Replacement is not the only option
If the roof is dry and structurally sound, coatings or repair may extend service life for less than replacement. SMI verifies eligibility before recommending restoration.

Planning ranges
Realistic ranges before the written estimate.
These ranges help you budget and compare options. They are not a substitute for an SMI inspection because the final price depends on the actual roof, access, materials, and approved scope.
| Item | Planning range | Main cost drivers |
|---|---|---|
| TPO / EPDM / modified bitumen replacement | $5.50-$14.00+ per sq. ft. planning range | System, insulation, tear-off, deck, access, warranty |
| Commercial roof coatings | $2.50-$5.00 per sq. ft. when eligible | Moisture, seams, prep, coating type, warranty |
| Standing seam / metal panels | Project-specific commercial pricing | Panel system, gauge, trim, structure, access |
| Commercial repair | Scoped after inspection | Leak source, penetrations, seams, drains, roof traffic |
| Maintenance programs | Custom scope | Facility count, inspection cadence, documentation needs |
What changes price
The estimate should explain the roof, not just the total.
SMI keeps pricing tied to visible conditions and photos. That means you can see why the scope includes a repair, replacement, coating, claim item, or upgrade before approving work.
Insulation changes everything
Commercial estimates can change when insulation, R-value, trapped moisture, deck repair, edge metal, drainage, or code requirements enter the scope.
Facility downtime matters
Access, tenant operations, safety planning, weather windows, material staging, and cleanup all affect the schedule and the real cost of commercial work.

Pricing FAQs
Questions homeowners ask before booking.
Commercial roofs are usually measured by roof area, system type, insulation, penetrations, roof height, tear-off, access, and warranty. Square-foot pricing helps owners compare planning ranges before the final scope is written.
Coating can be cheaper when the roof is dry, structurally sound, and has seams or surfaces that qualify for restoration. Wet insulation, trapped moisture, failed decking, or severe membrane failure can make replacement necessary.
Insulation R-value, deck repair, tear-off, crane or lift access, HVAC units, drains, parapet walls, edge metal, penetrations, wind uplift requirements, and warranty length can all change the final estimate.
Yes. SMI inspects the roof, documents current conditions, explains repair, coating, or replacement options, and provides a written scope before scheduling work.
