McKinney requires a permit on every roofing project with no threshold at all — and registers no roofing contractors whatsoever. The city's own packet warns that anyone can claim to be one.
Roof Experts is the commercial roofing partner McKinney TX property owners trust. We bring DFW-quality crews and materials to every McKinney project — TPO, EPDM, metal systems, and asphalt shingles. Free inspections, transparent pricing, workmanship warranties. Need an estimate? Call Roof Experts at (469) 936-7663 or request your free roof inspection online.
Mechanically attached and fully adhered systems, with attachment engineered to McKinney's adopted 105 mph under the 2024 code family rather than to a generic detail. Perimeter and corner enhancement is where a low-slope roof holds or peels.
Two- and three-ply mod bit and traditional BUR — torch, cold-adhered and self-adhered. McKinney's older commercial core around the square holds a great deal of bituminous roofing that can be handled intelligently rather than torn off by default.
McKinney permits a re-cover over a single existing layer. Two coverings already on the deck means a full tear-off. On commercial work the core samples establish which situation you are actually in before anything is priced.
Silicone and acrylic restoration where the membrane is sound and the insulation is dry, confirmed by core sample. Where the cores come back wet we will tell you a coating is the wrong product even though it is the easier sale.
Scheduled inspection with a documented condition report, drains and scuppers cleared ahead of the March-to-May window, and rapid leak response up 75 from our Garland yard.
Cores, moisture mapping, remaining-service-life estimate and a repair-versus-replace recommendation you can defend in a budget meeting — including the version where the roof has years left.
Layers, insulation condition and deck type. Nothing on a commercial re-roof can be priced honestly without them, and it is also how we establish whether McKinney's one-layer re-cover allowance applies to your building or whether it is a tear-off.
McKinney's rule is unqualified: permits are required for all roofing projects, with no square-footage minimum and no percentage threshold. The fee is a $200 flat charge. A contractor telling you a small commercial repair here needs no permit is simply wrong.
Sequenced so the building stays open, every section opened is dried in before the day ends, staging agreed in advance, and a written hot-work plan with a fire watch on any torch or hot-air application.
Photographic record of the deck, insulation, attachment, flashing and finished field, inspection signed off, warranty registered. In a city with no contractor registration, your documentation is the only permanent record of who did what.
The default for McKinney low-slope replacement. Reflective, which matters across a large roof area in a Texas summer, in mechanically attached or fully adhered systems with manufacturer warranties past twenty years.
Two- and three-ply systems that take rooftop foot traffic far better than single-ply — the right answer where mechanical service access is constant, which describes most of McKinney's retail and office stock.
Service life extended without a tear-off where cores confirm the membrane is sound and the insulation is dry. Genuinely right on some buildings, genuinely wrong on others — the cores decide, not preference.
Written, on our installation, separate from the manufacturer's system warranty. In a city that registers no roofers, the durability of the company behind the warranty is the whole point — ours has run from the same building since 2019.
Available on qualifying single-ply and modified bitumen systems, subject to manufacturer inspection and installation to the published specification.
Drains, laps, terminations and penetrations checked before the next spring window — March through May carries roughly three quarters of Collin County's hail.

No. McKinney requires no contractor registration for roofers at all, and Texas has no state roofing licence. The city's own homeowner packet states plainly that anyone can claim to be a roofing contractor. On a commercial building that puts the entire screening burden on you — so verify insurance directly with the carrier, verify manufacturer certifications with the manufacturer, and ask for a physical business address you could actually drive to.
Yes, always. McKinney's rule is unqualified: permits are required for all roofing projects, with no square-footage minimum and no percentage-of-area threshold. The fee is a $200 flat charge. If a contractor tells you a small commercial repair here does not need a permit, they are mistaken.
Only over a single existing layer — McKinney permits a re-cover over one layer, and where two coverings are already on the deck a full tear-off is required. Core samples establish which situation your building is in. Independent of the rule, a re-cover conceals the deck from you and from the inspector, so we recommend tear-off in most cases anyway.
The 2024 code family, effective 1 October 2025, which adopts the NCTCOG March 2025 regional amendments by reference under Code Section 122-26. The adopted design wind speed is 105 mph.
Because everything about the price depends on what is under the membrane and none of it is visible from the surface. Cores tell us how many layers exist, what the insulation is, whether it is wet, and what the deck is made of — and in McKinney they also establish whether the one-layer re-cover allowance applies. A bid produced without cores is a guess.
Where the membrane is sound and the cores come back dry, a silicone or acrylic restoration extends service life without a tear-off and with minimal disruption to your tenants. Where the insulation is wet, a coating traps the water and turns a roof problem into a deck problem in a few years. We establish which with cores before recommending anything.
Collin County logged 65 hail days between 2015 and 2025, with 17 of those producing hail two inches or larger — nearly double Dallas County's large-hail count on almost identical overall frequency. Roughly three quarters falls March to May, and there has never been a July hail report in the county in eleven years of record.
That is most of what commercial phasing is. We sequence so the building stays open, dry in every section we open before the day ends, agree staging in advance rather than negotiating it in your service drive, and run a written hot-work plan with a fire watch on any torch or hot-air work.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
