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
37.3% of the housing in Murfreesboro sits outside single-family houses, higher than 69% of the cities we cover. 29 local roofers are listed, 8 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.
A large share of Murfreesboro's housing sits outside single-family houses, so flat and low-slope roofs are common. Ask every company about its experience with your type of building, not only with houses.
Wind gusts of 58 mph or more are recorded near Murfreesboro 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.

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.
