From oilfield service shops to medical offices and churches, RISE Roofing installs, restores and replaces commercial roofs across Alice and Jim Wells County.
Alice once billed itself as the Hub City of South Texas, and its commercial buildings still reflect that role: oilfield service yards and metal shop buildings, medical and professional offices, banks, churches, schools, and the shopping and dining that draw people in from across Jim Wells County. RISE Roofing provides commercial roofing in Alice for all of them, from a single leaking shop roof to a complete re-roof of a multi-building campus.
Alice sits about 44 miles west of Corpus Christi, inside the 50-mile radius our Corpus Christi office serves. We bring the same crews, materials and warranty to Alice that we bring to jobs in the city.
Each project begins with a free inspection and is covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty once it is complete.
Alice began in 1883 as a railroad depot called Bandana on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway, took its name from Alice Gertrudis King Kleberg, daughter of Richard King, and incorporated in 1904. It grew into a major cattle-shipping point and became the seat of Jim Wells County after the county was organized in 1911. The Handbook of Texas records that the Alice oilfield was discovered in 1938, and by 1985 more than 250 oil and mineral companies operated in the area, alongside manufacturers of oil-well chemicals, fiberglass and food products.
That economy left Alice with a large share of pre-engineered metal buildings: service shops, equipment barns, warehouses and yard offices, many of them topped with exposed-fastener roofs that have seen years of sun and rain. Downtown and along the main commercial roads you also find masonry buildings with flat roofs, strip centers, clinics and offices, plus churches and school buildings with steeper roofs. The town of roughly 17,800 people still works as a shopping and service center for the surrounding ranch and oil country, so a lot of roof area serves a lot of daily traffic.
Not every tired roof needs to come off. After a free commercial roof inspection, we sort the roof into one of three paths and explain why in the written quote.
Repair fits a roof that is in good shape overall with a few specific failures: an open membrane seam, a torn flashing at a wall, a loose curb around a rooftop unit, a rusted-through panel, or screws that have backed out of a metal roof. Commercial roof repairs are scheduled as regular projects, and getting the roof looked at early keeps a small leak from soaking insulation and ceiling tiles.
A coating fits a roof that is weathered but still watertight underneath, with a dry deck and insulation. This is common on aging metal shop buildings and older membranes. We clean the surface, secure fasteners and seams, reinforce the trouble spots and apply a fluid coating that renews the waterproofing and reflects the South Texas sun. As a certified GAF roof coating partner, RISE can offer qualifying coating systems with a GAF NDL coating warranty against water intrusion for 10 to 20 years, scaled to coating thickness. Learn more in our silicone roof coating guide.
Replacement fits a roof with wet insulation, a deteriorated deck, chronic ponding or repeated leaks in many places. A commercial roof replacement removes the old system, repairs the deck, corrects slope and drainage and installs a new roof matched to the building.
TPO is a white, heat-welded single-ply membrane that suits most flat and low-slope roofs in Alice. Its reflective surface helps with cooling loads in a hot inland climate, and a 20-year manufacturer material warranty is available on the TPO systems we install.
PVC earns its place on roofs that see oils, grease or chemical exposure, such as restaurant kitchens and some industrial shops. Our TPO vs. PVC article compares the two side by side.
Modified bitumen is a tough, layered asphalt roof that stands up to frequent foot traffic around equipment and access hatches.
Standing seam metal is a durable answer for sloped shop roofs, churches and offices. Our crews roll-form panels on site to the full length of the roof slope and install snap-lock or mechanically seamed panels. Hidden clips and fasteners replace the exposed screws that cause so many leaks on older metal buildings.
Inland South Texas roofs take a steady beating from heat and ultraviolet light, and the damage builds slowly. Membranes chalk and shrink, sealants at penetrations crack, and coatings thin out where water sits. A roof that gets checked once or twice a year, and again after a major storm, usually lasts longer than one that is only looked at when the ceiling stains.
Our commercial roof maintenance guide goes into more detail on a simple yearly routine for building owners.
We handle the local permit paperwork for your roofing project. Jim Wells County is not one of the 14 coastal counties in the Texas Department of Insurance's designated catastrophe area, so roofs in Alice are not part of the TDI Windstorm Inspection Program and do not need a WPI-8 certificate. If you own property in both Alice and a coastal county, we can walk you through how the rules differ.
Homeowners in Alice can use the same team for a new roof in Owens Corning shingles, metal or stone-coated steel. See our residential roofing options and roof financing through Acorn Finance, a third-party lender, for qualified homeowners.
Yes. Alice is about 44 miles west of Corpus Christi, inside our 50-mile service radius. We inspect, repair, coat and replace commercial roofs there, and we re-roof homes as well.
No. Jim Wells County is not among the 14 coastal counties in TDI's designated catastrophe area, so the TDI windstorm inspection and WPI-8 do not apply in Alice. A local permit still applies, and we handle that paperwork.
Often, yes, if the panels are still solid and the building stays dry inside. We tighten or replace fasteners, seal laps and apply a coating. Qualifying GAF coating systems can carry a GAF NDL coating warranty of 10 to 20 years, depending on thickness.
On flat and low-slope roofs, TPO is the system we recommend most often because it is reflective and cost-effective. Metal buildings and sloped roofs usually call for standing seam metal or a coating restoration.
