What it costs
Typical published ranges for Kansas City. The contractor's written estimate is the price, and the inspection is free.
Commercial roofs are not one job. A warehouse in Edgerton may need a seam repair now and a coating in two years. An office in Overland Park may need a full tear-off. A strip center in Olathe may have three roofs from three different decades.

We connect you with one independent local roofing contractor. They work on flat and metal roofs across the Kansas City metro. They look at the whole roof and tell you what they found, in writing. Then they price each option.

Repair, coat or replace
This is the big question on almost every commercial roof. Here is how the inspector thinks about it.
Repair when the roof is in decent shape and the problem is in one place. A split seam, a hole, a bad pipe boot or a broken drain is usually a repair. Most flat roof repairs run about $300 to $1,100, cost guides say.
Coat when the surface is worn but the insulation under it is mostly dry. A coating seals the whole roof and adds years of life. It costs far less than a new roof. It does not fix wet insulation. Wet spots get cut out and replaced first.
Replace when large parts of the insulation are wet. The same goes for a roof patched over and over, or one near the end of its life. A new roof costs the most. But it resets the clock and comes with a new warranty.
The key fact is how much of the roof is wet. That one fact drives most of the choice. It is why the inspector checks under the surface, not just on top.
Rules to know before you hire
Local permits. Each city in the metro has its own building office. A full replacement usually needs a permit. The contractor should pull it.
Energy code. A full replacement can trigger energy code rules on some roofs. They can require more insulation. Ask if the estimate includes it, since it changes the price.
What moves the price
The table above shows typical ranges from national cost guides, such as HomeAdvisor, Fixr, HomeGuide and a metal roofing supplier. They are typical ranges, not quotes. A square is 100 square feet.
Size, tear-off, wet insulation and access move the price most. Your written estimate lists every line, so you can compare bids side by side. The cost guide has more.

Frequently asked questions
Repair, coat or replace. How do I know which one I need?
It comes down to how much of the insulation under the roof is wet. If most of it is dry and the surface is sound, a repair or coating often works. If large areas are soaked, replacing them is usually the better buy. The inspection tells you which case you are in.
How long does a commercial roof last?
Published guides put TPO at about 20 to 30 years. Metal lasts 40 years or more. EPDM estimates vary a lot, and most land near 20 to 30 years. Hail, drainage and upkeep can change those numbers.
Can a new roof go over the old one?
Sometimes. The building code used in most of the country does not allow a new roof over two or more old ones. It also does not allow one over a water-soaked roof. The inspector checks how many layers you have and if the old roof is dry.
Do I need a permit for a new commercial roof?
A full replacement usually needs a building permit. Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Kansas City, Missouri and the other metro cities each have their own building office. Ask the contractor to pull the permit and show it to you.
Does a roofer need a license in Kansas?
Kansas requires every roofing contractor to register with the Kansas Attorney General. That covers commercial and home roofing. Cities can add their own rules. You can look up a roofer in the state's online directory.
Will the work shut down my building?
Usually not. Crews work in sections and close each one before they leave. Ask for a plan that covers noise, smells near air intakes, parking, dock access and the dumpster.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. The inspection and written estimate for repair or replacement work cost nothing. There is no obligation. Reports for a sale or a lender are usually paid, so ask first if that is what you need.
