Comparing Commercial Roofing Bids in Olive Branch, MS

Line Items That Change the Price

• Tear-off or recover: removing old layers costs more but may be required
• Insulation type and thickness, including any tapered insulation for drainage
• Membrane thickness and attachment method (mechanically fastened, adhered or ballasted)
• Replacement of wet insulation and damaged deck, and how it is priced
• New edge metal, coping, drains and penetration flashings versus reusing old ones

If one bid includes new edge metal and another does not, they are not really the same roof.

Questions to Ask Every Contractor

1. Are you licensed and insured in Mississippi, and can you show proof?
2. Who will be on site supervising the crew?
3. How will you protect the interior and keep the building dried in each day?
4. What happens if you find wet insulation or rotted deck?
5. Which warranties apply, and what do they cover in writing?

Large Roofs Need a Plan

Warehouse and distribution roofs in the Olive Branch area can be very large, which magnifies small decisions. Fastening patterns, seam quality and drain placement add up across thousands of square feet. On a warehouse roof replacement, we also plan material staging, crane lifts and work zones around loading docks so trucks keep moving.

How We Write Our Proposals

Our proposals describe the system, the layers being removed or added, detail work at edges and penetrations, deck replacement pricing, and the warranties that apply. Every warranty that applies, workmanship and manufacturer, is spelled out in the document itself. If an alternate system might suit you better, we price it separately so you can compare. For system background, see our TPO and EPDM roofing page and our Mississippi roofing contractor overview.
