October 21, 2025
By: Renown Roofing and Construction
Your roof does far more than shield your building from rain and hail — it’s the silent guardian that protects your
employees, equipment, inventory, and daily operations
.
In Texas, where extreme weather swings from blazing heat to hailstorms, your commercial roofing system must do more than survive — it must perform efficiently year-round . That’s why choosing the right material matters. At Renown Roofing & Construction , we’ve helped hundreds of Dallas–Fort Worth businesses evaluate, install, and maintain commercial roofs that stand the test of time. Below, we’ll walk you through the three leading options for flat and low-slope roofs: TPO, PVC, and EPDM — what they are, why they matter, and how to choose the right one for your property.

TPO Roofing: The Energy-Efficient Favorite
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)
is one of the most widely installed commercial roofing membranes in North Texas — and for good reason.
TPO combines durability, energy savings, and affordability, making it the go-to choice for businesses wanting maximum performance without breaking the budget.
Best For: Flat or low-slope roofs on office buildings, warehouses, retail centers, and industrial facilities looking for high performance at a reasonable cost.
When installed by Renown Roofing & Construction , your TPO system includes a 20-year NDL warranty — ensuring your business stays protected and energy-efficient for decades.
TPO combines durability, energy savings, and affordability, making it the go-to choice for businesses wanting maximum performance without breaking the budget.
Benefits of TPO Roofing:
- Reflective “Cool Roof” Surface: Reflects UV rays, reducing rooftop temperatures by up to 30°F and significantly lowering your cooling costs.
- Seamless Leak Protection: Heat-welded seams form a watertight bond that outperforms glued or taped alternatives.
- Low Maintenance: Resistant to dirt, mold, and algae — meaning fewer cleanings and longer lifespan.
- Cost-Effective: Provides excellent durability and energy savings at a lower price point than PVC.

If you live in Flower Mound, you already know the wind here has personality. It does not gently pass through the neighborhood. It shows up like it’s late to something important and takes it out on your patio furniture. One minute it’s calm. The next minute your grill cover is in the next zip code. And while you’re watching your trees bend dramatically, your asphalt shingles are going through something. Most Flower Mound homeowners assume wind damage only happens when shingles are completely missing. If nothing is in the yard, everything must be fine. Not exactly. Wind damage is often subtle. It starts small. It hides. Then one rainy day your ceiling joins the conversation. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we inspect roofs across Flower Mound and the DFW area every week. Wind damage is one of the most misunderstood roofing issues we see. Let’s talk about what wind actually does to your roof.
Your roof warranty looks impressive on paper. Long years. Big promises. Lots of confidence. Then one small thing goes wrong and suddenly the warranty vanishes like it never existed. What happened? Nine times out of ten, the answer is not the shingles. It’s who installed them. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we see this constantly. Homeowners do everything right. Quality materials. Storm coverage. Maintenance. Then a claim gets denied because the installer skipped a step, ignored a guideline, or thought the rules were more like “suggestions.” This blog explains why choosing a certified roofing contractor is the difference between having a warranty and having a very expensive piece of paper.
Filing a roof insurance claim should be simple. Storm hits. Roof gets damaged. Insurance helps pay for repairs. Everyone moves on with their life. That is how it works in theory. In reality, insurance claims are where good roofs go to die and bad decisions go to multiply. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we see the same mistakes over and over again. Smart homeowners. Good intentions. One wrong move. Thousands of dollars gone. This blog breaks down the most common insurance claim mistakes homeowners make, why they happen, and how to avoid turning a covered loss into an out of pocket nightmare.
Your roof is excellent at lying to you. From the street, it looks calm. Confident. Maybe even smug. “Everything’s fine up here,” it says. Meanwhile, it could be hiding moisture, insulation failure, and the early stages of a leak that is quietly planning to ruin your ceiling at the worst possible time. That’s where an infrared roof scan comes in. At Renown Roofing & Construction, our free infrared roof scans have exposed more secrets than a group text accidentally sent to the wrong person. This is how they work, what they reveal, and why homeowners love them once they realize how much trouble they just avoided.
After a hailstorm passes, many North Texas homeowners step outside, look at their roof from the driveway, and assume everything is fine. No missing shingles. No obvious holes. No leaks inside the home. Unfortunately, this false sense of security is one of the biggest reasons hail damage goes untreated until it becomes expensive. Hail damage is often subtle. In many cases, it weakens your roof without creating immediate leaks. Weeks or even months later, those weakened areas fail, leading to water intrusion, mold, and premature roof replacement. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we inspect hundreds of roofs every year that homeowners believed were undamaged, only to uncover widespread hail impact once we got up close. This article explains the hidden signs of hail damage you cannot see from the ground, why they matter, and how to protect your roof before small impacts turn into major problems.
North Texas roofs endure more heat and sun exposure than most homeowners realize. In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, summer temperatures regularly climb past 100°F, and roofs absorb even more heat than the air around them. Day after day, intense sunlight and ultraviolet radiation slowly wear down roofing materials, even when no storms are present. Many homeowners assume hail or wind causes most roof damage. In reality, heat and UV exposure quietly do just as much damage, often shortening a roof’s lifespan long before storms ever strike. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we frequently inspect roofs that look intact from the ground but are already failing due to prolonged heat and sun exposure. This article explains how heat and UV rays break down shingles in DFW, the warning signs homeowners miss, and how proper materials and installation protect your roof.
When homeowners think about their roof, they usually picture shingles. Color. Style. Warranty. Very few think about what those shingles are attached to. That hidden layer, the roof decking, is one of the most critical parts of your entire roofing system. In North Texas, where heat, hail, wind, and humidity constantly stress homes, roof decking often determines whether a roof lasts decades or fails early. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we regularly uncover decking problems on roofs that look fine from the outside. In many cases, the decking is the real reason for leaks, sagging roofs, and denied insurance claims. This article explains what roof decking does, why it matters so much in Texas, and how ignoring it can cost homeowners far more than they expect.
A new roof should give you peace of mind for decades. Unfortunately, many roofing problems in North Texas are not caused by storms or age. They are caused by poor installation. A roof can look fine from the street and still fail prematurely if it was not installed correctly. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we inspect roofs across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex every day. We often find installation errors on roofs that are only a few years old. These mistakes lead to leaks, higher energy bills, voided warranties, and costly repairs that homeowners never expected. This guide explains how to tell if your roof was installed correctly, what red flags to look for, and how to protect your investment.
North Texas homeowners deal with some of the most intense and unpredictable weather patterns in the country. Spring hailstorms. Sudden high wind events. Extreme summer heat. These conditions punish roofing systems year after year. Many standard shingles simply cannot handle the repeated impacts and temperature swings that define the Dallas–Fort Worth climate. Impact resistant shingles are designed to solve this exact problem. They are built to withstand the kind of weather that destroys ordinary roofs. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we’ve inspected and replaced thousands of roofs across DFW. We’ve seen the difference that high quality, impact resistant shingles make for homeowners, especially after severe storms. This guide explains why impact resistant shingles are a smart investment, how they work, and how they protect your home and wallet in a region where hail is almost guaranteed.
Texas homeowners face some of the most punishing weather in the country. Extreme heat. High winds. Hail that can tear through shingles in seconds. With this constant pressure on your roof, even small issues can turn into expensive problems faster than most people expect. What starts as a loose shingle, minor leak, or tiny puncture often goes unnoticed until it becomes water intrusion, mold, or structural damage. At Renown Roofing & Construction, we’ve inspected thousands of roofs across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. Again and again, we see homeowners pay thousands more because small problems were ignored for too long. This guide explains why delaying repairs is risky, what subtle issues to watch for, and how quick action protects your home and wallet.
