How Much Does a Commercial Roofing Project Cost in 2025?

Written by Central Roofing | Serving Los Angeles & Orange County

If you’re a building owner or property manager, chances are you’re wondering: “How much is this going to cost me?” When it comes to commercial roofing, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer — but there are clear price ranges depending on your roof type, material, and overall condition.

At Central Roofing, we’ve completed hundreds of roofing projects across Southern California, and in this guide, we’ll break down what you can expect to pay for a commercial roof replacement or repair in 2025.


Average Commercial Roofing Costs in 2025

Here’s a general price breakdown based on materials and project type:

Roof Type Estimated Cost (Per Sq. Ft.)
TPO Roofing $4.00 – $8.00
PVC Roofing $5.00 – $9.00
Modified Bitumen $4.50 – $9.00
Built-Up Roofing (BUR) $5.50 – $10.00
Silicone Roof Coating $3.00 – $6.00

💡 Tip: These are ballpark figures for materials + labor. Actual cost can vary depending on the size of the roof, current condition, accessibility, and whether a tear-off is needed.


5 Factors That Affect Commercial Roofing Costs

1. Size of Your Roof

Larger roofs cost more, but the cost per square foot often decreases slightly with size due to economies of scale.

2. Type of Roofing System

Some materials are more expensive but offer better durability and energy efficiency. For example, TPO roofing is cost-effective but may not last as long as PVC in certain climates.

3. Existing Roof Condition

If your existing roof has serious damage, ponding water, or needs a full tear-off, expect the price to increase.

4. Local Building Codes

In cities like Los Angeles, energy codes such as Title 24 may require cool roofing systems or added insulation, which can impact cost.

5. Warranty and Workmanship

Longer warranties often come at a higher upfront cost — but offer peace of mind.
➡️ At Central Roofing, we offer warranties up to 30 years.


Should You Repair or Replace?

Sometimes, you don’t need a full replacement. A targeted repair or silicone coating system could save you thousands.
