Commercial Roofing & Flat Roof Systems for Dripping Springs Hill Country Business
Wineries, breweries, distilleries, wedding venues, farm-to-table restaurants—Dripping Springs commercial buildings aren't strip malls. They're destination businesses on rural acreage that combine standing seam metal with flat-roof production areas, kitchens, and storage wings. We handle both systems on one building, work around your production and booking calendar, and deliver materials down caliche roads.

What's Going On With Your Building's Roof?
Dripping Springs isn't a conventional commercial market. There are no office parks, no big-box retail corridors, no industrial zones. Commercial roofing here means a winery tasting room on 30 acres off RR 12, a wedding venue in a converted barn off US 290, a craft brewery with a flat-roof production hall behind a metal-roofed taproom, a farm-to-table restaurant in a repurposed limestone building downtown, or an agritourism operation where the commercial building and the agricultural land are inseparable.
These buildings share a challenge most commercial roofers haven't seen: they're hybrid structures that combine standing seam metal roofing with flat-roof sections under one connected building. The tasting room, event hall, or customer-facing space gets the steep-pitch metal roof that matches the Hill Country aesthetic. The production area, commercial kitchen, cold storage, or mechanical wing gets a flat TPO or modified bitumen section because those functions don't need—and can't structurally support—a steep-pitch system. Where those two systems meet is where most problems develop.
Add rural acreage access (caliche roads, cattle guards, no loading docks), wedding venue scheduling constraints (every weekend booked for eight months straight), beverage production sensitivity (contamination risk, temperature control), and the rapid growth along the US 290 and RR 12 corridors that's adding new commercial buildings every year—and you need a contractor who understands Dripping Springs' specific commercial landscape, not a generic flat-roof company from Austin.
Commercial Roof Emergency?
A leaking commercial roof in Dripping Springs can damage beverage production, ruin event bookings, contaminate commercial kitchens, and destroy inventory. We offer 24/7 emergency response for Dripping Springs commercial buildings.
Emergency: (512) 640-2658Commercial Roofing Systems We Install & Repair
Most Dripping Springs commercial buildings need two systems working together. Here's what we install.
Standing Seam Metal
DRIPPING SPRINGS STANDARDThe dominant commercial roofing material in Dripping Springs. Standing seam metal matches the Hill Country aesthetic customers expect when visiting a winery, brewery, or event venue. Concealed fasteners eliminate leak points. 40-60+ year lifespan. Superior hail deflection compared to any membrane system. Common on tasting rooms, event halls, taprooms, and customer-facing buildings throughout the US 290 and RR 12 corridors.
$8 - $14/sq ft
30-50 year warranty
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
BEST FOR FLAT SECTIONSThe go-to membrane for the flat-roof sections behind Dripping Springs' metal-roofed commercial buildings—production areas, commercial kitchens, cold storage, mechanical rooms. Highly reflective white membrane reduces cooling costs in production spaces. Heat-welded seams create a monolithic waterproofing layer. Our most common recommendation for flat sections on winery, brewery, and restaurant buildings.
$5 - $8/sq ft
15-25 year warranty
Modified Bitumen
HEAVY DUTYMulti-layer system with excellent puncture resistance. The right choice for Dripping Springs commercial buildings with heavy rooftop HVAC equipment, commercial kitchen exhaust systems, or brewery/distillery ventilation. Handles frequent maintenance traffic from HVAC techs and hood cleaning crews. Torch-applied or self-adhered. Common on restaurant and production facility flat sections.
$5 - $9/sq ft
15-20 year warranty
EPDM (Rubber Roofing)
BUDGET FRIENDLYProven durability at a lower price point. Practical for storage buildings, equipment sheds, and secondary structures on Dripping Springs commercial properties where aesthetics aren't customer-facing. Adhesive seams are more vulnerable to hail than TPO's heat-welded seams, so post-storm inspections are important on exposed Hill Country sites.
$4 - $7/sq ft
15-20 year warranty
Roof Coatings
EXTEND LIFESilicone or acrylic coatings can add 10-15 years to existing flat roof sections or aging metal panels at a fraction of replacement cost. Effective for Dripping Springs' older converted buildings where the existing roof is sound but showing its age. On metal roofs, coatings seal aging fastener penetrations and restore reflectivity.
$2 - $4/sq ft
10-15 year warranty
Prices are estimates and vary based on building size, rural access conditions, roof complexity, and system combination. Metal + flat hybrid buildings require separate system pricing for each section. We provide detailed proposals with exact numbers.
What's Your Situation?
Different problems bring Dripping Springs business owners to us. Here's how we help.
"My commercial roof is leaking and it's threatening production/inventory/events"
24/7 emergency response for Dripping Springs commercial buildings. Water in a barrel room, production floor, commercial kitchen, or event space can't wait. We stop the water, protect your interior, then schedule permanent repairs around your operating calendar.
"My flat roof section is leaking where it connects to the metal roof"
This is the most common commercial roof problem in Dripping Springs. The metal-to-flat transition is the highest-stress point on hybrid buildings. Many builders don't flash this connection properly because they specialize in one system but not the other. We inspect the full transition—not just the membrane—and repair with custom-fabricated step flashing designed for Dripping Springs' heavy rain events.
"A hailstorm damaged my winery/brewery/distillery roof"
Dripping Springs' open Hill Country terrain means commercial buildings absorb full-force hail with minimal canopy protection. We document damage on both metal and flat sections, file insurance claims, and pursue supplements when adjusters under-measure using satellite photos of rural properties where boundaries are harder to determine from above.
"My event venue needs roof work but we're booked every weekend"
Dripping Springs is the wedding capital of the Hill Country. We schedule all venue projects Tuesday through Thursday—no exceptions. We clean up daily so your property is photo-ready for midweek walkthroughs. We've completed full roof sections between weekend events without a single booking disruption.
"I have a converted agricultural building that needs proper commercial roofing"
Old barns to event venues, ranch buildings to tasting rooms, equipment sheds to commercial kitchens—Dripping Springs thrives on agricultural-to-commercial conversions. These buildings have non-standard framing, mixed materials, and structural loads the original design never anticipated. We assess the existing structure and install a system built for its current commercial use.
"My building is on rural acreage and I'm worried about access and logistics"
Rural access is standard operating procedure for us in Dripping Springs. Caliche driveways, cattle guards, no loading docks, properties a quarter-mile off the highway—we've staged materials and equipment on all of it. We assess access before quoting and plan delivery logistics so there are zero surprises on installation day.
"I want to extend my roof's life without full replacement"
Roof coatings can add 10-15 years to flat membrane sections at a fraction of replacement cost. For aging metal roofs, coatings seal worn fastener penetrations and restore reflectivity. But coating a roof with underlying drainage problems, saturated insulation, or structural flashing failure is a waste of money. We assess honestly.
"I'm building a new commercial property along US 290 or RR 12"
New construction commercial roofing for Dripping Springs' rapidly growing corridors. We coordinate with your architect and GC to install a metal + flat hybrid system designed for Hill Country weather from day one—proper drainage slope on flat sections, wind-rated metal installation, and transition flashing that won't fail in five years.
Why Commercial Roofing in Dripping Springs Is Different
Dripping Springs isn't Austin, Buda, or Lakeway. The commercial challenges here are specific to the Hill Country's destination-driven business landscape:
Destination commercial, not strip-mall commercial
Dripping Springs' commercial buildings are wineries, breweries, distilleries, wedding venues, and farm-to-table restaurants—destination businesses that customers drive to. The buildings are designed to impress, often architect-designed, and sit on rural acreage. Generic commercial roofing approaches don't fit here.
Metal + flat hybrid buildings are the norm
Almost every commercial building in Dripping Springs combines a standing seam metal roof over customer-facing areas with flat TPO or modified bitumen over production, kitchen, or storage areas. These two systems meet at a transition that most roofers don't have experience flashing properly—because most commercial markets don't build this way.
The wedding venue scheduling challenge
Dripping Springs hosts more weddings per capita than any Hill Country town. Event venues book weekends eight to twelve months in advance. Roof work can only happen Tuesday through Thursday—and the property must be clean and photo-ready by end of day in case couples visit for walkthroughs.
Rural acreage access logistics
Most Dripping Springs commercial properties sit on 5-50+ acres accessed by caliche roads, ranch gates, and private driveways. Material delivery, equipment staging, and crew access require advance planning that urban commercial projects never deal with. We assess access conditions before quoting.
Beverage production sensitivity
Wineries, breweries, and distilleries can't have dust, debris, or water contaminating production areas during roof work. Temperature-controlled barrel rooms and fermentation spaces add constraints that standard commercial roofers never encounter. We phase work around production schedules and protect sensitive areas.

How Our Commercial Roofing Process Works
Professional process built for Dripping Springs' destination businesses—where scheduling, access, and production sensitivity matter.
Site & Access Assessment
We visit your Dripping Springs property in person—not satellite photos. Inspect every roof section (metal, flat, transitions), evaluate rural access conditions for material delivery, and understand your building's specific commercial use. Winery, brewery, venue, restaurant—each has different constraints we need to know upfront.
System Recommendation
Based on your building type, each roof section's condition, and Hill Country weather exposure, we recommend the right system or combination. Metal for customer-facing areas, TPO or modified bitumen for flat sections, and detailed transition specifications. Plain-language trade-offs, honest options.
Detailed Proposal
Comprehensive proposal with scope, materials, timeline, warranty, and exact pricing—itemized by roof section for hybrid buildings. Access logistics and delivery plan included. No hidden fees, no surprise additions after work begins.
Schedule Around Your Calendar
Wedding venues: Tuesday through Thursday only. Breweries: around production runs. Restaurants: closed days or pre-service hours. Wineries: between harvest and crush seasons when possible. Your Dripping Springs business doesn't shut down for our project.
Professional Installation
Trained crews with experience on rural commercial sites. Metal-to-flat transition flashing by a team that does both systems—no contractor hand-off. Production areas protected from dust and debris. Daily cleanup so your property stays presentable. Quality materials throughout.
Warranty & Maintenance Plan
Full warranty documentation, maintenance guidelines, and optional inspection programs. On rural Dripping Springs properties, regular inspections are especially valuable—storm damage can go unnoticed for weeks on a property without adjacent neighbors or daily foot traffic near the roofline.
Why Dripping Springs Businesses Choose Us
Dripping Springs commercial roofing requires more than flat-roof skills. Here's what we bring to Hill Country commercial projects.
Metal + Flat Hybrid Expertise
Most Dripping Springs commercial buildings combine standing seam metal with flat membrane sections. We install and repair both systems—and the critical transitions between them—under one contractor and one warranty.
Venue & Production Scheduling
We work around wedding bookings, production calendars, harvest schedules, and restaurant hours. Weekday-only venue work, off-hours brewery access, seasonal timing for wineries—we adapt to your business rhythm.
Rural Access Experience
Caliche driveways, cattle guards, ranch gates, and properties a quarter-mile off the highway are standard for us. We plan delivery and staging logistics before quoting so access is never a surprise or upcharge.
Beverage Industry Awareness
We understand contamination risks in production areas, temperature sensitivity in barrel rooms, and the difference between working over a tasting room versus a fermentation hall. Dripping Springs' beverage businesses get a contractor who respects what's below the roof.
Fully Licensed & Insured
Full commercial liability, workers' comp, OSHA compliant. We handle Hays County and City of Dripping Springs commercial permitting and provide certificates of insurance on request.

We're not a national chain. We've served the Austin area for over 15 years and we've watched Dripping Springs' commercial corridor grow from a handful of businesses to the destination it is today. Our warranties mean something because we'll be here to honor them.
What Dripping Springs Business Owners Say
Real reviews from Dripping Springs commercial roofing clients
Marcus and Elena Voss — Hill Country Cellars
We own a winery on 22 acres off RR 12 south of Dripping Springs. The main building is a 6,200 sq ft tasting room and event space under standing seam metal with a 1,800 sq ft flat-roof commercial kitchen and cold storage wing attached to the back. The flat section had been leaking into the cold storage for a year—we'd been catching water in buckets behind our barrel racks. Two Austin roofers came out. The first said he only does flat roofs and couldn't touch the metal. The second quoted the flat section but wanted us to hire a separate company for the metal-to-flat transition where the leak actually started. Altair handled everything. Replaced the flat TPO membrane, re-flashed the entire metal-to-flat transition with custom fabricated step flashing, and inspected the standing seam (told us it was in great shape—just needed two replaced screws at a ridge cap). They phased the work around our harvest schedule and delivered materials down our caliche road without damaging anything. One contractor, one warranty, zero production disruption. That transition hasn't leaked through two heavy rainstorms since.
Jamie Whitworth — Creekside Ranch Events
We operate a wedding venue on a 15-acre ranch property off US 290. Our main event barn is 5,400 sq ft of standing seam metal with a 2,200 sq ft flat-roof bridal suite and catering kitchen connected by a covered breezeway. After a hailstorm in May, the metal barn had dents on every visible panel and the flat section's membrane was punctured in multiple spots. We had weddings booked every Saturday from April through November. Altair replaced all damaged metal panels on the barn and the entire flat membrane—and did it all Tuesday through Thursday over three weeks. Never touched a weekend. They even cleaned up each afternoon so the property looked presentable for a couple who came Thursday evening for a venue walkthrough. Insurance covered the full project after Altair's supplement brought the claim from $31,000 to $47,500—the adjuster had missed the breezeway flashing and underestimated the metal panel count using satellite measurements instead of on-site counts. Three weeks, zero disrupted events, $16,500 more from insurance than we would have gotten without them.
Chef Daniel Moreno — Salt & Stone Kitchen
I run a farm-to-table restaurant in a converted limestone building near downtown Dripping Springs. About 3,400 sq ft of flat roof—modified bitumen installed when the building was converted from agricultural use eight years ago. In July, a thunderstorm dropped three inches of rain in an hour and water started pouring through the ceiling into the dining room during Friday dinner service. I called Altair's emergency line at 8 PM. A crew was on my roof by 10 PM with tarps and emergency sealant. They stopped the immediate flooding that night. Monday morning they were back for a full assessment. Found that the original conversion contractor never installed enough drain slope—water was ponding across a 15-foot section every time it rained hard. They proposed a tapered insulation system under new TPO to create proper drainage, and scheduled the work for Monday and Tuesday when we're closed. Did the entire job in two days. We opened Wednesday with a new roof section and haven't had standing water since. The conversion contractor cut corners on slope eight years ago—Altair fixed it right.
Kevin M.
Altair re-roofed our office building and managed everything around our business hours so we never had to close. The crew was professional, the TPO membrane they installed looks great, and they handled the permit process entirely. Solid commercial roofing team.
Sandra T.
We manage a strip mall and needed the entire flat roof replaced. Altair gave us a detailed scope of work, stuck to the timeline, and came in on budget. Their commercial team clearly knows what they are doing—no shortcuts, quality materials, and great communication throughout.
Patrick L.
Had Altair handle a roof coating project on our warehouse. They recommended a silicone coating system that has already cut our cooling costs noticeably. The application was done on weekends to avoid disrupting operations. Very accommodating and knowledgeable about commercial systems.

Dripping Springs Commercial Roofing Questions
What Dripping Springs business owners ask before hiring us
- What does commercial roofing cost in Dripping Springs?
- It depends on building type, roof system, and access conditions. TPO and EPDM flat roof systems run $5-$8 per square foot installed. Standing seam metal—the dominant commercial material in Dripping Springs—runs $8-$14 per square foot. Many Dripping Springs commercial buildings combine metal and flat sections: a standing seam metal tasting room or event hall with a flat-roof kitchen, storage wing, or mechanical area attached. A 4,000 sq ft winery tasting room with a 1,200 sq ft flat-roof back-of-house might run $35,000-$60,000 depending on materials. We provide exact pricing after on-site assessment.
- We run a winery/brewery/distillery. Can you work around our production schedule?
- Yes—and we understand why this matters. Beverage production can't stop because a roof is being replaced overhead. Contamination risk, temperature control, and equipment sensitivity all dictate the work schedule. We've roofed tasting rooms while production continued in the back, replaced flat sections over fermentation areas during seasonal shutdowns, and phased metal roof projects around barrel storage access. Tell us your production calendar and we'll build a plan around it.
- My event venue has bookings every weekend. Can you work weekdays only?
- That's standard for Dripping Springs venue work. This area hosts more weddings and events per capita than anywhere in the Hill Country. We schedule all venue projects Tuesday through Thursday—no exceptions. We've completed full roof sections between weekend events without a single booking disruption. We also clean up completely each day so your venue is photo-ready if a couple visits for a walkthrough midweek.
- Is standing seam metal the best choice for Dripping Springs commercial buildings?
- For most Dripping Springs commercial buildings, yes. Standing seam metal dominates here for good reasons: it handles hail better than any membrane, it matches the Hill Country aesthetic that customers expect, it lasts 40-60+ years, and it sheds water quickly on the slopes common in this terrain. The exception is flat or low-slope sections—tasting room kitchens, mechanical rooms, storage wings—where TPO or modified bitumen makes more sense. Most Dripping Springs commercial projects involve both metal and flat systems on the same building.
- My commercial building is on rural acreage with a long driveway. Is that a problem?
- No. This is the norm in Dripping Springs, not the exception. Wineries, event venues, and agritourism operations sit on 10-50+ acre properties accessed by unpaved ranch roads. We bring equipment staged for rural access—we've delivered materials down caliche roads, across cattle guards, and onto properties with no traditional loading dock. We assess access before quoting so there are no surprises on installation day.
- Do you handle Hays County commercial permits for Dripping Springs?
- Yes. Commercial roof work in Dripping Springs requires City of Dripping Springs and Hays County permitting depending on location—some commercial properties are in the city limits, others in the ETJ, others in unincorporated Hays County. Each has different requirements. We determine which jurisdiction applies to your property and handle all permit applications, inspections, and compliance documentation.
- My building is part winery and part event space. Does that complicate the roofing?
- It means you have a hybrid building with different roofing needs under one structure—and that's common in Dripping Springs. The tasting room or event hall typically has a steep-pitch metal roof for aesthetics and span. The production area, commercial kitchen, or storage wing often has a flat or low-slope section. These two systems meet at a transition that requires precise flashing. We handle both systems and, critically, the connection between them. One contractor, one warranty, no finger-pointing.
- How quickly can you respond to a commercial roof emergency in Dripping Springs?
- We have crews in the Dripping Springs-Bee Cave-Wimberley corridor regularly. For active leaks threatening your business—especially beverage production areas, commercial kitchens, or event spaces with upcoming bookings—we typically respond within a few hours. We carry emergency tarping and temporary repair materials. Call our 24/7 emergency line.
- Can you roof an agricultural building that's been converted to commercial use?
- Yes. Dripping Springs has more agricultural-to-commercial conversions than almost anywhere in Central Texas. Old barns become event venues. Ranch buildings become tasting rooms. Equipment sheds become commercial kitchens. These conversions have non-standard framing, mixed materials, and structural loads the original building wasn't designed for. We assess the existing structure, recommend the right system for its current commercial use, and install with attention to the quirks of converted agricultural buildings.
- Should I coat my existing commercial roof or replace it?
- If your building's flat roof section is structurally sound but the membrane is aging, a silicone coating can add 10-15 years at roughly 30-40% of replacement cost. If you have ponding from inadequate original slope, multiple active leaks, saturated insulation, or storm damage at flashings, coating won't solve the underlying problems. For metal roofs showing rust or fastener wear, coatings can extend life significantly if the panels are structurally sound. We assess honestly and recommend what makes financial sense for your specific situation.
- Do you provide maintenance contracts for Dripping Springs commercial buildings?
- Yes. On rural commercial properties, storm damage often goes unnoticed longer because there's no adjacent tenant or passerby to spot a problem. Regular inspections catch hail dents on metal panels, membrane damage on flat sections, flashing separation at metal-to-flat transitions, and debris accumulation in valleys and gutters. We offer semi-annual and annual programs with photo documentation. A $300 inspection prevents a $10,000 repair—especially on rural properties where a small leak can go unnoticed for weeks.
- What warranties do you offer on Dripping Springs commercial roofs?
- Every project includes our workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer's material warranty. For qualifying projects, we can secure NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties covering both materials and labor for the full warranty period—typically 15-25 years for membrane systems and 30-50 years for standing seam metal. Given Dripping Springs' hail exposure and the investment most commercial property owners have in their buildings here, strong warranty coverage is essential.

Your Hill Country Business Deserves a Roof Built for How You Operate
A winery isn't a warehouse. A wedding venue isn't a retail strip. A farm-to-table restaurant in a converted limestone building isn't a corporate office. Dripping Springs commercial buildings are unique—and they need a roofing contractor who understands metal + flat hybrid systems, works around production calendars and wedding bookings, delivers materials down rural ranch roads, and protects what's below the roof while working on what's above it. Free estimates, honest advice, no surprises.
