Washtenaw County had 16 roofing establishments with paid employees in Census County Business Patterns for 2023. Solo owners with no staff are not in that figure, and it does not split commercial from residential work. For an Ann Arbor commercial project, ask each bidder for completed jobs on a comparable roof system and building use, and for the role the bidder actually held on them.

How can I check commercial experience beyond the county roofing count?
Census data identifies 16 Washtenaw County roofing establishments with paid employees in 2023, but does not identify which undertake commercial roofs. Request a description of comparable completed work, including the roof system, building use, and responsibilities the bidder actually held.
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 Ann Arbor changes about commercial roofing
A large share of Ann Arbor's housing sits outside single-family houses, so flat and low-slope roofs are common. Ask every company about its experience with your type of building, not only with houses.

The county's biggest hail days
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Washtenaw County fell on May 27, 2015: 2 inches, about the size of a hen egg.
That day brought 14 reports, with the largest from Hudson Mills.
A commercial roof laid before May 2015 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 tornado in the record was rated EF1 on June 23, 2015 and stayed on the ground for 4.33 miles.
The strongest thunderstorm gust was 75 mph, on May 13, 2014.
| Date | Largest hail | Reports | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 27, 2015 | 2 in, a hen egg | 14 | Hudson Mills |
| July 20, 2023 | 2 in, a hen egg | 3 | Ypsilanti |
| June 15, 2023 | 1.75 in, a golf ball | 10 | Delhi Mills, $1 million damage |
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.
