What a Commercial Roof Costs in Baldwin County
A PVC or TPO re-roof runs $8 to $11 per square foot. With a full tear-off and new insulation it runs $13 to $16. Your inspection replaces the range with one fixed price.
| Project | Typical range |
|---|---|
| PVC or TPO re-roofPer square foot | $8 to $11 |
| Full tear-off with new insulationPer square foot | $13 to $16 |
| 10,000 sq ft re-roofAt $8 to $11 per square foot | $80,000 to $110,000 |
| 10,000 sq ft full tear-offWith new insulation, at $13 to $16 per square foot | $130,000 to $160,000 |
The 10,000 square foot rows are our per-square-foot ranges multiplied by the roof size. Repairs, coatings, and metal roofs are priced after we inspect the roof.
What Moves the Price
Tear-Off and Wet Insulation
Old tar-and-gravel roofs are heavy and often hold water in the insulation under them. We cut cores before we price, so you know what has to come out. A full tear-off with new insulation runs $13 to $16 per square foot.
Wind at the Edges
Corners and perimeters take the most wind. They get more attachment and heavier edge metal, sized to the design wind speed for your address. That number climbs as you get closer to the Gulf.
Vents, HVAC Units and Parapets
Every vent, HVAC unit, and parapet wall has to be flashed. A small roof with a lot of equipment costs more per square foot than a big open one.
Roofing Commercial Buildings in Baldwin County
Older Downtown Buildings
Older buildings in downtown Foley, like the one above, often have a tar-and-gravel roof behind parapet walls with years of patches on it. We cut cores to see how many layers are up there before we price.
Beach Condos and HOAs
In Gulf Shores and Orange Beach we work with the association and the property manager, phase the work by building, and post notices for residents.
Salt Air
Near the beach, salt air rusts fasteners, edge metal, and HVAC curbs. We check all three on every inspection.
Permits
We pull the permit. Inside city limits that is the city building department. For unincorporated addresses it is Baldwin County. The Foley restaurant roof was permitted through the City of Foley.
From our Foley office at 105 W Camphor Ave #100A we roof commercial buildings in Foley, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Robertsdale, Loxley, and Elberta. The same office handles home remodeling in Foley and Baldwin County.
From Inspection to Warranty
Every commercial roof runs through one contract and one project manager. You make the decisions. We carry the crew, the permit, the inspections, and the warranty paperwork.
Step 1. Roof Inspection and Core Cuts
We walk the roof and check the membrane or panels, seams, flashings, curbs, drains, gutters, and edge metal. We cut cores to see the layers and test the insulation for moisture, and we look at the deck or purlins from inside when we can.
Step 2. Options and a Fixed Price
You get a written proposal with every layer, thickness, fastening pattern, and warranty term listed, plus a fixed price. When repair, coating, recover, and replacement are all real options, we price them side by side.
Step 3. Wind Design and Permit
We size the fastening, perimeter and corner enhancement, and edge metal to the design wind speed for your address, then pull the permit with the city or county that has your building.
Step 4. Schedule Around Your Business
We plan the work around your hours. On occupied buildings we work in sections, protect HVAC intakes, and dry in every section before the crew leaves. Your doors stay open.
Step 5. Install With Daily Updates
Your project manager is on the roof with the crew and sends progress photos. Hidden damage, like rusted purlins or wet insulation, is priced at the unit price in your proposal and approved by you before we fix it.
Step 6. Inspection, Warranty and Closeout
The manufacturer inspects the finished roof before it issues the warranty. You get the warranty, the final inspection, lien waivers, and a photo record of the roof, start to finish.
"Great people, great work and great experience. Great communication by William Fields. Work was done on schedule and exactly as stated. I will use these guys again!"
The License Behind Every Commercial Roof
Wise Builders holds Alabama General Contractor License #60291 and is a Duro-Last approved contractor, which lets us offer manufacturer No-Dollar-Limit warranties up to 30 years, depending on the system. Every commercial roof also carries our 5-year workmanship warranty. We carry general liability and workers' compensation and are BBB accredited.
Alabama requires a general contractor license for commercial work of $100,000 or more. Before you sign with anyone, look the license up on the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors website and ask for a certificate of insurance and a sample of the warranty you will actually receive. We send ours with the proposal.
"Jim Brock is the best project manager ever! He constantly communicated with me about the materials, build and timeline. No stones were unturned! Exceptional work by his team."
Baldwin County Commercial Roofing Questions
How much does a commercial roof cost per square foot in Baldwin County?
A PVC or TPO re-roof runs $8 to $11 per square foot, and $13 to $16 with a full tear-off and new insulation. On a 10,000 square foot roof that is $80,000 to $110,000, or $130,000 to $160,000 with the tear-off. Wet insulation, a lot of rooftop equipment, and wind design near the Gulf push the number up. Repairs, coatings, and metal roofs are priced after we inspect the roof.
What is the 25% rule in roofing?
It is a Florida rule. The Florida Building Code says that when more than 25% of a roof section is repaired or replaced within 12 months, the whole section has to be brought up to current code, with an exception for newer roofs. Alabama does not have that rule. In Baldwin County, the building department that has your address decides what a repair or re-roof permit requires, and we pull that permit.
Do commercial roofers need a license in Alabama?
Yes. Alabama requires a general contractor license for commercial work of $100,000 or more. Ours is Alabama General Contractor License #60291. Look up any roofer on the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors website before you sign.
What is a Duro-Last roof?
Duro-Last is a PVC roof membrane made to your roof's measurements in the factory. Duro-Last says up to 85% of the seams are welded there instead of on your roof, and the flashings for vents and curbs come pre-made. We are a Duro-Last approved contractor. The Foley restaurant roof on this page is Duro-Last 50 mil PVC.
TPO or PVC for a restaurant roof?
PVC. Kitchen exhaust puts grease on the roof, and PVC resists grease and chemicals better than TPO. The Foley Brunch and Supper Club roof on this page is PVC.
Do you repair commercial roofs in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach?
Yes. We trace and repair leaks on TPO, PVC, metal, mod-bit, and built-up roofs across south Baldwin County, and we take emergency calls 24/7. Call our Foley office at (251) 270-5270.
Do you roof condo buildings and HOAs?
Yes. We work with the association and the property manager, phase the work by building, and post notices for residents.
Can I write off a new commercial roof?
Often, yes. Since 2018 a new roof on a nonresidential building can qualify for Section 179 expensing, and the limit for 2026 is above $2.5 million. Whether it fits your building and your tax year is a question for your CPA. We are roofers, not tax advisors.
Who pulls the roofing permit?
We do. Inside city limits that is the city building department. For unincorporated addresses it is Baldwin County.
Where is your Baldwin County office?
