Commercial Roofs in Celina: Planning for Hail From Day One

Celina sits across Collin and Denton counties. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 55 hail reports within 10 miles of the city from 2015 through 2024, with 14 of them 1.75 inches or larger. The biggest stone in that period was 3 inches, on April 6, 2018.

Large flat roofs collect every stone that falls on them. Hail can puncture or bruise a membrane, crush the insulation boards below and dent rooftop equipment. Because the roof is hard to see from the ground, damage often goes unnoticed until water shows up inside, sometimes far from where it entered.

Wind adds its own risk. Gusts that get under a loose edge can peel back flashing and lift membrane along the perimeter. Once the edge opens, rain blows in at roof level, and the damage can spread across the roof quickly if no one notices. Checking edges and coping after storms is a simple habit that prevents bigger repairs.

Many commercial buildings in fast-growing areas are new, and owners assume the roof needs nothing for years. In practice, the first problems usually show up at drains, curbs around rooftop units and perimeter flashing. Foot traffic from HVAC service also wears membranes in the same paths over and over.

A simple plan helps: inspect twice a year and after big storms, keep drains clear, and fix small issues right away. Our commercial roof maintenance plan guide lays out a schedule. When a roof is older or damaged, our article on signs a commercial roof needs replacement helps you judge where it stands.
