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
Wind gusts of 58 mph or more were recorded on 63 days near Fayetteville, higher than 67% of the cities we cover. 26 local roofers are listed, 5 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.
Wind gusts of 58 mph or more are recorded near Fayetteville on more days than in most cities we cover. On a membrane roof, ask how edges and parapets are anchored, because wind starts at the perimeter.

June has the most reports, 9 of 25. Reports run from February to September.
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Cumberland County fell on June 5, 2016: 1.75 inches, about the size of a golf ball.
That day brought 3 reports, with the largest from Stedman.
A commercial roof laid before June 2016 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 April 29, 2014 and stayed on the ground for 1.72 miles.
The strongest thunderstorm gust was 74 mph, on July 8, 2015.
| Date | Largest hail | Reports | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 5, 2016 | 1.75 in, a golf ball | 3 | Stedman |
| June 25, 2018 | 1.5 in, a ping-pong ball | 2 | Fayetteville |
| February 24, 2016 | 1.5 in, a ping-pong ball | 1 | Hope Mills |
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.
