Docks stay openWarehouse roofing · San Antonio, TX
Leak repair, restoration and phased replacement for distribution centers, fulfillment buildings and flex warehouses from the I-35 corridor to Port San Antonio.
The short answer
CRSA is a San Antonio commercial roofing contractor for warehouses, distribution centers and fulfillment buildings. We repair, restore and replace TPO, PVC, metal, modified bitumen and coated roofs across Bexar and surrounding counties, scan large roofs by drone and infrared, phase work so docks stay open and keep a live 24/7 leak line.
Warehouse types we roof (building types)
On a warehouse, the roof protects inventory, racking and schedules. These habits keep our crews welcome on big roofs.
Crane lifts and deliveries are timed between trailer moves, with a yard plan agreed with your shipping lead.
Leaks over racking get a temporary dry-in the same day, and tear-off zones get protection below before any work.
Drone photos and infrared moisture scans map wet insulation across acres of roof, so we price real conditions.
A live person answers 24/7, and a crew is usually on site within 4 hours inside Loop 1604.
Photo reports and ranked repair lists that landlords, tenants and insurers can all read.
Where the roof is mostly dry, a coating can add 10 to 15 years for about half the cost of replacement.
From one drip over a pick module to a full re-roof on a 500,000 sq ft distribution center.
Live 24/7 line, crew on site within 4 hours, temporary dry-in and protection over racking and conveyors.
Seams, curbs, drains and punctures fixed from the roof, with photos of every repair.
Silicone over a mostly dry roof, priced by the acre, often with a new 10 to 20-year warranty.
Zones sized to the racking and dock layout below, each closed watertight every day.
Crickets, drains and overflow scuppers on roofs where water sits for days.
Scheduled inspections across multiple buildings, with one report format for every site.
Pick a system to see how it is built and how it behaves over racking, docks and conveyors.
Our usual pick for new and replaced warehouse roofs
Why it fits: White, welded and economical on huge open roofs. Wide rolls mean fewer seams and fast installs.
Watch out: Needs walkway pads along technician routes and careful curb details on rooftop units.
Adds 10–15 years without a tear-off
Why it fits: No tear-off, no debris over inventory and very fast on large roofs. Often paid from operating budget.
Watch out: Only for roofs with less than about 25% wet insulation. We confirm with a moisture scan.
Low cost per foot on simple roofs
Why it fits: Big sheets, few seams and strong hail tolerance. Ballasted versions are among the cheapest roofs per foot.
Watch out: Black surface adds heat load; choose white EPDM or a coating if the building is cooled.
For pre-engineered metal warehouses
Commercial metal roofing details
Why it fits: Long-lived steel panels on purlins, often replaced only at the fasteners and laps.
Watch out: Exposed fasteners need new washers every 10 to 15 years; condensation needs a proper vapor barrier.
For food and chemical storage
Why it fits: Resists oils, fats and chemicals from food-grade and chemical storage operations.
Watch out: Higher cost than TPO; usually only worth it where those exposures exist.
Every warehouse project follows the same six steps, planned with your operations and shipping leads.
Drone photos and infrared moisture scans map every wet area, drain and penetration across the roof.
Zones are drawn over racking, pick modules, conveyors and dock doors below.
Crane spots, material staging and dumpsters placed away from trailer lanes and fire lanes.
Tarps or netting over racking under any tear-off zone before work starts.
No zone stays open overnight; storms get a dry-in plan, not a promise.
Warranty, drain and penetration map, photo report and a maintenance schedule.

Warehouse line items we show separately
A moisture scan decides between coating and replacement. Everything else is a guess.
On big roofs, ponding near clogged drains ruins more membrane than sun or hail.
Book re-roofs for spring or early fall, not the weeks before the holiday rush.
On a warehouse, one clogged drain can ruin more roof than ten years of sun. Clear them before May and October.
Drive times are from downtown San Antonio. The I-35 northeast corridor, Port San Antonio and the I-10 east side are on our routes most days.

Logistics and facility managers ask us these first. Something else? Call a project manager.
Yes. Zones are planned over the racking and docks, crane work avoids trailer traffic, and every zone is watertight by the end of the day.
If a moisture scan shows less than about 25% wet insulation, a silicone coating usually wins on cost and speed. If more is wet, replacement is the better buy.
Tarps or netting go over racking under every open zone, and we only open what we can close the same day.
Most repair visits cost $450 to $3,500 in 2026. A TPO replacement runs about $9 to $14 per square foot and a coating about $3 to $7.
Low spots between joists, clogged drains and undersized scuppers. Crickets, tapered insulation and drain work fix it.
Yes. We replace fasteners, seal laps, coat or retrofit pre-engineered metal warehouses.
Yes. We run portfolio programs with one report format and a ranked capital plan across sites.
Yes. Drone and core documentation make large-roof hail claims much easier for adjusters to approve.
