Warehouse conversion roofing, new-construction townhome systems, and low-slope commercial work east of downtown — minutes from our McKinney Street office.
EaDo — East Downtown — is Houston's clearest before-and-after neighborhood. The district's industrial bones are still visible in the brick and metal warehouses along St. Emanuel and the surrounding blocks, many now converted to breweries, gyms, studios, and event spaces near the soccer stadium. Around them, entire streets of three- and four-story townhomes have gone up over the past fifteen years, most designed with rooftop decks pointed at the downtown skyline. The result is a neighborhood with two very different kinds of roofs, often on the same block.
Houston Roofing works both sides of that mix. Our commercial crews handle the low-slope and metal systems on EaDo's warehouse stock, and our residential crews handle the hybrid flat-and-pitched roofs on its new townhomes — all from an office that sits just across US-59 on McKinney Street.
Warehouse and Conversion Roofing. Older EaDo warehouses commonly carry built-up or modified bitumen roofs, corrugated metal on gabled or bowstring structures, and decades of patchwork. Before a building becomes a brewery or event space, its roof needs a real evaluation — deck condition, drainage, insulation, and code path. Our commercial roofing team handles restoration coatings, overlays, and full replacements.
New Townhome Systems. EaDo townhomes typically pair flat TPO or modified bitumen sections — frequently under rooftop decks — with pitched shingle or standing seam metal accents. Builder-grade installations vary widely in quality, and the flat-to-pitched transitions are the usual failure point. See residential roofing for replacement options.
Metal Roofing. Standing seam suits EaDo's industrial-modern aesthetic and holds up well to Houston wind and sun. We install it on both townhomes and commercial buildings.
Storm Response. Flat membranes take wind-borne debris, parapet coping works loose, and metal panels can lift in hurricane-season winds. Storm damage repair crews inspect, tarp if needed, and document damage for insurance claims.
Mixed-age construction. A 1930s warehouse roof and a 2018 townhome roof fail in completely different ways, and EaDo has both in quantity. The warehouse stock needs assessment-first thinking; the townhome stock needs a contractor who takes hybrid roof geometry seriously.
Rooftop decks everywhere. Skyline views mean deck-over-membrane construction, and deck leaks are the most common townhome complaint in the district. Waterproofing under a walking surface has to be done right the first time, because finding a leak later means lifting the deck.
Open wind exposure. EaDo's flat terrain and low-rise blocks leave rooflines exposed to gulf-driven wind. Edge metal, coping attachment, and membrane securement determine how a roof performs when a storm tracks through Houston.
For commercial and warehouse buildings, we start with a full roof assessment — membrane or panel condition, deck soundness, drainage, and flashings — and give owners a written scope with real options: repair, restoration coating, overlay, or replacement, each itemized. For venues, gyms, and breweries, we schedule around operating hours and events so the business does not close for its roof.
For townhomes, estimates cover both the pitched and flat systems in one itemized quote, including any deck-related waterproofing. EaDo's newer streets have tight shared driveways and close construction, so we plan staging and dumpster placement in advance, protect vehicles and fences during tear-off, and finish each day with a magnetic sweep. Most townhome roofs complete in one to three days.
Either way, every project ends with a final walkthrough, photo documentation of the completed work, and warranty paperwork in hand — so owners, HOAs, and future buyers know exactly what was installed and when.

Yes. EaDo is directly east of our downtown office, and we serve the whole district — the warehouse blocks around St. Emanuel Street, the townhome streets of the East Village area, and the bars, breweries, and venues near the stadiums.
Yes. EaDo's older warehouse buildings commonly carry built-up or modified bitumen roofs on low-slope decks, sometimes with corrugated metal on older bowstring or gabled structures. We assess the existing assembly, deck condition, and drainage before recommending restoration, overlay, or full replacement.
Newer EaDo townhomes typically combine flat TPO or modified bitumen sections — often under rooftop decks with downtown skyline views — with pitched shingle or standing seam metal accents. We service all of these systems and detail the flat-to-pitched transitions where most leaks start.
We inspect for wind and hail damage, document everything with photos, and provide a report you can hand to your insurance company. Townhome parapets and flat-roof membranes take wind-borne debris in storms, and warehouse roofs can lose metal panels or coping — both are claims we help owners document properly.
