Signs you need it
- Ponding water after rain on a flat roof
- Open seams or failed flashing at rooftop units and parapets

Wind gusts of 58 mph or more were recorded on 95 days near High Point, higher than 91% of the cities we cover. 24 local roofers are listed, 6 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 High Point 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.
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.

May has the most reports, 16 of 48. Reports run from March to September.
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Guilford County fell on March 16, 2025: 2 inches, about the size of a hen egg.
That day brought 12 reports, with the largest from Broadview.
A commercial roof laid before March 2025 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.
