Investigating and repairing a commercial roofing water leak necessitates advanced skills and training.

We're proud to say that when Atlas National Roofing is on the job, you're working with one of the top repair teams in the industry.
Oftentimes, manufacturers require building owners to uphold a preventative maintenance plan for their roof's warranty.

Having a reliable maintenance program in place is important for your commercial roof. That's why Atlas offers contracts for regularly scheduled maintenance and repair visits. Contact our office today to learn more about how our team can maintain your commercial roof on an ongoing basis.
A functional roof is a crucial component of your commercial building's structural integrity. It will protect you from the elements and add aesthetic appeal to your property when properly maintained. However, when your roof falls into disarray, a variety of problems can occur. Keep your eye out for the following signs that your commercial roof needs repair:
Commercial roofs are made with materials meant for outdoor conditions, but too much moisture or heat can cause blistering that allows moisture in, weakening your roof's structure. When this happens, your roof ages prematurely, thereby reducing its ability to protect you and your customers or tenants.
Standing water can have incredibly damaging effects on your commercial roofing system. It can cause leaks that deteriorate your roof's integrity, which leads to water intrusion. When water intrudes on your property, it can cause a litany of health hazards associated with mold and bacteria. When you spot standing water on your roof, your roof's support system may be seriously compromised, especially with wooden materials.
Having a drainage system that works well is crucial for the health of your commercial roof. If scuppers or drains are clogged with debris and waste, water pools on your roof. Gaps in flashing can also cause water to permeate the building. Additionally, worn seams and cracks can give water access inside. Keep a sharp eye out for signs of clogged drains and gaps in your roof's flashing. If you notice these signs, you could need commercial roof repair.
Facility managers and commercial building owners know they'll have to consider roof replacement eventually. This type of service often requires a significant investment and halts day-to-day operations while the new roof is installed.
Fortunately, restoration is a cost-effective alternative to re-roofing for some commercial property owners. By implementing our advanced roof restoration systems, we can help restore your facility's roof membrane, extending its life and saving your money.
However, there is a window of opportunity for roof restoration. If 25% or less of your commercial roof needs to be replaced, restoration could be an attractive option for you.
Our licensed roofing technicians promptly identify problem areas and provide accurate estimates for resealing cracks, crevices, and gaps. Our team can also help eliminate and prevent roof leaks, further extending the lifespan of your commercial roofing system. We make it a point to carry out our roof restoration projects in a way that doesn't interfere with your daily operations or business productivity.
Atlas National Roofing takes a step-by-step approach to discover whether your property is suitable for restoration:
Gather Info: Our team will gather as much info about your building and its roofing system as possible. If suitable, we'll speak with your management team to determine factors like the age of your roof and the impact of previous repairs.
Inspect from Below: This step involves inspecting your underlying roof deck. That way, we can identify concerns like areas of water penetration and advanced degradation of your current roof deck.
Inspect from Above: We'll "walk your roof" to get an understanding of your commercial roof's overall condition. We want to be sure that restoration is a feasible option for your roof.
Assessment: We'll consider everything we've learned from the previous steps and advise you on your restoration options. We'll touch on your current roof and which coatings are appropriate. We can also talk about environmental concerns, how long restoration will last, the potential for tax credits, and the best restoration options for your geographic location.
With the rise of platforms like YouTube, DIY enthusiasts seem to be everywhere. However, regardless of how many DIY videos you study, your skills won't be on par with a professional commercial roofing contractor. Many DIYers claim they can save money by cutting out the pros, but this tactic usually leads to costly mistakes that cause more harm than good.
If you're in need of quality commercial roofing, it's always best to leave it to a reputable, experienced company like Atlas. Here's why:
Building codes in Roanoke, TX are regulations drafted to govern how commercial construction projects are handled. When you don't adhere to building codes and try to construct a new roof with an untrained crew, mistakes are made codes are violated. That means you'll have to incur all the losses associated with demolishing the roof, as well as the cost of doing it right.
It makes sense, then, to hire a team of professionals to get the job done right the first time. At Atlas National Roofing, our contractors are always up-to-date on the latest commercial building codes to ensure your roofing projects are completed without any hiccups.
This benefit sounds like a no-brainer, but it deserves to be highlighted because of how important it is. Your safety and your customers' safety should be top of mind when you own a commercial property. Hiring licensed, trained commercial roofing experts keeps you safe by:
Having a properly maintained roof day in and day out. When your commercial roof is in good shape and working correctly, you and your customers are safer.
Commercial roof repair is a dangerous job for novices. A quick search online will bring up dozens of cases in Roanoke, TX where DIYers get injured trying to construct or repair their commercial property's roof.
The highest quality craftsmanship only comes with years of hands-on commercial roofing experience. You could watch every roofing DIY roofing video online, but the quality of your work will never match that of a professional with years of work under their belt.
After all, commercial roofing involves much more than a few nails and some elbow grease. You must consider factors like installing ventilation outlets, roof coatings, and drainage options. Every commercial roofing contractor at Atlas is vetted and has years of training and experience, to handle the most complex commercial roofing projects in Roanoke, TX.
Budgets are a big deal in the world of commercial roofing. Going over budget can mean the difference between completing a project and waiting for approval on funds.

Roanoke Hard Eight BBQ owed $867,572 in tips and pay for 910 workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
ROANOKE, Texas — A Texas employer failed to pay its employees nearly $900,000 in tips and overtime pay, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division.
The North Texas restaurant Roanoke Hard Eight BBQ owed its employees all their tips and hourly managers weren’t paid the correct time and a half rate for all hours worked over 40 hours in a workweek. This came out to $867,572 in owed tips and pay for 910 workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Fair Labor Standards Act does not allow an employer or their managers or supervisors to keep tips the business’ workers receive for any purposes, regardless of whether or not the employer claims a tip credit.
Roanoke Hard Eight broke the law by including managers in their tip pool, according to Dallas' Wage and Hour District Director Jesus A. Valdez.
"By doing so, the employer denied tipped workers some of their tips and managers proper overtime wages,” Valdez said. “As businesses struggle to find people to do the work needed to keep operating, employers would be wise to avoid violations or risk finding it even more difficult to retain and recruit workers who can choose to seek jobs where they will receive all of their rightful wages.”
The Department of Labor said its audit recovered those funds after launching the investigation.
Chad Decker is co-owner of Hard Eight BBQ. He shared with WFAA why he got into the restaurant business years ago.
"I have the joy of the people service industry. I've always been a people person. Our families always enjoyed cooking and getting around and have a family setting, and so we started our first restaurant in Stephenville, Texas in 2003," Decker said. "And it's just grown. We've been blessed to be where we're at because it's grown so much. We are such a family and such a family-oriented place to come and dine."
Decker said the restaurant got into hot water by adding managers to their tip share program, which has been against state regulations since 2018. He wants their customers to know now, that every single tip goes to Hard Eight BBQ employees.
"Immediately when we received notification from labor force, immediately we changed our protocol and how the tip shares were distributed," said Decker.
The Department of Labor confirmed that Hard Eight BBQ is in 100% compliance after paying the back wages and tips to their employees, something the restaurant owners want their customers to know.
ROANOKE, Texas (NEXSTAR) – An audit of a barbecue business in Denton County, Texas, revealed the company failed to pay 910 workers their full tips and appropriate overtime pay – a total of $867,572 owed, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division.The department says Roanoke Hard Eight LLC, located in Roanoke, Texas, split tips between tipped employees and hourly managers, a violation of the Fair...
ROANOKE, Texas (NEXSTAR) – An audit of a barbecue business in Denton County, Texas, revealed the company failed to pay 910 workers their full tips and appropriate overtime pay – a total of $867,572 owed, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division.
The department says Roanoke Hard Eight LLC, located in Roanoke, Texas, split tips between tipped employees and hourly managers, a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Additionally, the department says hourly managers weren’t paid their correct time-and-a-half rates for overtime worked.
DOL says Roanoke Hard Eight LLC has “cooperated fully” with the investigation. Nexstar has reached out to Hard Eight but hasn’t heard back yet. Hard Eight BBQ Chief Operating Officer Matt Perry told NBC News the violation was a misunderstanding of 2019 changes to the Wages and the Fair Labor Standards Act, which bars managers and employers from keeping tipped workers’ tips for any reason.
Perry said managers were originally included because they are as heavily involved as tipped workers are. The company said it made immediate changes once it became aware of the violations and gave managers a raise to adjust for the loss of tips.
DOL told Nexstar the business paid about 219 employees directly and disbursed the rest of the back wages to the department for employees they couldn’t locate. The DOL says it’s collected the money owed to these employees.
“Roanoke Hard Eight violated the law by including managers in their tip pool. By doing so, the employer denied tipped workers some of their tips and managers proper overtime wages,” explained Wage and Hour District Director Jesus A. Valdez in Dallas. “As businesses struggle to find people to do the work needed to keep operating, employers would be wise to avoid violations or risk finding it even more difficult to retain and recruit workers who can choose to seek jobs where they will receive all of their rightful wages.”
The Department of Labor says it’s actively looking for former Hard Eight employees who are owed money. It’s encouraging former employees to contact the department at (866) 487-9243 or at its Workers Owed Wages site.
Meanwhile, Perry told NBC News the company has been compliant since August 2021 and verified this once again with the department last week.
DOL says in situations like these, the amount of time a business has to fix the problem and repay its employees depends on the investigation and a number of variables. While DOL says it doesn’t disclose the nature of specific investigations or how they learn of potential violations, it says its Wage and Hour Division focuses on certain types of businesses and industries – particularly low-wage industries – because of high rates of violations and employment of vulnerable workers.

Smiley’s Craft Barbecue in Roanoke is closed permanently, says owner and pitmaster Brendan Lamb.
The restaurant last served its brisket, sausage and other Central Texas style barbecue in mid-September 2021. Lamb confirmed in late November that the restaurant won’t reopen.
After operating as a pop-up in Fort Worth and Ponder, Smiley’s opened in Roanoke in early 2019 to lines out the door. When the pandemic hit, sales fell. By 2021, Lamb appeared on a high-profile food network show called BBQ Brawl featuring chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Symon and Eddie Jackson. Surely, that kind of national attention could give Smiley’s a boost, right?
“We did enough to pay for meat each week and pay our employees, but we were left with nothing,” Lamb says.

“And then the meat prices went up.” It’s a common refrain among pitmasters across the country: They’re struggling under inflated costs of meat, with some restaurants charging customers up to $30 a pound for prime brisket.
Lamb says he wanted to get more creative with Smiley’s menu, but he had to be careful not to make dishes already served by other tenants at Oak Street Food & Brew. He had to stay away from burgers or tacos, for instance, because other businesses at the food hall already sold those.
Lamb was locked out in September 2021 for failure to pay rent.
“We rode it into the ground,” he says. “We kept on thinking it would get better.”
For now, Lamb is consulting for other barbecue joints. He plans to host backyard events teaching barbecue techniques with a company called BBQxo, and he’ll make a return in 2022 at For the Love of Barbecue, a festival in Roanoke.
Smiley’s Craft Barbecue was at 206 N. Oak St., Roanoke. It closed in mid-September 2021.

In light of existing market conditions and rising interest rates, officials from the Peabody Hotel development are considering financing options, according to Interim City Manager Cody Petree.
During Petree’s update to the City Council on Dec. 13, he mentioned construction on the project can not commence until the financing mechanism is finalized and in place. After an agreement was reached for financing in September, the Memphis-based hotel had until Jan. 1 to start construction. That deadline passed without any work.
“The Peabody and the city remain in constant contact and continue to look for the best options for both parties,” Petree said. “The City Council hopes to have more information in the coming months regarding the financing options before they can make any further decisions regarding the project.”
The project, which was initially supposed to have broken ground by April 1, 2020, was first announced in 2017 and approved by the City Council in May 2019, according to previous Community Impact reporting. In addition to market conditions and rising interest rates, another roadblock to the project's timeline has been the COVID-19 pandemic, according to previous reporting.
On Nov. 12, 2019, the council approved a resolution to issue up to $30 million in bonds to help fund the development of the Peabody Hotel and Convention Center. According to Community Impact reporting, the city would pay for the convention center, a portion of the parking garage and related infrastructure improvements, and the developer would fund the hotel portion of the project, which includes 266 rooms, a rooftop pool, two restaurants, two bars and a spa.
The project is estimated to cost a total of $144 million, according to previous reporting.
The Peabody Hotel is a landmark attraction in Memphis, according to the company website. Like the Tennessee location, the Roanoke Peabody Hotel will feature the Peabody Ducks—a flock that will grace the hotel lobby and fountain, according to council meeting documents.
“Our mission for Roanoke has long been focused on creating a unique and authentic sense of place, and we feel that bringing the Peabody brand to Roanoke will be the perfect fit,” Roanoke Mayor Scooter Gierisch said in a 2019 press release.

The founders of Mila & Rose, a wholesaler of children’s apparel and accessories, are expanding their business with a $2.6 million commercial space at 620 Henrietta Creek Road, Roanoke.
Founded in 2017, John and Rachel Kuelbs started the business out of necessity for their daughter.
“We couldn't find comfortable, cute and well-priced baby clothes for our own daughter, Mila Rose,” John Kuelbs said. “You could either go to the big-box stores and get the same plain clothes all the other children had or pay an arm and a leg for expensive boutique clothing. So, using our corporate experience in clothing, sourcing, buying and selling, we founded Mila & Rose to offer cute and comfortable everyday, everywhere boutique clothing at reasonable prices.”
As Mila has grown up, so has the Kuelbs’ business.
“Our line has increased, and we’re constructing the new building to accommodate our growth. Our ultimate goal is to generate feel-good emotions by providing an apparel and accessories line that is carefully curated with our little customers in mind,” John Kuelbs said.
Roanoke has been home to Mila & Rose since its inception. When they considered an expansion, they could not think of going anywhere else.
“We feel Roanoke is a perfect home because it has the perfect family community feel and is centrally located in the DFW area,” he said.
While many in their industry see challenges ahead in 2023 with inflation and a softening job market, the Kuelbs foresee even more growth this year.
“We are adding more children's dresses, other outfits and accessories for little girls to feel special in,” John Kuelbs said. “We attend various shows in Dallas, Las Vegas and Atlanta and are growing our online website presence. We sell wholesale to over 2,000 boutiques and children's stores across the U.S. and sell directly to the public.”
