We install Versico VersiWeld TPO, VersiGard EPDM, and VersiFlex PVC single-ply roofing on Houston commercial and industrial buildings for Gulf Coast weather.
- Versico Single-Ply Systems We Install in Houston
- We install Versico roofing systems on low-slope commercial and industrial buildings throughout the Houston area, from manufacturing and distribution facilities near the Port of Houston to office and medical buildings inside the loop. Versico builds three single-ply membrane lines that cover almost every flat roof we work on here: VersiWeld TPO, VersiGard EPDM, and VersiFlex PVC. The membranes are only part of what Versico makes, though. The line includes the polyiso insulation, cover boards, adhesives, fasteners, and edge metal that turn a sheet of membrane into a roof, and that full-assembly approach is what lets us build something that holds together through a Gulf Coast year.
- Most of the buildings we re-roof in this market are wide, flat, and exposed, with acres of membrane sitting under direct sun and rooftop equipment running most of the year. That kind of roof punishes weak details. The seams, the perimeter, and the drainage decide how long it lasts far more than the brand name printed on the membrane. Versico gives us a system where those parts are engineered to work as a unit, which matters when a roof has to take summer heat, spring hail, and the wind and rain that come with hurricane season in Harris County.
- VersiWeld TPO for Reflectivity and Welded Seams
- TPO is the membrane we install most often on Houston flat roofs, and VersiWeld is Versico's version. Its surface is reflective white, which pushes solar heat back off the roof during the long stretch of the year when rooftop temperatures sit well above the air temperature. On a building that runs air conditioning from March into November, that reflectivity takes a real load off the rooftop units and slows the heat aging that breaks down darker membranes from the top down.
- The seams are where TPO earns its place in a wet climate. VersiWeld sheets are joined with a hot-air weld that fuses the two layers into one continuous membrane, with no adhesive bond line at the seam to let go when water sits on the roof after a heavy rain. We install VersiWeld in standard and heavier gauges depending on the building. On roofs that see foot traffic, carry a lot of equipment, or face higher hail exposure, we step up to the thicker membrane so there is more weathering surface above the reinforcement.

- Distribution and warehouse roofs across the north and southeast industrial corridors
- Retail, grocery, and big-box buildings where summer cooling cost is a year-round line item

VersiGard is Versico's EPDM, a synthetic rubber membrane with a decades-long field record in commercial roofing. It handles ozone, ultraviolet exposure, and the temperature swings between a January cold front and an August afternoon without getting brittle, and it ships in wide sheets that put fewer seams across a large roof. We reach for VersiGard on Houston buildings where an owner wants a proven membrane with a long service life and minimal upkeep, and where the cooling penalty of a darker roof can be handled through insulation or a reflective coating down the road.
EPDM is also forgiving on cluttered roofs. The flashing details work cleanly around the pipes, curbs, drains, and equipment stands that crowd most commercial roofs in this market, and the cured rubber stays flexible across our full temperature range. We install VersiGard fully adhered or mechanically attached depending on the deck type and the wind exposure of the site, and on the right building it is one of the most cost-effective long-run membranes Versico offers.
VersiFlex PVC for Grease and Chemical Exposure
Some roofs in this region sit under exhaust that destroys ordinary membranes. Restaurant kitchens vent grease across the roof deck. Plants and processing facilities near the Ship Channel put oils and chemical fumes into the rooftop air. For those buildings we install VersiFlex, Versico's PVC membrane, which resists grease, animal fats, and many of the chemicals that would slowly degrade TPO or EPDM in the same spot.
VersiFlex shares the hot-air-welded seam of VersiWeld and comes in a reflective white surface, so it keeps the summer cooling benefit while standing up to a harsher rooftop environment. We use it on food-service buildings, on facilities with greasy or chemical-laden exhaust, and on roofs where an owner wants the toughest welded membrane available for the conditions on that particular building.

Wind Uplift, Hail, and the Edge of the Roof
On the Gulf Coast the attachment and the perimeter decide whether a roof survives a storm. Wind finds the edges and corners of a low-slope roof first, and a failed edge or termination can peel back a field that was otherwise sound. We build Versico assemblies with the manufacturer's edge metal, termination bars, and the heavier fastening patterns called for in the perimeter and corner zones, because that is where uplift forces concentrate when a coastal system moves through the region. Getting those zones right is what keeps the membrane on the building when the wind comes up. Talk with a Houston commercial roofing team
