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
The county around Muskegon has 11 roofing companies with payroll, lower than 68% of the cities we cover. 24 local roofers are listed, 3 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.

The largest stone in NOAA's record for Muskegon County fell on August 29, 2019: 1.75 inches, about the size of a golf ball.
That day brought 1 report, with the largest from Twin Lake.
A commercial roof laid before August 2019 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 thunderstorm gust was 85 mph, on April 12, 2014.

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.
