Commercial Roofing in Mobile
We repair, replace and inspect the roofs on commercial properties in Mobile, from a single open seam over a shop to a whole roof that has run out of patches.
Tenants, customers and staff keep using the building while we are overhead, so we plan the work around them, fix the roof in its own system and leave you a record of what we did.
Commercial Properties and Roof Systems
Our commercial roofing work covers these properties and roofs:
- Retail centers
- Offices
- Churches and schools
- Apartment and condominium buildings
- Industrial buildings
- TPO, PVC and metal roofs
Modified bitumen roofs and fluid-applied coatings are on that list too, and TPO, PVC and EPDM are the "single-ply" sheets people call a rubber roof or a white flat roof. On an apartment or condominium building the roof is usually common property, so the association or the owner is the one who calls us, not a single tenant.
How Commercial Roofing Is Priced
Commercial roofing is priced by the roof's area, the roof system, the number of penetrations through it and how hard it is to get onto. For a repair, the typical range is
$3 to $14 per square foot for commercial roof repair, depending on the system and how far the damage goes
Every pipe, vent and rooftop unit is another detail to flash, and damage found under the membrane raises the price. We give no number for a roof we have not walked; the exact price comes from the free estimate, in writing, before we start.

A "tear-off" of the old roofing down to the roof deck, then a new system.

- Priced by area and system
Planning a Commercial Roof Job
A commercial job starts with an inspection and a written scope, works around your tenants and the equipment on the roof, and closes with documentation for your records.
A building full of people is not a house with the family away at work. Deliveries, open hours and the units on the roof all shape when and how we work, so we settle that before the first ladder goes up.
Every commercial job we take runs in these four steps:
-
Inspection and a written scope
We walk the whole roof, the field, the seams, the drains and the flashing, and you get the findings and the scope of work in writing before anything is scheduled.
-
A plan around tenants and equipment
We agree on access, timing and where materials stage. Rooftop equipment service often punctures a roof, so the membrane around every HVAC unit gets checked as part of the plan.
-
The work, in the roof's own system
A TPO roof gets TPO, a modified bitumen roof gets modified bitumen, and metal gets metal, so the repair or the new roof belongs to the building.
-
Photos and a written record
Before-and-after photos of each repaired spot and a written list of the work go to you, so an owner, a board or an insurer sees what was done without climbing up.
Scheduled Commercial Roof Maintenance
Commercial roofs are commonly inspected twice a year and after major storms, and the area around each HVAC unit is part of every check.
Technicians who service rooftop units walk, kneel and set tools on the membrane, and that is how a lot of punctures start. The National Roofing Contractors Association roofing manual is the industry reference for how the details on a low-slope roof go together, and those details are what we look at first.
What we look at on a check:
- The membrane around HVAC units
- Seams and pipe penetrations
- Drains and "scuppers", the wall drains
- Standing water, or "ponding"
- Flashing at parapets and walls
- Cracked surfaces, or "alligatoring"
What you can count on
-
Free, no-obligation estimates.
We walk the roof and put the findings and the price in front of you, and the decision stays with you or your board.
-
The whole job quoted before we start.
What we find under the membrane goes in the written estimate before any work, so there are no surprise charges after.
-
A call back the same working day.
We answer the phone or call back the same working day, Monday to Sunday. Calls outside our hours go to voicemail, and we return them the next working morning.
-
On time, and the site left clean.
We show up when we say we will, and the scrap and cut-offs leave with us, not in your parking lot.

Repair or Replace a Commercial Roof
When repeated repairs on a commercial roof have not lasted, replacing it makes more sense than patching it again. We tell you which one your roof needs after we have walked it.

What is considered commercial roofing?
Commercial roofing is roof work on the buildings people run a business in, rent in or gather in: retail centers, offices, churches and schools, apartment and condominium buildings and industrial buildings. Many of those roofs are flat or low-slope systems such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen or a coating, and some are metal.
How much does a commercial roof cost?
Commercial roof repair typically runs $3 to $14 per square foot, depending on the system and how far the damage goes. The roof's area, the number of penetrations and the access move it, and a coating or a targeted ponding fix can cost less than a full replacement. We put the exact price in writing after a free estimate.
What do commercial roofers do?
Commercial roofers repair, replace and inspect the roofs on shops, offices, apartment buildings and other commercial property. Our jobs start with an inspection and a written scope, work around the tenants and the rooftop equipment, and close with before-and-after photos and a written record.
