The short answer

Who repairs and replaces hospital roofs in San Antonio?

CRSA is a San Antonio commercial roofing contractor for hospitals, surgery centers, medical office buildings and senior care facilities.

Why facility directors call us first

A hospital roof is not a warehouse roof with more paperwork. These are the habits that keep our crews invited back.

  • $10Mumbrella insurance
  • 0.78EMR safety rating
  • OSHA 30every supervisor
  • ICRA-aware crews

    Every foreman is trained on Infection Control Risk Assessment classes and builds barriers your infection preventionist signs off.

  • Credentialing done before day one

    Background checks, badges, immunization records and safety orientation are ready before we set foot on campus.

  • Air intakes come first

    We map every intake and air handler, then schedule adhesive and odor work for when your engineers can shut them down.

  • Nights and weekends, same crew

    Noisy tear-off happens away from patient wings. Quiet work keeps going after hours, with the same people you met.

  • Paperwork your surveyors like

    Daily logs, hot-work permits, fire watch records and photo reports in one binder for your environment-of-care files.

  • One phone line, 24/7

    Water coming through a ceiling at 3 am reaches a live roofer, not voicemail. A crew is on site within 4 hours.

Roof systems that suit a hospital

Pick a system to see how it is built and how it behaves on a campus that never closes.

  1. PVC membrane, heat-welded seams
  2. High-density cover board
  3. Tapered polyiso insulation
  4. Vapor retarder
  5. Steel or concrete deck

Our usual pick over kitchens, labs and exhaust fans

PVC membrane

PVC roofing details

Service life
25–30 yrs
Installed cost
$11–$17 / sq ft
  • Service life
  • Upfront value
  • Quiet, low-odor install
  • Chemical and grease resistance

Why it fits: Heat-welded seams and strong resistance to grease, chemicals and exhaust residue, which hospital roofs collect around fans and kitchen hoods.

Watch out: Costs more than TPO. Worth it where exhaust lands on the roof, not always across the whole campus.

  1. TPO membrane, heat-welded seams
  2. Cover board
  3. Polyiso insulation (two layers)
  4. Vapor retarder
  5. Steel or concrete deck

Best value for large, open roof areas

Service life
20–25 yrs
Installed cost
$10–$15 / sq ft
  • Service life
  • Upfront value
  • Quiet, low-odor install
  • Chemical and grease resistance

Why it fits: White, reflective and welded with hot air instead of flame. A quiet install that keeps cooling loads down under a Texas sun.

Watch out: Keep it away from heavy grease exhaust, or plan walk pads and a PVC section there.

  1. Silicone top coat
  2. Silicone base coat with reinforced seams
  3. Cleaned and primed existing roof
  4. Existing insulation (dry)
  5. Existing deck

Adds 10–15 years without a tear-off

Installed cost
$4–$8 / sq ft
  • Service life
  • Upfront value
  • Quiet, low-odor install
  • Chemical and grease resistance

Why it fits: No tear-off, no dust over ceilings and very little noise. Applied over a sound existing roof, often in weeks instead of months.

Watch out: Only works when less than about 25% of the insulation is wet. We confirm it with a moisture scan first.

  1. Granulated cap sheet
  2. Base ply (self-adhered or cold-applied)
  3. Cover board
  4. Polyiso insulation
  5. Deck

Tough surface for busy mechanical roofs

Modified bitumen

Modified bitumen roofing details

Service life
20–25 yrs
Installed cost
$9–$14 / sq ft
  • Service life
  • Upfront value
  • Quiet, low-odor install
  • Chemical and grease resistance

Why it fits: Multiple plies take foot traffic from service techs well. Cold-applied versions avoid torches near occupied buildings.

Watch out: Hot or torch-applied versions bring odor and fire-watch rules. We specify cold or self-adhered near intakes.

  1. Standing-seam metal panels
  2. Clips and high-temp underlayment
  3. Insulation and thermal spacers
  4. Structural deck or purlins

For medical office buildings and canopies

Standing-seam metal

Service life
40+ yrs
Installed cost
$15–$24 / sq ft
  • Service life
  • Upfront value
  • Quiet, low-odor install
  • Chemical and grease resistance

Why it fits: Long life on sloped roofs, entry canopies and covered drop-offs, with very little maintenance afterwards.

Watch out: Needs slope. Not a fit for most flat hospital tower roofs.

How we work without disrupting care

Every hospital project follows the same six steps. The schedule is written with your facilities and infection prevention teams, not handed to them.

  1. 1

    Walk the roof and the floors below

    We map the roof against the units under it: patient rooms, ORs, pharmacy, imaging. Every air intake and air handler is marked.

  2. 2

    Set the risk class with your team

    Infection prevention, facilities and safety agree on an ICRA class for each zone and sign the permits before work starts.

  3. 3

    Phase the roof into zones

    Zones are sized so each one can be opened and closed watertight in a single shift. No unit loses its roof cover overnight.

  4. 4

    Protect intakes and ceilings

    Intakes are filtered or shut during adhesive work. Where we tear off above ceilings, the rooms below get dust barriers first.

  5. 5

    Work the clock

    Crane lifts before visitors arrive, loud work away from patient wings, quiet welding later and nothing noisy at night.

  6. 6

    Close out with paperwork

    Warranty, a roof map of everything installed, photo report and a maintenance plan your team can budget against.

  • Restoration coating$4 – $8per sq ft, adds 10–15 years
  • Full replacement$10 – $17per sq ft, TPO or PVC, phased
  • Helipad waterproofingQuoted per padincludes flight-ops planning

Healthcare line items we show separately

  • After-hours and weekend work+10–20%
  • ICRA barriers and interior protection+3–6%
  • Crane, street closure and permits$4k – $15k
  • Tapered insulation to stop ponding+$1.50–$3 / sq ft

  • 01

    Split it across fiscal years

    Phase the roof by wing so each year’s capital plan carries one piece, with the worst zone first.

  • 02

    Ask for a 5-year roof plan

    We give you a ranked list: repair now, restore in two years, replace in five, with a number on each line.

  • 03

    Use restoration where it fits

    A coating can move a replacement out by a decade and is often paid from the operating budget.

Hospital roofing questions

Facility teams ask us these before almost every project. Something else? Call a project manager.

01Can you replace a hospital roof without closing patient floors?

Yes. We split the roof into zones sized to be opened and closed watertight in one shift, schedule loud work away from patient wings and protect the rooms below before any tear-off. On our healthcare projects to date, no unit has had to close for roof work.

02How do you keep roofing odors out of the air intakes?

We map every intake and air handler during the first walk. Adhesive and primer work near an intake is scheduled for when your engineers can shut it down or add carbon filters, and we favor low-odor, water-based or heat-welded systems near sensitive areas.

03What is ICRA and do roofers really need it?

ICRA stands for Infection Control Risk Assessment. It sets the dust and contamination controls for construction in a healthcare building. A roof replacement can drop debris through the deck into ceilings, so the roofer should follow the same permit and barrier rules as any interior contractor. Our foremen are trained for it.

04Do you work nights and weekends?

Yes. Hospital schedules usually mix early crane lifts, daytime tear-off away from patient wings and quieter evening work. The same crew covers all shifts, so your staff is not briefing new people every night.

05Can you work on a roof with an active helipad?

Yes. Pad closures are planned with flight operations in advance, loose materials are tied down or removed before every flight, and the crew leaves the pad zone on a set signal. Emergency flights always come first.

06How much does a hospital roof replacement cost in San Antonio?

Most replacements land between $10 and $17 per square foot in 2026, plus after-hours premiums, containment and crane costs that we list separately. A restoration coating, where the roof qualifies, runs $4 to $8 per square foot. A free assessment gives you a fixed written number.

07Do you provide paperwork for Joint Commission or environment-of-care rounds?

Yes. You get daily logs, hot-work permits and fire watch records, photo reports and a closeout binder with warranties and a roof map. Many clients file our maintenance reports with their environment-of-care documentation.

08Do you also roof clinics, surgery centers and senior care buildings?

Yes. The same crews handle outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, medical office buildings, imaging centers, rehab and senior living. Smaller buildings get the same infection control and noise planning, sized to the building.
