M&M Roofing, Siding & Windows has provided commercial roofing services in Houston, Texas since 1983, completing over 100,000 roofing projects across the Gulf Coast. They offer full commercial roofing services, including installation, replacement, repair, maintenance, and coating systems for flat, TPO, metal, modified bitumen, and EPDM systems, backed by a lifetime labor warranty. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, M&M brings factory-certified installation to every Houston commercial project.
Houston’s commercial roofs face some of the most punishing conditions in North America. A hundred degrees of summer heat. Intense Gulf Coast UV. Fifty inches of rain per year. And every hurricane season, the threat of wind loads that test every fastener, seam, and flashing on your building.
The roof over your business isn’t just a building component. It’s the first line of defense for everything inside it.
Too many Houston building owners discover their commercial roofer wasn’t up to the job only after a storm exposes the shortcuts. Cheap bids, out-of-town storm chasers, missing warranties. Those problems don’t show up on the front end. They show up when water’s coming through your ceiling at 2 a.m.
M&M Roofing has been protecting Houston commercial buildings since 1983. The team was here for Hurricane Alicia, Tropical Storm Allison, Hurricane Ike, and Hurricane Harvey. That institutional knowledge of how Gulf Coast weather affects commercial roofs over decades isn’t something a national chain or a fly-by-night crew can replicate. It’s earned, project by project, storm by storm.
What Commercial Roofing Services Does M&M Offer in Houston?
M&M Roofing handles every phase of commercial roofing for Houston building owners. Whether you’re planning a new build, replacing an aging system, dealing with an active leak, or looking to extend your roof’s service life without a full tear-off, M&M has the crew and the certifications to handle it.
Commercial Roof Installation (New Construction)
New commercial flat and low-slope roof systems for Houston office buildings, warehouses, retail centers, churches, multifamily complexes, and light industrial facilities. M&M installs TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen (APP torch-down and SBS self-adhered), commercial metal, and built-up roofing (BUR) systems.
Every new installation is spec’d to Gulf Coast building codes. That means wind-rated attachment systems designed for hurricane exposure, proper insulation for Texas energy code compliance, and permit-ready documentation before the crew ever sets foot on your roof.

Commercial Roof Replacement
Full tear-off and replacement of aging, storm-damaged, or end-of-life commercial roofing systems. Before recommending tear-off, M&M evaluates whether re-roofing (overlay) is viable. Overlay avoids the $1.50–$3.00/sq ft tear-off cost, but it only works on structurally sound, dry substrates. If the existing system has saturated insulation or multiple failure points, full tear-off is the right call. M&M gives you the honest assessment, not the easier sell.
Typical installed cost ranges from $5–$15/sq ft, depending on system type, roof complexity, and insulation requirements.
Commercial Roof Repair
Leak investigation and repair for all flat and low-slope commercial systems: TPO, modified bitumen, EPDM, metal, and built-up roofing. M&M’s repair work covers storm damage, hail punctures, wind-lifted flashings, failed seams, and ponding water corrections.
One detail that matters specifically in Houston: flat roofs and heavy rainfall are a bad combination when drainage is undersized or blocked. Standing water accelerates membrane failure faster than almost anything else. M&M’s repair team identifies and corrects drainage problems, not just the visible symptom.
For emergency calls received before noon, M&M offers same-day inspections. Commercial roof leaking right now? Call M&M for a same-day inspection.
Commercial Roof Maintenance and Inspections
Scheduled maintenance programs to extend roof life, protect manufacturer warranty compliance, and catch problems before they become expensive. M&M offers annual and bi-annual inspection plans with written reports.
Two inspections matter most in Houston: pre-hurricane season (May or early June, before the June 1 season start) and post-storm assessments after significant weather events. The pre-season inspection identifies vulnerabilities before they’re tested. The post-storm assessment documents damage in a format insurance adjusters accept, which matters when you’re filing a claim.
Commercial Roof Coatings and Restoration
Elastomeric and silicone coating systems can extend an aging commercial roof’s service life by 10–20 years without a full tear-off. That’s a significant cost difference. Coatings also add reflective properties that reduce rooftop surface temperatures, which cuts commercial HVAC load in Houston’s 100°F summers.
One important note: coatings only work on structurally sound roofs. If the substrate has failed or the insulation is saturated, a coating is money wasted. M&M inspects before recommending. If the roof qualifies, a coating is often the smartest financial play. If it doesn’t, you’ll know that before you spend a dollar.
Houston’s Climate Demands More From Commercial Roofing
This is the part that matters most for a Houston building owner. The Gulf Coast is not a forgiving environment for commercial roofing. It’s not enough to install a technically correct system. The system has to be specified for what Houston actually does to roofs.
Here’s what forty years of Gulf Coast commercial roofing has taught M&M’s team.
Flat roofs and Houston rainfall. Houston averages 50+ inches of rain per year, more than Seattle [1]. Most of it falls fast, in intense events. Flat commercial roofs with inadequate drainage develop ponding water that shortens membrane life, saturates insulation, and eventually penetrates the interior. Proper drain placement, slope correction, and membrane selection (silicone coatings are specifically recommended for ponding-prone roofs) are essential specifications, not optional upgrades.
Hurricane and high-wind uplift. The Texas Gulf Coast faces multiple named storm threats each season. The difference between a roof that survives a Category 2 landfall and one that doesn’t comes down to attachment. Fully adhered membranes outperform mechanically fastened systems in high-wind events. Robust base-sheet fastening patterns, wind-rated attachment systems meeting ANSI/SPRI FM standards, and properly sealed perimeter flashings are what M&M specifies on every Gulf Coast commercial installation [2]. M&M has been installing these systems in Houston since before many of their competitors existed.
Heat and UV degradation. Houston rooftop surface temperatures exceed 160°F in summer. Cheap single-ply membranes degrade faster at these temperatures. Seams fail. Membranes thin. Leaks follow. Reflective white TPO, silicone coatings, and UV-stabilized modified bitumen cap sheets handle Houston’s UV load. Unrated materials don’t.
Humidity and moisture intrusion. Houston summers run at 90%+ humidity. Any moisture that gets under a membrane or into insulation becomes a mold problem quickly. Fully adhered systems and proper vapor management reduce intrusion risk in a way that mechanically fastened systems simply can’t match in this climate.
Hurricane Harvey context. Harvey (2017) dropped 60 inches of rain on the Houston metro, the highest total ever recorded from a U.S. hurricane [3]. Commercial buildings that had deferred maintenance, undersized drains, or poorly lapped flashing discovered every one of those vulnerabilities in the span of four days. M&M responded to hundreds of Houston commercial properties after Harvey. That experience shapes how the team inspects and specifies commercial systems today. Every inspection includes a drainage review. Every spec considers ponding risk. That’s what forty years of Gulf Coast experience looks like in practice.
What Commercial Roofing Systems Does M&M Install in Houston?
M&M installs the full range of commercial flat and low-slope systems. Here’s a quick overview of each and when it makes the most sense for Houston conditions.
TPO Roofing. The most common commercial flat roof system in Houston. White reflective membrane, heat-welded seams, excellent energy performance in Texas heat. M&M installs 60-mil and 80-mil TPO. The 80-mil spec is worth the premium on high-UV or high-traffic applications. For most Houston commercial buildings, TPO is the default recommendation.
Modified Bitumen (APP Torch-Down / SBS Self-Adhered). Multi-ply asphalt membrane with strong Houston storm performance. Multiple layers provide redundancy that single-ply systems don’t. APP modifier is preferred for Gulf Coast heat. For buildings where storm performance is the top priority or where ease of future repair matters, mod-bit is a smart choice.
EPDM Rubber Roofing. Durable single-ply rubber membrane suited for large commercial roofs where first cost is the priority. Generally less preferred in Houston vs. TPO because it lacks TPO’s reflective properties, which matter in a climate with 160°F rooftop temps. M&M evaluates EPDM for the right applications.
Commercial Metal Roofing. Standing seam and structural metal systems for commercial and light industrial buildings. Forty-plus-year lifespan. Best long-term value calculation of any commercial system. Critical spec note for Houston: wind uplift ratings must be verified for Gulf Coast installation. A metal roof installed to interior Texas specs isn’t the same thing as one installed for coastal wind exposure. Read more about commercial metal roofing systems.
Built-Up Roofing (BUR). Traditional multi-ply gravel and asphalt system. Still the right answer for Houston commercial applications where heavy foot traffic, ballast, or equipment loads are a factor. M&M evaluates BUR for appropriate applications.
Commercial Roof Coatings. Fluid-applied elastomeric and silicone systems for aging commercial roofs. Extends service life 10–20 years without tear-off. Adds reflectivity. Significantly lower cost than full replacement when the substrate qualifies. Learn about commercial flat roof systems and coatings.
| System | Installed Cost/Sq Ft | Best For | Houston Climate Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPO (60-mil) | $5–$10 | Most commercial buildings | Excellent — reflective, heat-welded seams |
| TPO (80-mil) | $7–$12 | High-UV/high-traffic applications | Excellent |
| Modified Bitumen (2-ply APP) | $4–$8 | Storm performance priority | Very Good — multi-ply redundancy |
| EPDM | $4–$8 | Large roofs, cost-priority | Good — less preferred than TPO in TX heat |
| Commercial Metal | $10–$20 | Long-term investment, 40+ yr lifespan | Excellent with proper wind ratings |
| Built-Up Roofing (BUR) | $5–$10 | Heavy traffic/ballast applications | Good |
| Roof Coating (restoration) | $2–$6 | Extending sound existing systems | Very Good — adds reflectivity |
Why Do Houston Commercial Building Owners Choose M&M Roofing?
Walk through the reasons carefully. Not as a checklist. As verifiable proof points, you can actually evaluate before signing a contract.
In Houston since 1983, before most of their competitors existed. M&M Roofing started serving Houston commercial properties the same year the Houston Rockets selected Ralph Sampson as the first pick in the NBA Draft. The team has been through Alicia, Allison, Ike, Harvey, and every Gulf Coast storm in between. That’s four decades of pattern recognition: what works on a Houston commercial roof, what fails, what specifications matter in a Category 2 landfall versus what’s marketing language. That kind of institutional knowledge isn’t something a national chain or a storm chaser crew can manufacture.
100,000+ projects completed across Texas and Louisiana. The number matters not as a marketing stat but as a measure of diagnostic depth. M&M’s team has seen what happens to TPO seams after five Houston summers, what mod-bit looks like when drainage was undersized at installation, and what good flashing looks like versus a shortcut that’ll fail in two years. That pattern recognition improves every inspection and every spec decision.
Lifetime labor warranty on new installations. Most commercial roofing contractors offer manufacturer material warranties. M&M backs their work with a lifetime labor warranty on new installations. That’s rare in commercial roofing. It also means M&M has a direct financial stake in the quality of every installation they complete.
Doug Moncure personally follows up on every project. When M&M finishes a commercial job, Doug calls. Not a project manager. Not a customer service line. Doug. For a company that has completed over 100,000 projects, that level of personal accountability is genuinely unusual. It’s also the clearest signal that M&M’s reputation is personal, not just institutional.
Same-day inspections for calls received before noon. When your commercial roof is leaking, a three-day scheduling window isn’t an option. M&M’s same-day inspection availability is an operational commitment, not a marketing promise.
GAF Master Elite certified. Fewer than 2% of roofing contractors in the U.S. hold GAF Master Elite certification. Earning it requires verified licensing, adequate insurance, a strong local reputation, and continuing education. It’s also the threshold required to offer GAF’s top-tier system warranties, the ones that cover both materials and labor.
Multi-service capability. Houston commercial buildings need more than roofing. M&M handles roofing, siding, windows, gutters, and remodeling under one roof, eliminating the coordination overhead and accountability gaps that come with managing multiple contractors on the same project.

Houston Commercial Roofing Cost — What to Expect
Commercial roofing cost in Houston varies widely based on system type, roof size, complexity, and current roof condition. The ranges below give you a working framework for budgeting. The only way to get an accurate number for your specific building is an on-site inspection.
What drives cost variation:
System type. TPO, metal, modified bitumen, and coatings each have different installed costs per sq ft.
Roof size and complexity. Number of penetrations, equipment curbs, parapets, and drains all add labor.
Tear-off requirement. If the existing system has to come off, add $1.50–$3.00/sq ft. If overlay is viable, that cost goes away.
Insulation. Texas energy codes require specific R-values for commercial roofs. Above-deck insulation adds cost but also improves energy performance.
Wind uplift spec. Fully adhered membranes cost more than mechanically fastened ones. For Gulf Coast applications, fully adhered is worth the premium.
Warranty level. Manufacturer system warranties (covering both materials and labor) require certified installers and premium materials. They add upfront cost, but they protect a significant asset.
| System | Installed Cost/Sq Ft | 10,000 Sq Ft Estimate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPO (60-mil) | $5–$10 | $50,000–$100,000 | Most common Houston commercial system |
| TPO (80-mil) | $7–$12 | $70,000–$120,000 | Recommended for high-UV/high-traffic |
| Modified Bitumen (2-ply APP) | $4–$8 | $40,000–$80,000 | Strong Gulf Coast storm performance |
| Commercial Metal | $10–$20 | $100,000–$200,000 | 40+ year lifespan; best long-term value |
| Roof Coating (restoration) | $2–$6 | $20,000–$60,000 | Extends life 10–20 yrs without tear-off |
| Full Tear-Off Add-On | +$1.50–$3.00/sq ft | +$15,000–$30,000 | If existing system must be removed |
Prices reflect current 2026 Houston area rates. Costs vary by roof complexity, site access, insulation requirements, and specification level. Contact M&M for an accurate on-site estimate.

Storm Damage to Your Commercial Roof? M&M Responds Fast
Hurricane season runs from June through November. For Houston commercial building owners, that’s six months of elevated risk. M&M’s commercial team is ready for rapid post-storm response when the weather hits.
Here’s what M&M provides for commercial storm damage:
Same-day inspections for storm damage calls received before noon. When a storm hits overnight, you need eyes on the roof the next morning, not three days later.
Emergency tarping and temporary protection to stop interior damage while the full repair or replacement is being scoped and scheduled.
Insurance documentation in adjuster-accepted format. Navigating a commercial insurance claim is different from a residential one. The documentation requirements are more detailed, the stakes are higher, and adjusters scrutinize commercial claims closely. M&M’s team knows how to document commercial storm damage in a way that supports the claim, not just the inspection. Forty years of helping Houston building owners through storm seasons means the team understands what adjusters need to see.
No-obligation assessment. Many Houston building owners don’t know whether their storm damage is covered until they get a professional evaluation. The assessment costs nothing. The documentation can be worth significantly more than that in a successful claim.
M&M has worked through every major Gulf Coast storm since 1983. Harvey alone resulted in hundreds of Houston commercial assessments. That experience is still active in every inspection the team performs today. Learn more about storm damage roof repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best commercial roofing contractor in Houston?
M&M Roofing, Siding & Windows has served Houston commercial property owners since 1983, completing over 100,000 roofing projects across the Gulf Coast. With GAF Master Elite certification, a lifetime labor warranty on new installations, and owner Doug Moncure personally following up on every completed project, M&M brings a level of accountability that most Houston commercial contractors don’t match.
How much does commercial roofing cost in Houston?
Commercial roofing in Houston typically costs $4–$20 per square foot installed, depending on the system. TPO (the most common Houston commercial membrane) runs $5–$12/sq ft. Modified bitumen costs $4–$8/sq ft. Commercial metal roofing runs $10–$20/sq ft. A 10,000 sq ft commercial TPO replacement typically costs $50,000–$120,000 depending on specification, tear-off requirements, and insulation.
What is the best roofing system for commercial buildings in Houston?
For most Houston commercial buildings, TPO is the default recommendation. Its white reflective surface handles Houston’s extreme UV and heat load, and heat-welded seams provide superior wind uplift resistance for Gulf Coast hurricane zones. Modified bitumen is preferred when multi-layer storm redundancy or ease of repair is a priority. Commercial metal offers the longest lifespan (40+ years) for buildings where upfront investment is feasible.
Does M&M Roofing handle commercial roof storm damage in Houston?
Yes. M&M Roofing provides same-day storm damage inspections for Houston commercial properties (for calls received before noon), emergency tarping and temporary protection, and detailed insurance documentation in the format commercial insurance adjusters require. M&M has extensive experience navigating commercial storm damage claims from Hurricane Harvey and prior Gulf Coast events.
How do I choose a commercial roofing contractor in Houston?
Look for: (1) verifiable local history, specifically how long they’ve been serving Houston commercial clients; (2) proper licensing and insurance for commercial work; (3) system-specific certification such as GAF Master Elite; (4) a lifetime or long-term labor warranty, not just a manufacturer materials warranty; (5) clear references from similar commercial properties in the Houston area; and (6) owner or principal accountability, meaning someone named who personally stands behind the work.
How long does a commercial roof last in Houston?
Lifespan depends on the system and installation quality. TPO systems typically last 15–25 years with proper maintenance. Modified bitumen runs 15–20 years. Commercial metal can last 40+ years. Coatings extend existing systems by 10–20 years. Houston’s climate (heat, UV, rain, hurricane exposure) accelerates wear on systems that aren’t properly specified for Gulf Coast conditions, which is why installation quality and correct spec matter as much as material selection.
Does M&M offer commercial roof maintenance plans in Houston?
Yes. M&M offers annual and bi-annual commercial inspection and maintenance programs with written condition reports. Pre-hurricane season inspections (May/early June) and post-storm assessments are particularly valuable for Houston commercial property owners. Scheduled maintenance protects manufacturer warranty compliance and catches problems before they become expensive failures.
