What is the difference between Minor, Major, and Replace cost tiers?

Minor repair addresses localized deficiencies with targeted fixes that buy time. Major repair involves significant rehabilitation of 20 to 50 percent of a system. Replace is full system removal and new installation. These align with ASTM E2018 PCA cost categories: Immediate, Short-Term, and Long-Term Capital Replacement.

How accurate are commercial repair cost estimates?

These are Texas-calibrated planning-level ranges based on 2025 contractor data, appropriate for CapEx budgeting and due diligence planning. Actual costs vary by site conditions, spec, and contractor. A formal ASTM E2018 PCA from a licensed inspector provides defensible, site-specific cost documentation required for lender submissions and investor reporting.

What is the cost per square foot for a commercial inspection in Texas?

Commercial inspection pricing in Texas generally ranges from $0.085 to $0.24 per square foot depending on property type and complexity. Simple industrial/warehouse properties are at the lower end; complex medical, data center, or multi-tenant properties are at the higher end. TexaPlex pricing includes diminishing per-square-foot rates for larger properties.

Why is TexaPlex pricing lower than national inspection firms?

TexaPlex is a network of owner-operated, Texas-licensed independent inspectors — not a national firm with corporate overhead and billing multipliers. Our inspectors' businesses depend on their reputation, which means personal accountability, direct communication, and the same ASTM E2018 quality at rates typically 20–35% below large national engineering firms and PCA companies.

What is NOT included in a commercial inspection price?

The base ASTM E2018 PCA price does not include: mold testing or sampling, foundation elevation surveys, geotechnical assessments, Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, drone aerial surveys, infrared thermal imaging, ADA compliance audits, elevator load testing, or specialty engineering sub-scopes. These are available as add-on services, often bundled at a reduced combined rate.

Understanding the Tiers

Minor, Major & Replace — What Each Means

These tiers align with how licensed commercial inspectors categorize findings in ASTM E2018 PCAs. Knowing which tier applies to your property is the foundation of any CapEx plan.

● Minor Repair

Targeted Fix. Buys Time.

Minor repair addresses localized, isolated deficiencies — a seam patch on a TPO roof, crack filling in a parking lot, a blown capacitor on an HVAC unit, or spot caulking at a storefront. These are small-scope interventions that stabilize a system without addressing the full condition. In ASTM PCA terms, these align with Immediate Cost-to-Cure items: deficiencies needing attention now to prevent further deterioration.

● Major Repair

Significant Rehab. Extends Life.

Major repair involves meaningful rehabilitation of a portion or subsystem — typically 20–50% of the total system scope. Examples include replacing a section of TPO on a large roof, overlaying failed sections of a parking lot, or replacing a compressor bank on a large RTU. In PCA terms: Short-Term Capital Items requiring prioritized action within 1–3 years.

● Full Replace

End of Life. New System.

Full replacement means complete removal of the existing system and installation of new — appropriate when a system is at or beyond economic repair. ASTM E2018 identifies these as Long-Term Capital Replacement items in the Estimated Probable Cost (EPC) table. These numbers most materially affect acquisition negotiations and reserve funding requirements.

Frequently Asked

Commercial Repair & Replacement Cost Questions

How accurate are these cost estimates?

These are Texas-calibrated planning-level ranges based on 2025 contractor data, roofing industry references, HVAC pricing, and paving cost guides. Appropriate for early-stage CapEx budgeting and investor underwriting assumptions. They are not substitutes for contractor bids or a formal ASTM E2018 PCA. Actual costs vary by site conditions, system complexity, contractor availability, and project timing.

How much does TPO roof replacement cost in Texas?

TPO replacement runs $5.50–$9.50 per SF installed in Texas, depending on membrane thickness, insulation requirement, tear-off, and complexity. A 10,000 SF roof typically costs $55,000–$95,000 for full replacement. Minor repairs run $800–$3,500. Major repairs covering 20–40% of surface area run $4,000–$18,000+. Use the Roofing category estimator above for a size-specific range.

What does parking lot resurfacing cost for a commercial property?

Sealcoating (minor maintenance) costs $0.12–$0.30 per SF. Asphalt overlay runs $2.00–$4.50 per SF in Texas. Full repave (tear-out and replace) costs $5.50–$9.00 per SF. Striping adds $500–$1,500 for a typical 50-space lot. A 20,000 SF lot full repave runs approximately $110,000–$180,000.

How much does commercial HVAC rooftop unit replacement cost?

Commercial RTU replacement costs $15,000–$28,000 for small 3–5 ton units, $25,000–$55,000 for medium 6–15 ton units, and $45,000–$100,000+ for large 20–50 ton units. All ranges include crane, curb adapter, labor, and permits. Note: 2025 EPA regulations are phasing out R-410A refrigerant in new commercial equipment.

What is the difference between this estimator and an ASTM E2018 PCA?

This estimator is a free planning tool for budgeting and preliminary due diligence. An ASTM E2018 Property Condition Assessment is a formal, site-specific inspection report from a licensed commercial inspector that documents actual observed conditions, system ages, remaining useful life, and Estimated Probable Costs (EPCs) acceptable for lender submissions and investor packages. Lenders and institutional investors require a PCA — not an estimator — for underwriting. TexaPlex delivers ASTM E2018 PCAs across Texas with 24-hr quote turnaround.

What does ADA compliance remediation cost for a commercial property?

ADA compliance costs range from $500–$3,000 for minor signage and restriping, $3,000–$15,000 for ramp additions and path-of-travel corrections, and $15,000–$50,000+ for full site compliance programs. ADA deficiencies are among the most commonly documented findings in Texas commercial PCAs. Use the ADA Compliance category above for item-specific estimates.

What commercial property systems should be in a CapEx plan?

A comprehensive commercial CapEx plan covers all nine categories in this tool: roofing, HVAC, parking lot, concrete and flatwork, plumbing, electrical, ADA compliance, building envelope, and ceiling tiles. ASTM E2018 PCAs formally document all systems with Estimated Probable Costs organized into Immediate, Short-Term, and Long-Term categories. Use this tool for planning, then commission a PCA for defensible documentation.

Why do ceiling tiles show up so often in commercial PCAs?

Ceiling tiles are among the most visible indicators of deferred maintenance — and the most reliable indicator of hidden problems. Water-stained, sagging, or missing tiles typically signal active roof leaks, HVAC condensate issues, or plumbing failures above the ceiling plane. In Texas commercial properties, humidity-driven mold growth in ceiling assemblies is also a common finding. Tile replacement is relatively inexpensive; identifying and correcting the source is the real cost.
