Establishments with fewer than 5 employees account for 63.6% of Outagamie County's roofing establishments with paid employees in the Census Bureau's 2023 count. The count excludes owners working without employees and does not identify commercial specialists. For an Appleton commercial project, ask bidders to describe who will supervise the assigned crew and coordinate roof access with the building's occupants.

Our read: commercial roofing in Appleton
Does the county's roofing employment data show who can staff my commercial project?
The Census Bureau counted 22 roofing establishments with paid employees in Outagamie County in 2023. That total does not describe the crew available for your project. Ask for a staffing plan naming the site supervisor and explaining how subcontracted work will be coordinated.
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?

When hail is reported in Outagamie County
September has the most reports, 24 of 68. 99% of reports fall from April to September; the other 1 come in March (1).
The county's biggest hail days
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Outagamie County fell on September 7, 2021: 4.5 inches, about the size of a softball.
That day brought 20 reports, with the largest from Applecreek.
A commercial roof laid before September 2021 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 14, 2017 and stayed on the ground for 6.97 miles.
The strongest thunderstorm gust was 75 mph, on July 13, 2015.
| Date | Largest hail | Reports | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 7, 2021 | 4.5 in, a softball | 20 | Applecreek |
| June 5, 2019 | 2.5 in, a tennis ball | 7 | Stephensville |
| April 12, 2022 | 1.75 in, a golf ball | 11 | Greenville |
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.
