Brownsville sits near the middle of the cities we cover on every local fact that shapes commercial roofing. 19 local roofers are listed, 1 license-checked.
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.
Brownsville sits near the middle of the cities we cover on every local fact that shapes this job. No single local condition should drive the bid, so compare written quotes on scope, materials and warranty.

April has the most reports, 17 of 34. Reports run from April to November.
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Cameron County fell on April 2, 2017: 3.01 inches, about the size of a teacup.
That day brought 8 reports, with the largest from Rio Hondo.
A commercial roof laid before April 2017 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 May 13, 2023 and stayed on the ground for 0.45 miles.
The strongest thunderstorm gust was 89 mph, on May 9, 2023.

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.
