Marshall TX Roof Pros provides professional flat and low-slope roofing in Marshall, TX for residential and commercial properties across Harrison County and the Big Cypress basin. The low-slope roofs in Marshall fall into two groups that have almost nothing in common. Downtown there are brick blocks with parapets on all sides and no through-wall flashing anywhere in them. On houses there are porch decks, additions and carports that fall under two in twelve.
The downtown group is where the frame does its work. A parapet built in the eighteen-eighties has no flashing membrane inside the wall, because the wall itself was expected to shed and dry. Screw a termination bar to the inside face of that parapet, caulk the top, and you have built a shelf that holds water against soft brick a foot above the roof. The sealant fails, then the joint, and the leak arrives at the wall.
What we do instead is get the water away from the wall in the first place. That means checking that the drainage layout actually falls toward drains or scuppers rather than toward the parapet base, adding overflow scuppers where none exist, and building the base flashing up onto a raised curb or a proper reglet cut in a bed joint rather than into the brick face.
On houses the failures are simpler and just as predictable. A porch roof at one in twelve laid with three-tab shingles because it looked like a roof, a low addition where a modified sheet was lapped the wrong way, a carport draining back into a headwall. Anything under two in twelve wants a membrane, not shingles, and we will change the material rather than argue with physics.
Product depends on the job. Fully adhered TPO or PVC over tapered polyiso on most commercial work, mechanically fastened where the deck allows and the budget is tight, and torch-applied modified bitumen where we need a durable surface next to foot traffic or a rooftop unit. Every one of them is only as good as its perimeter, which is where the money and the attention belong.
Ponding is the argument we have most often. A quarter inch per foot of fall is the target and a lot of older Marshall roofs do not have it. Tapered insulation can build it in without touching the structure, and it costs less than the third membrane you would otherwise buy. We measure the fall before quoting rather than after the first standing puddle.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — pointing mortar batched to ASTM C270 Type O at 350 psi, counterflashing let into a raked bed joint and pinned with lead wedges, hand-chiseled joint preparation in place of a cut-off wheel, a chimney cricket framed to shed water clear of the flue, cast concrete chimney crown with a drip overhang past the brick face, vapor-permeable pointing that lets a brick wall dry outward — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Marshall and nearby communities including Longview, Hallsville, Waskom, Scottsville.

Materials, equipment and how we do flat and low-slope roofing
The difference between flat and low-slope roofing that lasts and flat and low-slope roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with pointing mortar batched to ASTM C270 Type O at 350 psi, counterflashing let into a raked bed joint and pinned with lead wedges, hand-chiseled joint preparation in place of a cut-off wheel, a chimney cricket framed to shed water clear of the flue, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Marshall job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Harrison County and the Big Cypress basin means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Marshall Chooses Marshall TX Roof Pros
- ✓We survey every roof-to-brick termination with a probe before quoting, and you get those photographs whether or not the job is ours, because the joint depth is the number that decides the scope.
- ✓Pointing mortar is specified by ASTM C270 type and chosen to be weaker than the brick around it, so the joint stays the part that wears rather than the face of the wall.
- ✓Joint preparation is done with hand chisels wherever the joints are thin. A cut-off wheel is faster and it breaks brick edges and overcuts the vertical joints, which you then live with forever.
- ✓We turn down elastomeric coating work on masonry, every time it is asked for, and explain what trapping moisture behind a brick face actually does to the wall over a wet winter.
