Signs you need it

The county around Odessa has 3 roofing companies with payroll, lower than 96% of the cities we cover. 24 local roofers are listed, 1 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.
Hail of 1 inch or more has fallen near Odessa on more days than in most cities we cover. Membranes can be punctured by hail, so ask for an inspection after a hail day, with core samples if the insulation may be wet.

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.
Estimates for a 2,000 square foot roof, not quotes. How we build them6 of 24 listed, license-checked first. They are based in Odessa (6). We do not tag companies by service, so ask each one about commercial roofing.
