Affected by the recent Storms?

Is Your property at risk?

Severe weather has once again hit North Texas, bringing high winds, heavy rain, and potential damage to commercial properties across the DFW region. While storm damage might not always be immediately visible, hidden issues in your roofing system can lead to costly repairs and even business disruptions if left unchecked.

How Storms Can Impact Your Commercial Roof

Storms can weaken your roof’s integrity in ways that aren’t always obvious. Here’s how different elements of a storm can affect your commercial building:

1. High Winds

Strong winds can loosen or tear roofing materials, including membranes, flashings, and edge metal. This can compromise your building’s ability to resist water intrusion.

2. Heavy Rain & Water Ponding

Excessive rain can overwhelm your drainage system, causing ponding water on flat roofs. If water sits for more than 48 hours, it can lead to membrane deterioration, leaks, and structural strain.

3. Hail & Debris Impact

While hail wasn’t a major factor in this recent storm, high winds can carry debris that can puncture or dent your roof membrane, leading to long-term issues like moisture infiltration and insulation damage.

4. Clogged Drains & Gutter Blockages

Debris buildup from trees, dust, and roofing material can block drains and gutters, preventing proper water flow. Poor drainage increases the risk of leaks and premature wear on your roof system.

Warning Signs of Commercial Roof Damage

After a severe storm, property owners and facility managers should look out for:

✔ Ponding water lasting more than 48 hours
✔ Blisters, cracks, or bubbles in the roofing membrane
✔ Loose or missing flashing and metal edging
✔ Visible punctures or tears in the membrane
✔ Interior water stains on ceilings or walls
✔ Mold or musty odors indicating moisture intrusion

Why You Should Act Now

Even minor roof damage can escalate into major, costly repairs if left unaddressed. A compromised roof can lead to structural issues, insulation problems, energy inefficiencies, and interior water damage.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

The holiday season is a time for giving, and at Empire Roofing, we take pride in supporting our local communities. This year, Ronnie McGlothlin, and the Empire Marketing Team brought smiles to the children of San Miguel Church.

Bringing the Spirit of Christmas to Life

On a special day filled with joy and generosity, Empire Roofing helped create a memorable holiday experience for 85 children from the local community. Each child was gifted:
A custom teddy bear
A festive bag of candy
A gift card to brighten their holiday season

To add to the excitement, Santa Claus himself made a surprise appearance, delighting the children as he handed out gifts alongside Sergio Martinez and the marketing team. The room was filled with laughter, gratitude, and the true spirit of Christmas.

Making a Difference Together

The event was a shining example of how businesses and communities can come together to make a difference. Ronnie McGlothlin’s leadership and the dedication of Sergio Martinez and his team made this day possible. Their commitment to giving back reflects the values that define Empire Roofing: community, compassion, and celebration.

As we look back on this special day, we’re reminded of the power of generosity and the importance of spreading kindness. Thank you to San Miguel Church for allowing us to be part of this meaningful event, and to everyone who helped make it happen.

Here’s to a season filled with joy, love, and the spirit of giving! 🎄

Honoring Empire Roofing’s 10-Year Milestone Employees

Celebrating a Legacy of Dedication

Honoring Empire Roofing’s 10-Year Milestone Employees

At Empire Roofing, we believe in honoring loyalty and dedication. This year, we’re proud to celebrate an incredible milestone for some of our employees who have reached 10 years of service with our company.

Ronnie jokingly replied, “When you’ve been with me for 10 years!” True to his word, as the company grew and prospered, he turned that lighthearted promise into a heartfelt tradition.

Since then, Empire Roofing has proudly gifted 322 Rolex watches to employees reaching their 10-year milestone. This legacy continues to reflect the culture of gratitude and appreciation that defines our company.
