The short answer
CRSA is a San Antonio commercial roofing contractor for shopping centers, strip malls, grocery-anchored centers, big-box stores and pad sites. We repair, coat and replace TPO, PVC, modified bitumen and metal roofs across Bexar and surrounding counties, phase work around store hours and tenants, and answer a live 24/7 leak line.
Retail buildings we roof (building types)
On a shopping center, a roof leak is a tenant problem, a landlord problem and a customer problem at once.
Tenants get notice and a direct number; the property manager gets one report for all suites.
Noisy tear-off before opening, crane lifts before the lot fills and nothing loud during peak shopping.
A live person 24/7 and a crew on site within 4 hours inside Loop 1604.
PVC zones and grease containment where tenants vent kitchens onto the roof.
Repairs logged by suite and roof area so costs can be allocated cleanly.
Restoration that adds 10 to 15 years and helps hold capital for leasing.
From one leak over a dry cleaner to a full re-roof of a 200,000 sq ft center.
Live 24/7 line, crew on site within 4 hours, dry-in and a report by suite for the property manager.
Seams, curbs, drains and parapet flashing fixed from the roof, with photos per suite.
PVC sections and grease containment around kitchen fans on TPO or asphalt roofs.
Silicone over a mostly dry roof to add 10 to 15 years without a tear-off.
Zones by suite, each closed daily, with work timed around store hours.
Scheduled inspections across centers with suite-level reporting.
Pick a system to see how it is built and how it behaves over stores and restaurants.
Our usual pick for center-wide replacement
Why it fits: White, welded and economical on long multi-tenant roofs.
Watch out: Needs PVC near restaurant exhaust and walkway pads on HVAC routes.
Around restaurant tenants
Why it fits: Resists the grease that softens TPO and asphalt around kitchen fans.
Watch out: Higher cost; usually installed as zones, not center-wide.
Buys time between tenants and leases
Why it fits: Fast, quiet and no tear-off over open stores.
Watch out: Only on dry roofs; we confirm with a moisture scan.
For older centers with asphalt roofs
Modified bitumen roofing details
Why it fits: Ties into existing built-up roofs for repairs and recovers.
Watch out: Avoid torch work over occupied tenant spaces; we use cold or self-adhered.
For mansards, towers and canopies
Standing-seam metal roofing details
Why it fits: Long-life metal on the visible parts of a center that set its look.
Watch out: Not for flat main roofs; used on sloped features.
Every retail project follows the same six steps, planned with your property manager.

Crane and dumpster spots chosen to keep entrances and fire lanes open.
Loud work early, quiet detail work during store hours.
No suite sleeps under an open roof.
Photos and repairs logged by suite for CAM and tenant files.

Retail line items we show separately
Re-roof vacant suites first and time the rest around renewals.
Suite-level reports make CAM recovery much easier.
Plan big work for spring or early fall, not November and December.
Fix the restaurant end of the center first. Grease on the roof causes more repeat leaks than anything else.
Drive times are from downtown San Antonio. Centers inside Loop 1604 usually see a crew within a few hours for tenant leaks.

Retail property managers ask us these first. Something else? Call a project manager.
Yes. Loud work happens before opening, zones are closed daily and the lot stays open around crane and dumpster spots.
It depends on your leases. We report repairs by suite so the property manager can allocate costs under CAM.
Kitchen grease softens most membranes. PVC zones and grease containment boxes fix it.
In 2026, repairs run $450 to $3,500 per visit, coatings $3 to $7.50 per square foot, and TPO replacement $9.50 to $14.
If a moisture scan shows the roof is mostly dry, yes, often for about half the cost of replacement.
Yes, including roofs with many rooftop units, refrigeration lines and loading docks.
Yes. We document every roof area for the insurer and make temporary repairs right away.
Yes. Parapet copings and wall flashings cause many retail leaks; we rebuild them.
