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
Wind gusts of 58 mph or more were recorded on 144 days near Tallahassee, higher than 99% of the cities we cover. 27 local roofers are listed, 19 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 Tallahassee 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 large share of Tallahassee'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.

May has the most reports, 8 of 24. Reports run from March to December.
The largest stone in NOAA's record for Leon County fell on April 24, 2021: 2 inches, about the size of a hen egg.
That day brought 1 report, with the largest from Lake Iamonia.
A commercial roof laid before April 2021 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 tornado in the record was rated EF3 on March 3, 2019 and stayed on the ground for 5.07 miles.

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.
