Census counts 17 roofing establishments with paid employees in Taylor County for 2023, and 13 of them have fewer than 5 employees. Together the 17 employ 83 paid people, and the count excludes self-employed owners without staff. This counts establishments, not companies, and it does not show who takes commercial work. For a commercial bid, ask for the crew size on your job, a reference on a similar building, and who stands behind the membrane warranty if the installer is gone.

Our read: commercial roofing in Abilene
How many of Taylor County's roofing establishments are small shops?
In the Census count for 2023, 13 of the county's 17 roofing establishments with paid employees have fewer than 5 employees. It does not say which of them take commercial work. For a commercial roof, ask each company for its crew size on your building and for references on similar roofs.
What commercial roofing is, and what to ask about it
Commercial roofing covers retail, office, warehouse, church and multi-family buildings. Most of these roofs are flat or low-slope and use single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, built-up roofing or standing seam metal.
Crews, materials and warranties differ from house roofing. A company that is good on shingles may not be the right one for a membrane roof.
Signs you need it
- Ponding water after rain on a flat roof
- Open seams or failed flashing at rooftop units and parapets
- Ceiling stains below drains, units or roof edges
- A roof near the end of its warranty, with a lease or sale coming up
Ask each roofer
- How many buildings like mine have you roofed in the last two years?
- Do you scope the whole drainage path or only the wet spot?
- Can you scan or core the roof to see whether the insulation is wet?
- Who holds the membrane warranty, you or the manufacturer?
What Abilene changes about commercial roofing
Hail of 1 inch or more has fallen near Abilene on more days than in most cities we cover. Membranes can be punctured by hail, so ask for an inspection after a hail day, with core samples if the insulation may be wet.

The county's biggest hail days

That day brought 10 reports, with the largest from Abilene Elmdale Arpt.
A commercial roof laid before June 2014 was in place for the largest stone in the record, so ask for a roof survey and keep it with the warranty papers.

The strongest thunderstorm gust was 96 mph, on September 5, 2023.

Why this page prints no city price for commercial roofs
A commercial roof is priced by the building: its area, membrane, insulation, drainage and rooftop equipment. One range per city would mislead.
Ask each company for a written scope and a price per square foot of roof, so bids can be compared line by line.
