Frequently Asked Questions About CES Commercial Roofing

CES Commercial Roofing has installed 15 million square feet of commercial roofing across Florida, and the team brings 125+ years of combined experience to every project. The company serves commercial properties throughout its Florida service area, including Tampa and Orlando.

Yes. CES Commercial Roofing holds a Certified Roofing Contractor license, CCC1337739, in the state of Florida, issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The license can be verified through the DBPR license lookup tool at myfloridalicense.com.

CES Commercial Roofing installs and restores TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin), spray polyurethane foam (SPF), silicone coating restorations, modified bitumen, and metal roofing systems. The right system depends on the building’s structure, existing roof condition, budget, and performance requirements. CES Commercial Roofing evaluates each property individually and recommends the system that fits. More detail on each system is available on the commercial roofing services page.

In many cases, yes. If the existing roof is structurally sound but aging or showing wear, a silicone coating restoration can extend its life by decades with the same manufacturer warranty options (10, 15, or 20 years) available for a full replacement. CES Commercial Roofing will give you an honest assessment: if the roof can be restored, they will tell you. If it needs to come off, they will tell you that too.

Yes. CES Commercial Roofing provides repair services for commercial roofs, including leak repairs, storm damage, flashing failures, and damage caused by other contractors (such as HVAC technicians puncturing the membrane during equipment service). A repair visit also gives CES Commercial Roofing the opportunity to evaluate the overall condition of the roof and provide options if the roof is approaching the end of its useful life.

Yes. CES Commercial Roofing provides emergency dry-in services for commercial properties experiencing active leaks or storm damage. The company operates a 24-hour answering service with next-morning priority dispatch. CES Commercial Roofing also provides documentation support for insurance claims, including damage assessments, photos, and detailed reporting.

Yes. CES Commercial Roofing offers an annual maintenance program that includes power washing, debris removal, patching, a comprehensive inspection with full report and photos, and issuance of a maintenance certificate confirming the warranty remains valid. Annual maintenance is required by most manufacturer warranties, and skipping it can void coverage. Maintenance is priced as a flat fee per square foot.

Yes. CES Commercial Roofing provides free, no-obligation roof evaluations for commercial properties. These evaluations include an on-site inspection to assess the roof’s condition and identify areas of concern. There is no charge and no obligation.

CES Commercial Roofing deploys thermal imaging when moisture findings during an inspection warrant deeper analysis. Thermal imaging provides objective, data-driven confirmation of trapped moisture that a visual inspection alone cannot detect. This information directly informs whether CES Commercial Roofing recommends restoration or replacement.

CES Commercial Roofing schedules an on-site visit, inspects the roof, and then provides a detailed, itemized proposal tailored to the property. The proposal outlines the recommended system, scope of work, warranty options, and pricing with no hidden costs. CES Commercial Roofing then works with the property owner or manager to schedule the project around business operations to minimize disruption.

CES Commercial Roofing offers manufacturer-backed system warranties in 10, 15, and 20-year terms, covering both labor and materials. For SPF and coating restorations, a Manufacturer Lifetime Renewable Leak-Proof Warranty on labor and materials is also available. CES Commercial Roofing also provides a “10 and 2” internal warranty: if a leak occurs during the first two years due to workmanship or materials, CES Commercial Roofing fixes it at no charge.

The Category 5 Hurricane Warranty is a manufacturer-certified warranty covering SPF roofing systems against Category 5 hurricane wind conditions. CES Commercial Roofing is one of only two companies in Florida authorized to offer this warranty. The warranty is transferable to new property owners and requires annual maintenance to remain valid. It covers the SPF roofing system, not the building structure itself.

CES Commercial Roofing does not publish fixed pricing because every commercial roof is different. Even two identically sized buildings can have significantly different project costs based on their individual conditions: areas of moisture that need repair, deteriorated seams, penetration details, and other variables. CES Commercial Roofing provides a detailed, itemized proposal after an on-site evaluation so the property owner sees exactly what the project includes and what it costs.

A silicone coating restoration costs roughly one-third the price of a full tear-off and replacement. Despite the lower cost, CES Commercial Roofing offers the same manufacturer warranty options (10, 15, or 20 years) on a coating restoration that are available with a complete roof replacement.

CES Commercial Roofing is headquartered in Palm Harbor, Florida, with an additional office in Tampa. The company’s primary service area covers Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Sarasota, including St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Lakeland, Bradenton, Fort Myers, and surrounding communities across Florida. For larger projects, CES Commercial Roofing will travel beyond its primary footprint. The company currently has roofs in multiple states.

Yes. CES Commercial Roofing carries a standalone workers’ compensation insurance policy that covers every person working on a roof. This is a meaningful distinction: many roofing contractors use employee leasing companies where the workers’ comp policy may only cover a single office employee, leaving the actual roofing crews uninsured. If an uninsured worker is injured on a commercial property, the property owner can face significant liability. CES Commercial Roofing’s standalone policy eliminates this risk for its customers.

CES Commercial Roofing holds an A+ BBB rating with zero complaints on file, a 4.9-star Google rating, and a BuildZoom score of 109, which places the company in the top 5% of 191,428 Florida licensed contractors. BuildZoom’s scoring is based on permit history, qualifications, and objective performance data. CES Commercial Roofing has pulled 46 building permits totaling over $4.5 million.
