Licensed and insured commercial roofers install, repair, and replace single-ply PVC roofing for Highland Park buildings with free written estimates.
At Acorn Roofing and Construction, we install, repair, and replace the single-ply PVC roofing Highland Park businesses depend on because it resists ponding water, kitchen grease, and full sun simultaneously. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written estimate.

PVC is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane, rolled out across a low-slope deck and joined with hot-air welded seams rather than adhesive or tape.
That welding step is the whole point. A welded seam fuses two sheets into one piece of material, so the weakest line on the roof is no longer a seam. On buildings with parapets, drains, and rooftop equipment, seams are where water looks for a way in.
The membrane itself is reinforced with polyester scrim and formulated to stay flexible as it ages, which matters on a roof that expands every afternoon and contracts every night.
Get in TouchPVC Roof Installation
New installations on commercial and low-slope buildings are mechanically fastened or fully adhered depending on your deck and wind exposure. We weld every seam to manufacturer specifications and properly detail difficult parts: drains, curbs, parapets, and pipe penetrations.
PVC Roof Repair
We repair punctures, split seams, failed flashings, and storm damage. Because PVC is weldable, a competent repair becomes part of the membrane instead of a patch on top. We locate the actual entry point rather than chasing the stain.
Flat Roof Replacement
When a roof is beyond repair, we strip it, assess the deck and insulation, fix drainage problems, and install a new system. Our broader flat roofing services cover buildings where PVC is not the right choice.
Roof Inspections and Maintenance
Drone-assisted inspections document the roof without crews walking on the membrane, which matters on surfaces where foot traffic can cause damage. We photograph conditions, flag what needs immediate attention, and tell you what can wait.

Highland Park is overwhelmingly residential, but the low-slope roofs it does have sit on the buildings that can least afford a leak: the shops and restaurants around Highland Park Village, the offices along the Preston corridor, and the flat rear additions on larger homes.
Those roofs take punishment most people never see. According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s guidance on cool roofs, conventional roofs can reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit or more on a sunny summer afternoon. A reflective roof can stay more than 50 degrees cooler. Heat drives most low-slope failures. It cooks the plasticizers out of cheap membranes until they go brittle, loosens seams through daily expansion and contraction, and increases cooling loads as the deck radiates heat into the space below.
White PVC addresses all three at once. The membrane is factory-pigmented to reflect sunlight rather than absorb it, so the roof runs cooler, welded seams experience less daily movement, and your air conditioning works against a smaller load. We measure the deck, check insulation, and confirm drainage before specifying a system because a reflective membrane over a saturated substrate solves nothing.
Both are single-ply, and both are heat-welded, but they behave differently in service:
We are happy to price both. If your building has no grease or chemical exposure, we will tell you that TPO roofing may serve you just as well at a lower cost.
If your flat roof is ponding, staining ceilings, or simply old enough to worry you, the next step costs nothing. We will inspect it, document our findings with drone imagery, and provide a written estimate outlining repair and replacement options so you can weigh both.
No pressure, no scare tactics, and no recommendation to replace a roof that does not need replacing.

Is PVC roofing a good choice for restaurants and retail buildings in Highland Park?
PVC is often an excellent choice for Highland Park commercial properties, especially restaurants, cafés, and retail buildings with rooftop HVAC equipment or kitchen exhaust. Restaurant exhaust deposits grease and oils around fan curbs and other penetrations, and PVC resists oils, animal fats, and many chemicals better than some other commercial roofing membranes. Its heat-welded seams create a continuous watertight surface around rooftop penetrations and field seams. We evaluate the building’s use, existing roof assembly, drainage, and rooftop equipment before deciding if PVC is the right specification.
Does a PVC roof need special consideration for Highland Park’s weather?
Yes. A commercial PVC roof in Highland Park must withstand intense summer sun, high temperatures, thunderstorms, wind, and repeated expansion and contraction of the roof assembly. Proper membrane thickness, securement, flashing details, drainage, and installation around HVAC curbs and penetrations are especially important. We inspect the entire roof system, not just visible membrane damage, because poor drainage or deteriorated flashing can cause leaks even when the PVC membrane still appears serviceable.
Do I need a permit to replace a commercial PVC roof in Highland Park, TX?
Roofing work in Highland Park is subject to the town’s permitting and inspection requirements, separate from those of the City of Dallas, because Highland Park is an incorporated town. Whether a repair or replacement requires a permit depends on the scope of work and applicable rules. We review the project with you before work begins and help coordinate the required permitting and inspection processes to ensure your commercial roof replacement complies with local requirements.
How long can a PVC commercial roof last in Highland Park?
A properly designed and installed PVC roofing system can provide decades of service, but its lifespan depends on more than the membrane itself. Highland Park’s intense summer heat makes membrane quality, proper attachment, flashing, seam welding, and drainage especially important. Standing water, damaged insulation, neglected penetrations, or repeated storm damage can shorten the life of an otherwise good membrane. We assess these conditions during installation and recommend maintenance to help maximize the roof’s service life.
Can you repair an existing PVC roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. PVC is a thermoplastic membrane, so many punctures, seam problems, flashing failures, and localized damage can be repaired by heat-welding compatible material instead of replacing the entire roof. We inspect the membrane, seams, penetrations, perimeter details, and underlying insulation to determine if the damage is isolated. Replacement is more appropriate when deterioration is widespread, the membrane has significant shrinkage or embrittlement, or moisture has compromised a substantial portion of the roof assembly.
Will a white or reflective PVC roof help reduce cooling costs for my Highland Park building?
A reflective PVC roof can reduce the solar heat absorbed through the roof, which is valuable during Highland Park’s long, hot summers. A white reflective membrane keeps the roof surface cooler than a dark roof under strong sunlight, potentially reducing heat transfer into the building and the workload on its air-conditioning system. We can evaluate the existing roof assembly and explain whether a reflective PVC system makes sense for your property.
