Answers from Joshua Holmes, Owner-Operator — 20+ years in roofing and contracting.
What kinds of commercial roofs do you work on?
Commercial roofing is a different discipline from residential shingle work, and we treat it that way. We work with TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) single-ply membrane roofing, flat roof systems, and modified bitumen (mod-bit) roofing — common systems on San Antonio apartment buildings, strip retail, and light commercial properties. Each system has its own seam, drainage, and flashing requirements, and we scope every job to the roof in front of us rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
What commercial properties are you looking to work with?
We’re actively soliciting new commercial roofing work across the region — specifically apartment complexes, nursing homes, libraries, gas stations, and shopping centers. If your property doesn’t fit neatly into one of those categories, call us anyway; if it has a flat, TPO, or mod-bit roof, it’s worth a conversation.
Why choose Holmes for commercial roofing?
We’re a GAF Certified, family-owned local crew — registered with the City of San Antonio (HIC-24-00928), fully insured for General Liability and Workers’ Compensation, and rated 5.0 on Google. The same honesty-first approach that built the residential side carries over: a free inspection, a written estimate, and no upselling of work your roof does not need.
Does a commercial inspection cost anything?
No. The inspection and the written estimate that follows it are free and carry no obligation, the same as on the residential side. You end up holding a document describing what your roof actually needs, whether or not you hire us.
How quickly can you get out to a property?
We respond and coordinate an inspection within 24 hours of your call. If a roof is actively leaking into a tenant space, say so when you call — same-day roof checks and tarp-in-24 emergency service are available for active leaks.
Can storm damage on a commercial roof go through insurance?
Storm or hail damage often qualifies for a claim, and our free inspection documents exactly what you’ve got, in writing and with photos, so you have real evidence to give your carrier. We only document — we never file or negotiate a claim on your behalf.
Is financing available on commercial work?
Financing is available through our Synchrony Financial partnership for qualifying projects. Ask about it when you call and we’ll walk through what applies to your property.
Do you handle residential work on the same property portfolio?
Yes — the same crew handles shingle, tile and metal roofing plus exterior work like siding, gutters, fascia and exterior painting. If a property mixes low-slope and pitched sections, it is one conversation and one written scope, not two contractors.
