An automated weather station four miles from Waxahachie recorded a 105 mph gust on 26 December 2015 — a measurement, not an estimate. Edge and corner attachment on a low-slope roof is not a detail in Ellis County.

Mechanically attached and fully adhered systems with attachment engineered to Waxahachie's adopted 115 mph three-second gust. Perimeter and corner enhancement is where a low-slope roof holds or peels, and it is the first thing a cheap bid thins out.
Two- and three-ply mod bit and traditional BUR — torch, cold-adhered and self-adhered, with a written hot-work plan and fire watch on any torch application over an occupied building.
Silicone and acrylic restoration where cores confirm the membrane is sound and the insulation dry. Where they come back wet we will tell you a coating is the wrong product even though it is the easier sale.
Cores, moisture mapping and a documented condition report. Nothing about a commercial re-roof can be priced honestly without knowing how many layers are up there, what the insulation is, and whether it is wet.
Scheduled inspection with documented condition reports, drains and scuppers cleared before the spring storm window, and response into Ellis County from our Garland yard.
Remaining-service-life estimate and a repair-versus-replace recommendation with defensible numbers — including the version where the answer is that the roof has years left.
Layers, insulation condition and deck type. A commercial bid produced without cores is a guess, and the gap between the guess and reality arrives later as a change order.
Ordinance 3505, passed 20 May 2024, adopted the 2021 International Codes and the 2020 NEC effective 1 June 2024, with the NCTCOG regional amendments. The adopted design wind speed is 115 mph three-second gust and ice barrier underlayment is not required.
Waxahachie's re-roof permit fee sits in Chapter 11 of the Code of Ordinances and is not publicly readable. Rather than print a number that may be wrong on your invoice, we confirm the current charge with Building and Community Services and submit through the city's CSS portal.
Building stays open, every section opened dried in before the day ends, and a photographic record of deck, insulation, attachment, flashing and finished field handed over with the warranty registration.
The default for Waxahachie low-slope replacement. Reflective, mechanically attached or fully adhered, with attachment engineered to the adopted 115 mph.
Two- and three-ply systems that take rooftop foot traffic far better than single-ply — the right answer across Waxahachie's older downtown commercial and the industrial corridor along I-35E.
Service life extended without a tear-off where cores come back dry. Genuinely right on some buildings and genuinely wrong on others — the cores decide, not preference.
Written, on our installation, separate from the manufacturer's system warranty. Our building has not moved 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 storm window.

The 2021 International Codes plus the 2020 National Electrical Code, adopted by Ordinance 3505 passed 20 May 2024 and effective 1 June 2024, with the NCTCOG regional amendments. The 2021 International Fire Code came in separately under Ordinance 3506 the same day. It is one of the cleanest code citations in the region — ordinance number, passage date and effective date all published.
115 mph three-second gust, 76 mph fastest mile, from the NCTCOG regional fill-in of Table R301.2(1) that Waxahachie adopted. Ice barrier underlayment is answered No. Ground snow load 5 psf, seismic category A, frost line 6 inches.
We confirm it with the city rather than publishing a figure. Waxahachie's fee schedule sits in Chapter 11, Section 11-1 of the Code of Ordinances, and that document is not publicly readable through any route we could access. Rather than print a number that turns out wrong on your invoice, we get the current charge from Building and Community Services. Permits are submitted through the city's CSS online portal.
Because everything about the price depends on what is under the membrane, and none of it is visible from the surface. Cores establish how many layers exist, what the insulation is, whether it is wet, and what the deck is made of. A commercial bid produced without them is a guess that arrives later as a change order.
Where the membrane is sound and the cores come back dry, yes — service life extended without a tear-off and with minimal disruption to your tenants. Where the insulation is wet, a coating traps the water and converts a roof problem into a deck problem in a few years. Cores decide, not preference.
Better documented than most. An automated weather station at Midlothian Airport — shared with Waxahachie and 4.8 miles out — recorded a 105 mph gust on 26 December 2015 as a tornado was beginning. That is an instrument measurement rather than an estimate. On 11 April 2011 an 81 mph gust was measured in Waxahachie itself, and a trained spotter logged 3.75-inch hail 2.1 miles from town.
We confirm with the city rather than publishing a window. Waxahachie's noise chapter could not be retrieved through any route we could access, so we will not state construction hours we cannot source. We settle it before scheduling.
Yes, and Waxahachie's downtown carries its own design framework — the Downtown Waxahachie Design Guidelines, adopted in 2011 to evaluate new construction, redevelopment and restoration in the downtown district. On a visible roof in that district we confirm the review requirement before anything is ordered.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
