Commercial Roof Replacement in New Braunfels, TX — Tear-Off or Recover
If you manage a building in New Braunfels and the roof is at the end of its life, the first decision isn't who to hire — it's which reroof you actually need. Here's how that call gets made.
ARP replaces commercial roofs across New Braunfels and Comal County with a tear-off or a recover, sized to your deck, drainage, and access — and a written scope of work in your hands before you sign. Whether a roof is a recover candidate or needs a full tear-off is decided by a documented assessment, not by which job is easier to sell.

Which Conversation Your
Which Conversation Your New Braunfels Roof Is Actually In
Not every commercial roof in New Braunfels needs the same answer, and the most expensive mistakes happen when a building owner is sold the wrong one. Across ARP's commercial roofing in New Braunfels, replacement starts with figuring out which conversation your roof is actually in. There are really three conversations a Comal County roof can be in: a full tear-off and replacement, a recover over one sound existing layer, or — on a new build or addition — a first install. Which one your building belongs in isn't a matter of opinion or whichever job is easiest to close.
It's decided by what a documented assessment finds when someone actually reads the deck, the drainage, and the access: the wet deck, the second layer already up there, the drains that no longer carry water. Put an owner in the wrong conversation and they pay for it twice — once for the wrong job, and again for the right one when they have to do it anyway.
An overlay is the right call about a third of the time we look at a commercial roof. The other two-thirds, it's the most expensive shortcut a building owner can take. The difference is the deck wet-test — not the contractor's mood about which job they want.

Why ARP
Tear-Off vs Recover for Your Comal County Building
A recover — laying a new membrane over the existing roof instead of stripping it — is the honest call more often than most owners expect, but only when the conditions line up. Texas commercial building code allows a maximum of two roofing layers, so if your building already carries two, a recover is off the table and a tear-off is the only compliant path.
Even with a single existing layer, a recover works only when that layer is sound and the deck under it is dry. A saturated deck, trapped moisture in the insulation, or widespread membrane failure all mean a recover would just seal problems in — so the layer comes off. The way that call gets made is a deck moisture check, not a guess from the parking lot. And if only a section of the roof is failing, a targeted commercial roof repair may be the honest answer instead of any full reroof at all.
New Drainage on
New Drainage on a New Single-Ply Reroof
When your reroof is a new single-ply system — a GAF EverGuard TPO or PVC membrane installed under ARP's GAF GoldElite Commercial certification — the drainage is not an optional line item. A new single-ply membrane holds its manufacturer warranty only when the roof drains positively, which means the scuppers and interior drains have to move water off the deck the way the system was engineered to.
Reusing tired, undersized, or corroded openings under a brand-new membrane is how a warranty gets voided and how ponding water starts working on the seams. ARP itemizes new scuppers and drains on the proposal and charges for them honestly, rather than leaving them off to shave the bid and handing you a drainage problem a year later.
A reroof bid that never mentions scuppers or drains isn't cheaper — it's incomplete. New positive drainage is a condition of the single-ply warranty, not an upsell, and it belongs on the written scope where you can see it.
Installed Cost
What a Commercial Roof Replacement Costs in New Braunfels
A commercial tear-off and replacement in New Braunfels runs about $14 to $20 per square foot all-in, while a recover over one sound layer runs $9 to $15. A 2,500-square-foot TPO reroof lands around $26,500 to $39,500 installed, before your building's specifics move it.
| Method / system | Price | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Tear-off & replace (all-in) | $14.00–$20.00/sq ft | new system + tear-off + disposal |
| Lay-over / recover (one existing layer; code 2-layer cap) | $9.00–$15.00/sq ft | all-in, recover over one sound layer |
| Representative total — TPO reroof, 2,500 sq ft building | $26,500–$39,500 | installed |
| Representative total — TPO reroof, 5,000 sq ft building | $52,500–$79,000 | installed |
| New drainage (per opening) | scupper $500–$1,000 · drain $900–$1,800 | itemized, not per-sq-ft |
Every one of those numbers moves with the same short list: your existing system and deck condition, whether you qualify for a recover or need a full tear-off, the drainage the new system requires, the roof size, and access.

Honest fit check
Is ARP the right fit for your New Braunfels project?
The best way to judge any New Braunfels contractor — us or anyone else — is to ask for a written scope, ask who your single point of contact is, and ask when the manufacturer warranty gets registered in your name. If a roofer can't answer those three plainly, that's your answer.
Yes — we're a match
A good fit if you
- Want a roofer your New Braunfels neighbors have actually used — not a pop-up tent after the last hailstorm.
- Want everything documented and in writing, with photos, before any crew gets on the roof.
- Plan to stay in your New Braunfels home or hold the property long term.
- Had recent hail or wind damage and want it documented correctly for your carrier.
No — we'll say so up front
Not the right fit if you
- Need a commercial job below our minimum repair scope, or a firm residential repair price over the phone — we quote every repair after an on-roof inspection.
- Need someone to start tomorrow with no inspection.
- Are choosing purely on the lowest bid, without reading the scope underneath it.
- Want a contractor to pay, waive or "take care of" your deductible — a criminal offense in Texas under Business & Commerce Code § 27.02.
We'd rather tell you that on the phone than waste a walkthrough.

Questions that decide the job
New Braunfels roofing — frequently asked questions
How much does a commercial roof replacement cost in New Braunfels?
+
A commercial tear-off and replacement runs $14 to $20 per square foot all-in, and a recover over one sound layer runs $9 to $15. A 2,500-square-foot TPO reroof lands about $26,500 to $39,500 installed. The final number depends on the system, deck condition, drainage, and access.
Can I recover my roof instead of a full tear-off?
+
Sometimes. If there's one sound existing layer and the deck under it is dry, a recover is cheaper and code allows up to two layers total. A documented deck moisture check decides whether a recover or a full tear-off is the honest call. If the roof still has service life, a restoration coating may extend it instead.
Why does a reroof bid include new scuppers and drains?
+
A new single-ply roof needs positive drainage to hold its manufacturer warranty, so ARP itemizes new scuppers at $500 to $1,000 each and drains at $900 to $1,800 each rather than reuse worn openings and risk the warranty. It's a condition of the system, not an upsell.
How disruptive is a commercial roof replacement to my tenants?
+
ARP phases the work, schedules around tenant hours where it can, and runs a magnetic sweep for stray fasteners at the end of every day. The goal is a reroof your tenants barely notice — not just one that finishes on schedule.

Commercial Gutters in New Braunfels
If water is spilling over your gutters, pooling at the base of the building, or finding its way behind the fascia, the problem is almost never the roof membrane — it's drainage that was never sized to the load. Here's how ARP fixes that.
