to an insurer or a buyer.
- Roofing, foundation and concrete under one contract. We also provide foundation repair and concrete contracting — useful on a commercial property where the slab and the roof are both ageing, and it means one schedule instead of two contractors.
- Maintenance plans and transferable warranties. Ongoing value rather than a one-off invoice.

What They’re Saying About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best commercial roofing material for Kerrville?
For low-slope commercial roofs in Kerr County, TPO is usually the right answer. Its reflective surface handles the UV load through a Hill Country summer and it holds up to hail better than an ageing built-up roof. Modified bitumen suits buildings with heavy foot traffic on the roof, and standing seam metal makes sense where the pitch allows it and the owner wants forty years rather than twenty. The building decides, not the brochure — which is why we start with a roof inspection rather than a quote.
What is considered commercial roofing?
Commercial roofing generally means low-slope or flat roof systems on non-residential buildings — retail, office, warehouse, industrial, churches, schools and multi-family. The distinction is the roof system rather than the business: a low-slope TPO or modified bitumen roof needs different materials, drainage design and installation methods than a pitched residential shingle roof. Some commercial buildings do have pitched roofs, and we handle those too.
How much does commercial roof replacement cost?
Commercial roof replacement is priced by square footage, the system you choose, roof access, the number of penetrations and how much decking or insulation needs replacing once the old roof is off. The variable that catches owners out is usually access — a roof you can only reach by crane costs differently to one with stair access. We measure on site and give you a written figure rather than a range over the phone.
Do you offer commercial roof maintenance plans?
Yes. Scheduled inspections, drain and gutter clearing, resealing penetrations and seams, and a written report with photographs after each visit. Plans suit multi-unit buildings particularly well — apartment complexes, shopping centers and clinics. The documented roof history matters as much as the maintenance itself: it is what supports an insurance claim and what a buyer’s surveyor asks for. Plans are built around the building and its use rather than sold as a fixed package. Ask us for a maintenance quote.
Can you work on historic commercial buildings?
Yes. Kerrville has a good deal of older commercial building stock, particularly around the downtown streets, and those roofs bring their own problems: parapet walls, original drainage that was never designed for modern rainfall intensity, and framing built to older load standards. We work on them regularly and will tell you where a like-for-like repair is possible and where it is not.
Do you handle commercial storm damage and insurance claims?
Yes. Our storm damage repair team inspects the full roof area, photographs and documents hail bruising, wind damage, displaced flashing and membrane damage, and provides a written scope you can submit with a claim. We can be on site during the adjuster’s inspection so nothing is missed, which on a commercial roof usually makes a material difference to what gets covered.
How often should I schedule a commercial roof inspection?
For businesses in Texas Hill Country, we recommend semi-annual roof inspections, ideally in spring and fall. This helps catch issues from seasonal weather changes and prevents costly repairs. Our roof inspection services include detailed assessments and digital documentation.
How long does a commercial roof replacement take?
For a typical single-storey commercial building in Kerrville, a straightforward TPO replacement usually runs several days to a couple of weeks depending on square footage, weather and how much decking needs attention. We phase the work so the building stays weather-tight overnight and stays open for business throughout. You get the schedule in writing before we start.
Do you need a permit for commercial roofing in Kerrville?
Inside Kerrville city limits, commercial roofing work requires a permit and the contractor is responsible for pulling it. The City of Kerrville Building Inspection Division requires permits for most projects unless they are very minimal in nature, and responsibility for meeting city codes and ordinances falls on both the contractor and the property owner. Requirements are published on the City of Kerrville building permit page. Outside city limits in unincorporated Kerr County the requirements differ, and we confirm which applies before work begins.
