Lafayette sits near the middle of the cities we cover on every local fact that shapes commercial roofing. 5 companies state this service on their own websites.
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.
Lafayette 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.

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.
