Advanced Waterproofing for Demanding Environments

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) roofing is one of the most durable and energy-efficient solutions for commercial flat roofs in South Texas. At Rio Roofers, we specialize in the installation, repair, and replacement of PVC roofing systems across the Rio Grande Valley and as far north as Corpus Christi. Whether you're managing a retail space, warehouse, or office complex, our PVC systems are designed to deliver long-term performance under the region's harsh UV rays and frequent storms.

Why Choose PVC Roofing?

PVC roofs are ideal for flat or low-slope commercial buildings that need long-term waterproofing, chemical resistance, and energy-efficient performance.

Durability

PVC membranes are heat-welded, forming a seamless, watertight surface that resists cracking and shrinkage.

UV Resistance

Its reflective white surface reduces cooling costs by bouncing off sunlight.

Chemical Tolerance

Especially useful for restaurants or facilities where oil or grease may exhaust onto the roof.

Low Maintenance

Minimal upkeep required compared to asphalt or built-up roofing systems.

PVC roofing is a smart investment for property owners looking to reduce long-term costs and boost energy efficiency.

The PVC Roofing Process

When you choose Rio Roofers for your PVC roofing needs, we handle every step with precision:

  1. Inspection & Quote

    We begin with a thorough remote site inspection using drone technology to evaluate roof condition, drainage, and compatibility. On-site inspections are available for a service fee of $99-$199, depending on complexity.

  2. Tear-Off (if needed)

    Old roofing materials are removed to prevent trapping moisture.

  3. Surface Prep

    Insulation board and vapor barriers are laid as needed.

  4. Membrane Installation

    PVC sheets are rolled out and heat-welded together to create a seamless, watertight seal.

  5. Edge & Detail Work

    All corners, seams, and penetrations are reinforced with flashing to ensure zero leakage.

We only use commercial-grade PVC membranes from trusted brands that meet or exceed Texas building codes and wind uplift standards.

Benefits of PVC Roofing in South Texas

South Texas weather presents intense sun, high humidity, and hurricane-force winds. PVC is uniquely suited for these conditions:

Energy Savings

Reflective roofing surface reduces A/C load in hot cities like McAllen and Brownsville.

Storm-Ready

Resists wind uplift, especially important in Corpus Christi's storm-prone zones.

Fire Resistance

PVC membranes are fire-retardant and meet Class A fire ratings.

Environmental Impact

Many systems are recyclable and contribute to LEED certification.

PVC outperforms traditional tar-and-gravel systems, especially in high-foot-traffic areas or where roof-mounted equipment is present.

Is PVC the Right Choice for Your Roof?

PVC is best suited for:

  • Commercial buildings with flat or low-slope designs
  • Facilities that release grease or chemical exhaust
  • Properties aiming for ENERGY STAR or LEED performance
  • Owners wanting minimal maintenance and high longevity

May Not Be Ideal For

It may not be ideal for steep-slope or purely residential homes — in those cases, metal roofing or asphalt shingles might be better.

Still unsure? Our roofing specialists will remotely assess your structure and budget to recommend the ideal system.

Common Applications for PVC Roofing

PVC is used across a wide range of industries and property types in the Rio Grande Valley and Corpus Christi:

Retail Centers

Shopping plazas and malls favor PVC for its white, reflective appearance and resistance to roof stains.

Restaurants

The membrane's resistance to fats, oils, and chemicals makes it ideal for fast-food or dine-in establishments with roof exhausts.

Warehouses

PVC holds up well under HVAC equipment and walking traffic for maintenance crews.

Hospitals & Medical Offices

Clean surface and low maintenance makes it ideal for sensitive environments.

PVC also adapts to complex roof shapes and details, making it easier to install around vents, skylights, and parapets.
