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
55.1% of the housing in Clearwater sits outside single-family houses, higher than 98% of the cities we cover. 24 local roofers are listed, 18 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.
A large share of Clearwater'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 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.

June has the most reports, 3 of 7. Reports run from March to August.
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Pinellas County fell on June 28, 2019: 1 inches, about the size of a quarter.
That day brought 1 report, with the largest from Lealman.
A commercial roof laid before June 2019 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 EF2 on December 16, 2020 and stayed on the ground for 13.11 miles.
The strongest thunderstorm gust was 70 mph, on May 14, 2024.

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.
