So, you are considering getting a brand new roof installed for your commercial flat roof of sloped-roof. It’s no surprise to anyone that these are an investment that can tend to have a high overhead cost. However, no two roofs are the same, and there are a variety of factors to consider in the cost of each one. At The Duerson Corporation, we provide free roof analyses and give honest quotes about what goes into a new roof installation. Here are some of the variables that are taken into account when we quote a new commercial roof.
Size of Commercial Roof
When factoring the costs of what a new roof might cost, the size of your roof is one of the largest components to consider. Roofing materials from The Duerson Corporation are priced out per square foot, which means that larger roofs ultimately save more money through economies of scale at around 20,000 square feet. It’s also worth noting that the cost for transporting materials to and from a roof is something that can affect pricing.
Condition of Existing Roof
When re-roofing a commercial building, the removal process of the previous flat or sloped roof is an elemental part of our process. The state of the previous roof can have a large impact on the cost of a new roof. If the framework of your existing roof is in poor condition, we will need to do more to make sure that you new commercial roof won’t warp or cause leaks.

Access To Commercial Roof
Since no two roofs are the same, our access to getting materials on and off of a commercial roof is important to our process. The height and distance of your roof from where we load in materials is something we have to take into consideration. Flat roofs are generally much easier to work with than sloped roofs, as sloped roofs often require us to use special equipment to to move materials safely.
