Facts checked September 22, 2026
Commercial roofing in West Michigan has a long bench. Several of the companies below have been at it since before the first TPO membrane was sold. That's good news for building owners, because it means you can get competing bids from firms with real track records.
We looked for contractors that install the single-ply and low-slope systems commercial buildings actually use, have a West Michigan office, and say plainly on their own websites what they do. Longevity counts, and so do specialties: some of these firms are best on big industrial re-roofs, others on the small commercial building next door to a house they also roof.
Get two or three bids. Ask each contractor which membrane they recommend and why, how the roof will drain, who holds the manufacturer warranty, and what maintenance the warranty requires.
What We Looked For in a Commercial Roofer
Low-Slope Systems
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen and coatings, installed to the manufacturer's specification, because that is what the system warranty depends on.
Drainage Design
Tapered insulation, crickets and drains. Ponding water, not the membrane, is what ends most flat roofs early.
Maintenance Programs
Scheduled inspections with written reports. Most commercial system warranties expect documented upkeep.
A West Michigan Office
A branch close enough to send a crew during a February thaw leak, not a regional office three hours away.
Stated Track Record
Years in business and the systems they install, stated on the company's own site so you can check it.
Sheet Metal Capability
Edge metal, copings and flashings finish a commercial roof. Firms with in-house sheet metal control that detail.
7 Commercial Roofing Contractors in West Michigan
1. Stellar Roofing Company
Kentwood, MIBest for: Small and mid-size commercial buildings that need one contractor for the roof, the coating and the upkeep
We install TPO, EPDM and modified bitumen, restore sound roofs with coatings, and design tapered insulation and drainage so water leaves the roof instead of sitting on it. Commercial maintenance programs are two inspections a year, documented, with a written report you can hand to ownership or the property manager.
Our commercial certifications cover both paths a flat roof can take: Mule-Hide for new single-ply systems, and GAF CoatingsPro for restoring a roof that still has good years in it. When a coating is the honest answer, we say so, because it costs a fraction of a tear-off.
- In business since 2012
- Just over 4,000 homes and 1,600 commercial properties roofed
- Mule-Hide certified for flat and low-slope systems
- GAF CoatingsPro certified for commercial roof coatings
- BBB Accredited, A+ rating

It takes residential, commercial and industrial jobs, so it's worth a call for the in-between buildings, such as a low-slope addition on a house or a small office with a flat roof.

Five Questions for Any Commercial Roofing Bid
01. Which membrane, and why this one?
TPO, EPDM and PVC each suit different buildings. A restaurant venting grease belongs on PVC. A plain warehouse may be best in EPDM or TPO. The contractor should explain the choice for your building.
02. How will the roof drain?
Ask where water goes today and how the new design moves it. Tapered insulation and crickets cost money up front and prevent the ponding that shortens every membrane's life.
03. Recover or tear-off?
Building code often allows one recover layer over an existing roof, but only over a dry, sound deck. Ask whether they'll core-cut or moisture-scan before recommending a recover.
04. Whose warranty, and what does it need?
A manufacturer system warranty needs a certified installer and usually documented maintenance. The contractor's workmanship warranty is separate. Get both in writing.
05. Is restoration an option?
A roof with a dry deck and sound insulation can often be coated for a fraction of replacement cost. Ask a contractor that does both, so the answer isn't driven by what they sell.

Learn MoreBest Commercial Roofers in West Michigan: FAQ
What is the best commercial roofing system for Michigan?
There isn't one answer. TPO and EPDM are the most common single-ply systems on West Michigan buildings. EPDM has the longest track record in cold climates. TPO is white and heat-welded. PVC resists grease and chemicals. The right system depends on the building's use, the deck, the drainage and the budget, which is why a contractor should inspect before recommending one.
How long does a commercial flat roof last?
A well-installed, well-drained single-ply roof commonly lasts 20 to 30 years, and restoration coatings can extend a sound roof further. Standing water, skipped maintenance and failed flashings are what shorten that life.
Can a commercial roof be coated instead of replaced?
Often, if the deck and insulation are dry and the membrane is still sound. A coating adds a new waterproof surface for a fraction of the cost of a tear-off. If the insulation is wet, a coating only seals the problem in, so a moisture survey should come first.
Why is Stellar Roofing ranked first on this list?
Because we wrote it, as the disclosure under the headline says. We've tried to describe every other company fairly, using only what they state on their own websites, and we'd encourage any building owner to get competing bids.
