Metal Roof Retrofit to Stop Leaks in Weatherford, TX

A multi-tenant commercial strip mall in Weatherford, TX was experiencing ongoing roof leaks. The owner needed a long-term fix that would not disrupt daily business operations. Filed through Insurors Indemnity Company, the project required a solution aligned with the covered scope while keeping tenants open and safe.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof size: ≈60 squares of new retrofit panels; ≈15 squares of targeted panel replacement
• System: Roof Hugger retrofit with Galvalume PBR metal panels; 3″ metal building insulation
• Insurer: Insurors Indemnity Company
• Location: Weatherford, TX

Challenge: Stop leaks without disrupting tenant operations

The existing metal roof had spray foam adhered to the panels. A conventional tear-off would have required removing drop ceilings, protecting interiors, reapplying foam, and reinstalling ceiling grids—guaranteeing interruptions for every tenant. The property needed a leak-stopping approach that avoided interior tear-out and preserved daily business activity in Weatherford, TX.

Solution: Roof Hugger retrofit with added insulation and improved drainage

To minimize disruption and deliver durable performance, a Roof Hugger system was installed over the existing R-panel deck. This structural sub-framing accepted new Galvalume PBR panels and allowed insulation to be added as part of the retrofit. Color-matched metals and balanced guttering improved water management and curb appeal while maintaining full tenant access.

• Install approximately 2,000 sq ft of Roof Hugger runners/battens along purlin lines to create the retrofit framing.
• Install about 6,100 sq ft (≈60 squares) of 3″ metal building insulation over the existing decking.
• Install approximately 6,100 sq ft of new Galvalume PBR panels over the existing R-panel main roof line.
• Replace approximately 1,390 sq ft (≈15 squares) of Galvalume PBR panels in targeted areas.
• Install new front cap and rake trims in coco brown for a finished, uniform edge.
• Install 140 linear feet of coco brown gutters with seven 12-foot downspouts on the front elevation.
• Install 160 linear feet of galvanized gutters with four 12-foot downspouts on additional elevations.
• Install new Galvalume hip caps at transitions.
• Caulk and paint at repair interfaces for weather-tightness and a clean finish.
• Replace two 2×6 vertical garage door trims and remove the rear patio covering.

Result: Dry interiors, minimal disruption, and a serviceable metal roof

The retrofit eliminated active leaks and improved water shedding, protecting tenants and inventory without taking units offline. Added insulation helped stabilize interior comfort and reduce energy loss. Because the system sits above the existing deck, future service is straightforward—panels can be removed and replaced without disturbing tenant spaces. The owner gained long-term performance and peace of mind while businesses in Weatherford, TX continued operating.
