Replacement: Recommended Only When the Roof Earns It.
A commercial roof replacement is a major capital investment, and it should be made based on the roof's condition — not a contractor's incentive. We have built our replacement practice on a simple principle: we inspect thoroughly before recommending a replacement, and we do not put clients into a tear-off when the roof does not need it. When replacement genuinely is the right call, we execute it to a standard that protects the investment for decades.
AVID Roofing & Waterproofing has been in business for over two decades, with more than $300 million installed and experience across every major commercial Roofing system. We are a certified installer for many leading manufacturers, which means we can offer extended warranties most contractors cannot, and we are fully licensed and insured — so your property is in proven hands.
Manufacturer certification is not a badge — it is leverage that benefits you. Certified installers can offer extended warranties that uncertified contractors cannot, and those warranties are backed by manufacturers precisely because the installer has proven they install to specification. That is real, transferable value on a major capital asset.
Our Replacement Process.
We begin with a comprehensive inspection and an honest assessment of whether replacement is warranted, checking for repairs that could extend the existing roof's life before recommending a tear-off. When replacement is the right path, we scope the system for the building — deck, drainage, insulation, membrane, and detailing— engineered to work together.
Our expert crews install to manufacturer specifications so the extended warranty holds, with rigorous attention to the edges, penetrations, and transitions where roofs actually fail. Quality control is led by experienced field operations, not left to chance.
We pay particular attention to the details that determine whether a new roof lasts: the edges, penetrations, flashings, and transitions where the vast majority of roof failures actually begin. A flawless membrane field undone by a poorly detailed edge is the most common way a new roof disappoints, and it is exactly what specification-grade installation prevents.
What You Get And The Risk We Remove
You get a properly engineered, expertly installed roof, an extended manufacturer warranty backed by certified installation, and the assurance of a licensed, insured contractor with a verifiable track record on high-stakes commercial buildings.
The risks we remove are the two that cost owners the most: an unnecessary replacement driven by sales pressure, and a poorly installed one that voids its warranty at the details. We protect against both with honest assessment and specification-grade installation.
You also gain the confidence that comes with a verifiable track record of buildings like yours. More than $300 million installed, $14 million in commercial reroofs in the last 24 months, and clients including Macy's, Pfizer, and Wells Fargo are not decoration — they are evidence that serious building owners have trusted us with serious roofs, and that the work held up.
Logistics And Continuity.
Replacing an occupied building requires careful planning. We sequence tear-off and installation to keep the building protected and operational throughout, with staging, safety perimeters, debris management, and tenant communication planned in advance of work. We commit to a realistic timeline and hold it.
The same firm that assesses, specifies, and installs your roof stands behind it afterward — continuity that protects both the warranty and the investment.
We also plan the replacement around your building's reality — tenant operations, access, weather windows, and the need to keep the building protected as the old roof comes off and the new one goes on. A replacement is as much a logistics exercise as a roofing one, and we manage both.
Roof Replacement
Frequently Asked Questions:
Replacement is the right call when leaks are recurring across multiple areas, core cuts show widespread wet insulation, the membrane is past 20 years with no prior maintenance, blistering or splitting is visible across large sections, or the drainage system is fundamentally inadequate for a single, isolated leak at a penetration or seam that requires repair. A pattern of failures across the roof plane is a replacement. A proper inspection — including core cuts on flat roofs — gives you a definitive answer. AVID provides those at no charge across DFW.
Most commercial roof replacements in DFW run $7 to $15 per square foot installed. TPO and modified bitumen sit at the lower end of that range; PVC, fully adhered systems, and metal panels run higher. The variables that most strongly affect the number are system type, required insulation R-value, tear-off versus recover, roof access, and the condition of the deck underneath. Anyone quoting without a roof inspection and measurement is guessing. Get a roof inspection and measurement, then use AVID’s written, fixed-price scope before any work starts.
A 20,000-square-foot commercial reroof typically takes one to three weeks, depending on the system type, weather, crew size, and whether the building remains occupied during installation. Smaller buildings can be wrapped in days. Larger or more complex roofs — multiple sections, high penetration density, occupied buildings requiring phased work — take longer to complete. AVID provides a production schedule before crews mobilize, so building owners and property managers can plan around the work and prepare accordingly.
A tear-off removes the existing roofing system down to the deck before the new system is installed. A recover installs the new membrane over the existing system without removal. Recover is viable when the existing roof is dry, structurally sound, and has only one layer on the building — it saves significant labor and disposal costs. If insulation is wet, the deck is compromised, or two layers already exist, tear-off is the only legitimate option. Installing a new roof over wet insulation is one of the most expensive mistakes a building owner can make.
There is no universal best system — there is the right system for your building. TPO is the dominant choice for most low-slope commercial buildings: cost-effective, energy-efficient, and heat-welded into a monolithic waterproofing plane. PVC is better suited for buildings exposed to grease or chemical exhaust — such as restaurants and food processing plants. Modified bitumen is the right call for high-traffic roofs. Metal lasts a long time, so it makes the most sense where longevity outweighs the upfront cost. AVID specs the system to your building's use, budget, and drainage conditions — not to whatever's fastest to install.
