Evansville sits near the middle of the cities we cover on every local fact that shapes commercial roofing. 25 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.
Evansville 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, 7 of 21. Reports run from January to July.

That day brought 2 reports, with the largest from Evansville.
A commercial roof laid before May 2018 was in place for the largest stone in the record, so ask for a roof survey and keep it with the warranty papers.

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 25 listed. They are based in Evansville (6). We do not tag companies by service, so ask each one about commercial roofing.
