Commercial Versico TPO Roof Overlay After Hail Damage in Fort Worth, TX

After hail from a storm damaged the existing modified roof on a commercial thrift store in Fort Worth, TX, the resulting roof damage led to leaks inside the store. The property needed a durable new roofing system while remaining fully operational. Working with Starr Insurance, the project called for a 370-square, approximately 37,000-square-foot Versico TPO roof overlay designed to restore long-term protection without disrupting the store’s normal hours of operation.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof Size: Approximately 37,000 sq. ft. (370 squares)
• Roofing System: Versico 60-mil mechanically attached TPO
• Insulation: 1-inch ISO installed over the existing modified roof
• Insurance Company: Starr Insurance
• Location: Fort Worth, TX
• Project Duration: Approximately three weeks
• Drainage: 24 roof drains installed and flashed

Challenge: Hail Damage and Interior Leaks at an Active Fort Worth Business

The existing modified roof sustained hail damage during a June 2025 storm, resulting in leaks that allowed water into the interior of the thrift store. The damage created a need for a new commercial roofing system that would restore reliable protection to the building and help prevent further water intrusion.

Because the property remained an active retail business, addressing the roof damage also presented an operational challenge. With approximately 37,000 square feet of roofing area, numerous penetrations, 24 roof drains, and perimeter coping to address, the crews needed to complete the roofing installation without interfering with customers, employees, or the store’s normal business hours.

Solution: A Versico 60-Mil TPO Overlay Built for Long-Term Commercial Roof Protection

A Versico 60-mil mechanically attached TPO roofing system was installed over the existing modified roof. The overlay incorporated 1-inch ISO insulation and detailed flashing work to create a complete new roofing system while addressing drainage, penetrations, and perimeter conditions.

• Removing the existing coping cap to prepare the roof perimeter for the new system.
• Installing 1-inch ISO insulation over the existing modified roofing system.
• Installing a Versico 60-mil mechanically attached TPO roofing system across approximately 37,000 square feet.
• Flashing all roof penetrations in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
• Installing and flashing 24 roof drains to support effective rooftop drainage.
• Providing and installing new coping cap with continuous metal cleat for a finished and protected roof perimeter.
• Coordinating roofing operations with the company so the thrift store could remain open without affecting its normal hours of operation.

The commercial roofing installation was completed in approximately three weeks. Throughout the project, the crews coordinated their work around the needs of the operating business, balancing installation efficiency with the practical requirements of an active commercial property.

Result: A Durable Versico TPO Roofing System With Business Continuity

The completed TPO overlay gave the Fort Worth property a new Versico 60-mil commercial roofing system designed to provide durable protection following the June 2025 hail damage and resulting interior leaks. New insulation, properly flashed penetrations, 24 roof drains, and new perimeter coping created a comprehensive roofing solution with attention to protection against water intrusion and effective drainage.

Just as importantly, the thrift store was able to remain open throughout the approximately three-week project without having its normal operating hours affected. The result was a large-scale commercial roofing installation completed with minimal disruption, giving the property owner renewed confidence and peace of mind in the building’s roofing system.

Trust & Proof: Versico Roofing System Backed by Workmanship and NDL Warranties

The project utilized a Versico 60-mil TPO roofing system, with critical roof penetrations flashed according to manufacturer specifications. The new roofing system incorporated detailed drainage and perimeter work, including 24 flashed roof drains and new coping cap secured with continuous metal cleat.

For additional long-term protection and peace of mind, the customer received a two-year workmanship warranty along with a 20-year NDL manufacturer warranty. This combination provides warranty coverage for both the roofing workmanship and the Versico roofing system.

The project also demonstrated the importance of coordination during commercial roofing services. By working around the company’s operational needs throughout the installation, the roofing crews completed approximately 37,000 square feet of new roofing while allowing the Fort Worth thrift store to continue serving its customers during normal business hours.
