Custom steel rooftop equipment screening for Dallas and DFW commercial buildings - fabricated to your plan, your finish schedule, and your city's screening requirements, with the lead times and local coordination the DFW market demands.
Dallas and the surrounding DFW municipalities require rooftop mechanical equipment to be screened as part of commercial plan review. Requirements vary by municipality - Dallas proper, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Addison, Richardson, and others each run their own plan-review process - but screening is a standard commercial development expectation across the metro.
Rooftop mechanical equipment must be screened and shown on commercial plan submissions. Commercial plan review - screening height, material, and attachment must be specified on drawings. Dallas commercial plan review expects equipment on rooftop plans with screening called out; municipalities across DFW have similar expectations.

High-visibility corridors include Stemmons Freeway (I-35E) - major commercial corridor through Northwest Dallas with rooftop sightlines from the elevated highway, LBJ Freeway (I-635) - the ring road with visibility from Addison to Mesquite, Dallas North Tollway - the prestige spine from Uptown through Plano and Frisco, Central Expressway (US-75) - dense commercial from Downtown through Richardson and Plano, Loop 12 (Northwest Highway), MacArthur Boulevard and Las Colinas Urban Center, Greenville Avenue, McKinney Avenue and Cedar Springs in Uptown. Flat terrain and elevated highways mean screening reads from the road.
Summer heat limits outdoor work hours - rooftop install in Dallas summers often starts at dawn to beat heat indexes past 105°F, Roof surface temperatures on dark TPO and BUR routinely exceed 160°F in July and August, Hailstorm season (March-June) affects scheduling and finish selection, Multiple DFW municipalities mean plan-review details vary, Legacy and Las Colinas campuses often require contractor credentialing and strict access, Traffic on I-35, I-635, and the DNT affects freight windows into Dallas proper.
We are familiar with plan-review processes across the DFW metro - Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Addison, and Richardson included. Our shop drawings address each municipality's submittal expectations. For corporate campuses, we build credentialing and access into the schedule from the start.

Light and medium neutrals (warm gray, tan, beige, cream) that reflect heat and match North Texas brick and stucco. Galvanized substrate with topcoat where moisture or irrigation exposure is higher. Metallic and anodized-match options for Uptown, Legacy, and Las Colinas Class A. Account for hail exposure, wind uplift, humidity during coating, and occasional ice loading in drainage details.
