Restaurant Roof Repair in Leander, TX
A leak over a kitchen or dining room cannot wait for a slow callback. We fix restaurant roofs across TX, grease-exhaust and all, and back the work with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
A roof repair that respects your service hours
When the roof over a restaurant starts leaking, you are not just looking at a wet ceiling. You are looking at a health inspector’s note, a dining room you cannot seat, food prep you cannot run, and a reputation that drops every time a customer sees a bucket on the floor. A restaurant roof leak is an operating emergency, and we treat it like one.
We repair restaurant and food-service roofs across TX, from single storefront kitchens to sit-down dining rooms and bar patios. We do it the right way instead of trying to make a quick nickel, which on a restaurant means we work around your prep and service windows, keep the kitchen and dining area protected from debris, and get the active leak stopped before it costs you another night of seating.
Tell us what the roof is doing and you get a free roof quote with the cause of the leak, the fix and the warranty laid out in plain language, not a guess shouted down from a ladder.

How we handle a restaurant roof leak
We find where it is actually leaking
Water shows up over the dining room but the real leak is usually somewhere else, around a vent, a kitchen exhaust curb or a seam upslope. We get on the roof, trace the water back to its source, and check the spots that fail first on a food-service building before we tell you what it will take to fix.
We work around your hours
A restaurant cannot lose a lunch rush to a roofing crew. We schedule loud and disruptive work for the windows that hurt you least, keep the kitchen and dining area protected from dust and debris, and coordinate access so deliveries and your team keep moving while we are on the roof.
We fix the cause, not just the stain
We reseal or replace failed flashing at the grease-exhaust curbs, vents and seams, repair any wet decking the leak has already reached, and detail the area so it sheds water the way it should. Patching the ceiling stain without fixing the roof above it just buys you a worse leak next storm.
We dry it in and warranty it
We leave the roof water-tight before we leave the property, clear every scrap and fastener off the roof and the ground, and hand you a lifetime workmanship warranty plus six years of annual weatherproofing so the repair is checked and sealed long after the dining room is open again.
Why restaurant roofs leak where they do
A restaurant roof fails in places a regular building roof does not, and the reason is the kitchen. Commercial cooking exhaust pushes hot, grease-laden air up through curbs and hoods that punch right through the roof membrane, and over time that grease and heat break down the wrong sealant and the wrong flashing. Most restaurant leaks we get called for trace back to one of those exhaust penetrations, the make-up air units that feed the kitchen, or the seams around them, not to the open field of the roof. A building owner who patches the visible stain inside without addressing the grease-exhaust curb above it ends up calling again after the next hard rain, because the actual hole never got fixed. We chase the leak to its real source first, every time, so the repair holds instead of moving the problem three feet down the deck.

Plenox SolutionsThe other thing that sets food-service roofs apart is that most of them are low-slope or flat, which means water does not run off, it sits and looks for a way in. A flat restaurant roof with a tired membrane, a ponding low spot, or a lifted seam near a rooftop unit will find the weakest detail and leak straight into the kitchen or the ceiling tiles below. When the leak is local and the rest of the roof has life left, we repair it: reseal the curb, replace the failed flashing, fix the seam and the wet decking under it, and get the area draining again. When the membrane is at the end of its life across the whole field, we will tell you that plainly so you are not paying for a patch on a roof that has earned a full flat-roof replacement. Either way you get the honest read, in writing, with the cost spelled out before anyone starts.
Timing is the part that separates a roofer who understands restaurants from one who does not. A leak over a walk-in, a prep line or a dining room is not a repair you slot in next week, it is one that costs you covers and inspections every day it sits. We move fast on restaurant calls, get the active leak stopped first if we cannot complete the full repair the same day, and schedule the rest around your service so the doors stay open. If a storm just tore the roof up, our storm damage roof repair crew can tarp and dry-in the building the same day to protect the kitchen and the inventory underneath.
Built right, then stood behind
A leak over a working kitchen is not the place for a cut-rate crew. We are an OSHA-certified company, which on an occupied restaurant means the work happens safely and to code while your staff and customers are still in the building underneath. The attic and roof ventilation we design follows our Lomanco-certified design, because trapped heat shortens the life of a roof over a hot kitchen faster than anywhere else on a building.
Every restaurant repair carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, so the quality of the fix is covered for as long as you own the building. On top of that we include six years of weatherproofing done annually, where we come back, walk the roof, and re-check the grease-exhaust curbs, the flashing, the drains and the seams, and seal anything that has moved before it becomes another leak over your dining room. That return-and-recheck is the part most roofers skip the moment the invoice clears, and it is the whole reason we built this business to do it the right way instead of chasing a quick nickel.
Restaurant roof repair questions
Straight answers about leaks, grease exhaust, timing and warranty. If yours is not here, call (432) 288-5562 or send it through our contact page.
My ceiling is leaking but the roof looks fine. Where is the water coming from?
On a restaurant the leak almost always starts at a penetration, not the open roof. Grease-exhaust curbs, kitchen hoods, make-up air units and the seams around them are where water gets in, then it tracks under the membrane and shows up over the dining room somewhere else. We trace the water back to the real source on the roof instead of patching the stain inside.
Can you fix the roof without shutting my restaurant down?
Yes, that is how we plan restaurant work. We schedule the loud and disruptive parts for your slowest windows, keep the kitchen and dining area protected from debris, and coordinate access so your team and your deliveries keep moving. Most of our restaurant repairs are done with the doors open.
Why does the grease exhaust keep causing leaks?
Commercial cooking exhaust pushes hot, grease-laden air through curbs that go right through the roof, and grease and heat break down the wrong flashing and sealant over time. If a roofer used the wrong material at those curbs, they will leak again and again. We reseal or replace the flashing with materials that stand up to grease and heat so the fix actually lasts.
How fast can you get out to a restaurant leak?
We move fast on restaurant calls because a leak over a kitchen or dining room costs you covers and inspections every day it sits. If we cannot complete the full repair the same day, we stop the active leak first and dry the building in, then schedule the rest of the work around your service hours.
Should I repair the roof or replace it?
It depends on the roof. If the leak is local and the rest of the membrane has life left, a repair is the right call and we will do it. If the flat roof is failing across the whole field, we will tell you honestly so you are not paying for a patch on a roof that needs a full replacement. You get the straight read in writing before any work starts.
