Durable Single-Ply Installations for Commercial Roofs
We install energy-efficient single-ply roofing systems that protect your building, reduce upkeep, and stand up to Texas weather.
Single-Ply Installations
At Pillar Roofing, we install single-ply roofing systems for commercial properties that need long-term protection, energy efficiency, and dependable performance. If you own or manage a retail center, office building, warehouse, church, school, or light industrial property, a single-ply roof can be a smart option. These systems are known for their durability, clean appearance, and cost-effective maintenance over time.
Single-ply roofing is a membrane-based commercial roofing system designed for low-slope and flat roofs. Instead of using multiple built-up layers, this roof uses a single manufactured membrane that is installed across the roof surface to create a watertight barrier. The most common single-ply membranes include TPO, PVC, and EPDM. Each material has its own strengths, and we help our clients choose the right system based on the building, budget, drainage, insulation needs, and long-term goals.
What We Install
We provide professional installation of several types of single-ply membrane roofing systems for commercial buildings in Richardson, TX and surrounding areas. Our team installs:
- TPO roofing: A popular choice for commercial flat roofs because it offers strong heat-welded seams, good UV resistance, and reflective properties that can help reduce cooling costs.
- PVC roofing: A durable membrane known for chemical resistance, grease resistance, and excellent seam strength. This can be a strong fit for restaurants, industrial facilities, and buildings exposed to harsh rooftop conditions.
- EPDM roofing: A rubber roofing membrane valued for flexibility, weather resistance, and proven long-term performance. It works well on many low-slope roof systems.
We also review the full roof assembly, not just the top membrane. A proper single-ply installation may include insulation boards, cover boards, fastening systems, adhesives, edge metal, drain components, flashing details, walkway pads, pipe boots, and termination bars. Every part matters when you want a roof that performs well year after year.
Our Installation Process
We believe a quality roof starts with planning and detail. When we install a new single-ply roofing system, we begin with a full evaluation of the existing roof deck, drainage layout, penetration points, insulation condition, and any signs of moisture intrusion. This allows us to recommend the right membrane and attachment method for your property.
Depending on the building and project requirements, single-ply systems can be installed using one of several methods:
- Mechanically attached: The membrane is secured with fasteners and plates. This is often an efficient and cost-effective option for many commercial buildings.
- Fully adhered: The membrane is bonded to the substrate with adhesive. This method can improve appearance and may offer strong wind performance.
- Ballasted: In some cases, the membrane is laid in place and held with ballast. This method depends on structural factors and site conditions.
During installation, we focus closely on seam welding or seam sealing, flashing transitions, curb details, edge securement, and water flow. These areas are often where roofing problems begin if the work is rushed or poorly done. Our team takes the time to complete these details correctly so your roof is built to resist leaks, ponding concerns, weather exposure, and normal wear.
Benefits of a Single-Ply Roof
Single-ply roofing has become one of the most common choices for commercial roof replacement and new roof construction for good reason. It offers several important benefits:
- Weather protection: A properly installed membrane helps defend your building from rain, wind, UV exposure, and temperature swings.
- Energy efficiency: Many white reflective roofing membranes can help reduce heat absorption and improve indoor comfort.
- Lightweight design: Single-ply systems are lighter than some other commercial roofing materials, which can be helpful depending on the structure.
- Flexible performance: These membranes can handle normal building movement and thermal expansion better than many rigid systems.
- Lower maintenance needs: When installed and maintained correctly, these roofs are easier to inspect and repair than many older roofing systems.
- Long service life: With the right installation and maintenance plan, a single-ply roof can provide years of reliable performance.
Where Single-Ply Roofing Works Best
Single-ply membrane systems are commonly used on flat roofs and low-slope roofs where waterproofing and drainage control are critical. They are often a strong fit for:
- Office buildings
- Shopping centers
- Medical buildings
- Schools and churches
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Restaurants and service facilities
- Multi-tenant commercial properties
If your property has rooftop equipment, vents, drains, skylights, or multiple penetrations, single-ply can still be a practical solution. The key is making sure those details are flashed and sealed the right way.
Choosing the Right Membrane
Not every building needs the same roofing system. We help you compare membrane options based on real jobsite conditions. For example, TPO may be ideal if reflective performance and value are top priorities. PVC may be the better option where chemical exposure or grease is a concern. EPDM may make the most sense when flexibility and long-term weather resistance matter most. We walk you through these choices in plain language so you can make a confident decision.
We also discuss insulation value, cover board options, attachment method, traffic needs, and warranty considerations. Our goal is not to push a one-size-fits-all roof. Our goal is to install the right system for your building.
Why Professional Installation Matters
A commercial membrane roof is only as good as the workmanship behind it. Even high-quality materials can fail early if seams are not welded correctly, flashing details are weak, or drainage issues are ignored. That is why building owners trust Pillar Roofing for careful commercial roof installation backed by real experience.
As a family-owned roofing contractor in Richardson, we take pride in doing the work the right way. We are RCAT licensed, and we provide free estimates and consultations for commercial roofing projects. We understand that a new roof is a major investment, and we treat your property with the professionalism and care it deserves. Our team communicates clearly, keeps the project organized, and focuses on delivering a finished roof system built for performance and value.
Maintenance and Long-Term Performance
After installation, routine maintenance can help protect your investment and extend the life of your roof. We offer roof inspections and maintenance plans designed to catch small issues before they become major repairs. This can include checking seams, flashings, drains, rooftop penetrations, edge details, and any signs of damage from storms or foot traffic.
Regular maintenance is especially important for commercial flat roofing because minor punctures, clogged drains, or loose flashing can lead to leaks if they are left alone. With the right care, your single-ply roof can stay in strong condition for years.

"Pillar Roofing replaced my roof and gutters last month and they did an excellent job. Steve and George are awesome! They were very quick to respond and answer any questions that we had. I highly recommend Pillar if you need a new roof!!"
"Can’t recommend Pillar Roofing enough! Steve and Wayne came out within a day of my talking to them, took their pictures and came back with several bid offers, everything from a full rebuild to simply minimal patching. We went with the middle road of doing a liquid TPO, which they got done in record time, and hauled off all their materials. No leaks on that project since, and we had them back out for another roof that started leaking after that terrible 2022 north Texas rainstorm. Same story, record time for the bid, and they got it done with no hassle on our end. Highly recommended! John Lee Harrison- The Armstrong Foundation"

We had two roofers give us a quote to replace the entire roof that didn’t even get on top of our roof! BLAKE from Pillar Roofing came out and then met with me to go over his quote and suggested we get an insurance adjuster out because he saw some hail damage. Our roof was over 20 years old. So we did and the inspector agreed. Blake walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions. His crew showed up even earlier than Blake advised on both days. They cleaned up after demo and after install. They completed the job when Blake advised. The roof looks amazing and all my neighbors are asking for their number! Blake is extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain the process to me and everything he advised was true to what occurred. Blake is personable, patient, and very responsive. I felt completely at ease working with Blake on this major project! I am extremely pleased with Pillar Roofing!!!"

This is an outstanding roofing company."

I'm happy. Thank you."

"I could not have asked for better service. I was hit by the two major hail storms in Wylie. After the first one, I contacted Blake Joyce to look at my roof.........wasn't sure if I needed to contact my insurance company. He came out right away and confirmed the call. Needless to say, the second one hit and I then had hundreds of holes in my roof..........water coming in everywhere. My adjuster was already scheduled to come out the day after. Once he gave the OK......Blake had his crew were out to cover the roof that night..........by Friday (which was before the next big rain that came) he had our beautiful new roof going and finished Saturday morning. Thank you Pillar/Blake Joyce for the awesome job done and being so kind and patient! Karen Clevenger"
"Pillar handled the storm repair on my house in Wylie, TX in 2017. They repaired my roof, repaired my gutters, replaced my siding, and recommended a great guy to help repair and update my AC unit. They handled all the arrangements with me remotely as I was living out of state at the time. Their customer service was a huge help to me. They were honest, responsive, and understanding. I highly recommend this family owned company. Thank you Pillar!"
"Pillar Roofing was really great. We had our roof ruined in the spring hail storm of 2017 and they were among many roofers we talked to. Pillar gave us a reasonable quote, they were on time and the work was really terrific. And they cleaned up after the job! I highly recommend them."
"Got hit pretty bad with the Murphy Hail Storm last Spring. Steve the owner was personally engaged as well as several of his staff. He took us through the entire process and explained what to expect and the timing from start to finish. He worked directly with our Insurance company and assured all our damage was repaired and even pointed out things to the adjuster that we had no clue were covered. Very satisfied with the results and the professionalism of the crew. While I hope we never have to go through that again, you can be sure we will be calling Pillar Roofing if we do."

"Great company, great customer service!"
"I recently (late 2014) had a fairly major interior and exterior paint job, and woodwork replacement, done to my house. Our house is completely painted brick and fascia, a rather large job. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Pillar Construction. I am a very picky person and they more than satisfied me. I would be happy to answer any questions from a perspective customer, or anyone else, but can't say enough good things about the services performed. They exceeded my expectations!!"
