There’s no set price for commercial roof repair due to the diversity of roof size, pitch, types of damage and the cost and feasibility of patching and restoring damage. Despite the many variables involved, there are factors that business owners can use to help them gauge potential repair costs.

One thing business owners can assume about their commercial roof repair, regardless of their building’s unique characteristics, is that it will cost considerably more than what it would cost to repair their home’s roof – but the price should be proportional to the service performed.

At Billy Harris Roofing, we put our customers’ needs first, delivering first-class services with reliably long-lasting results business owners can trust.

How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Commercial Roof per Square Foot?

This cost will largely depend on the roofing material – PVC and TPO tend to be the more expensive materials followed by modified bitumen and EPDM, which is often the lowest-cost solution. There are other factors that can influence your quote, including the slope of your roof, the extent of the damage and your roofer’s labor rates. Where your property is located will also significantly influence commercial roofing services.

Dallas–Fort Worth and other Texas metro areas are near the middle of the pack nationally for commercial maintenance and upkeep costs. It’s nowhere near as expensive as some of the big coastal metro areas thanks to possessing a friendlier regulatory environment and healthy market competition, but we’re still a major metroplex with significant demand. 

At Billy Harris Roofing, we’re flexible to your budget and will customize our roofing repair and replacement services to arrive at the ideal solution for your roof and your business. Developing a commercial roof repair or replacement package that works for your situation is important to our team. 

Why Do Commercial Roofing Services Cost More Compared to Residential Roofing?

The size difference, the distinct and comparatively complicated shapes of commercial roofs and the increased manpower and labor cost to get jobs completed properly can result in increased costs.

Commercial roofs often use specialized materials designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and harsh weather conditions. These materials tend to be more expensive than those used in residential roofing and cost more to repair. Many commercial roofs are also flat or nearly flat, having a significantly lower pitch than residential roofs. This can increase the risk of pooling water, exacerbating water leaks and curtailing the roof’s lifespan.

Moreover, commercial buildings are subject to more stringent building codes and regulations than residential properties, often involving additional permits, inspections and documentation – not to mention warranty concerns. Roofing contractors may need to carry higher insurance coverage and provide longer warranties to comply with industry safety standards, as the size, height and functional concerns on commercial roofs may increase the risk of worker injuries[1] . This can add to the overall cost of the project.

Are Commercial Roof Repair and Replacement Expenses Tax Deductible?

Yes. While a residential roof repair generally isn’t tax-deductible due to being perceived as a “home improvement” expenditure, it’s a different story with commercial roof repair. Both commercial roof repair and replacement expenses typically qualify as business equipment improvements and are tax deductible – which can help offset the notable price difference between residential and commercial roofing and help business owners avoid depreciation.

Roof replacement, in particular, can qualify as a "qualified improvement property" (QIP) under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This allows businesses to potentially deduct the full cost of improvements that affect the interior and exterior of a building.
