The county around Gulfport has 8 roofing companies with payroll, lower than 79% of the cities we cover. 17 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.
The county has fewer roofing companies with payroll than most cities we cover, so a commercial job may draw few bidders. Ask early who will bid, and whether nearby companies will travel.

May has the most reports, 10 of 30. Reports run from January to September.

That day brought 8 reports, with the largest from Wool Market.
A commercial roof laid before May 2022 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.
