The county around Canton has 40 roofing companies with payroll, higher than 79% of the cities we cover. 27 local roofers are listed.
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.
The county has more roofing companies with payroll than most cities we cover, so you can compare several bids on a commercial job. Ask each for references on a building like yours.

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.
Estimates for a 2,000 square foot roof, not quotes. How we build them6 of 27 listed. They are based in Canton (3), North Canton (2), Parma. We do not tag companies by service, so ask each one about commercial roofing.
