Warwick Roof Pros provides professional commercial roofing in Warwick, RI for residential and commercial properties across Kent County and the Greenwich Bay shore. Rhode Island is one of a small number of states carrying a roofing-specific license, and it is emphatically not the same thing as the general contractor registration. Chapter 5-73 puts commercial and industrial roofing under the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board as a wholly separate instrument.
The requirements sitting behind it are specific and checkable by anyone who asks. A written examination administered through PSI. A ten-hour construction safety course completed by field personnel. Twelve hours of continuing roofing education inside every two-year licensing cycle. And a general liability certificate at two million dollars per occurrence with the board itself named on the certificate. Every one of those is a document somebody can produce on request.
The continuing-education line is the one genuinely worth remembering, because it is what makes the credential live rather than a single exam somebody sat and passed a decade ago. It is also a question a building owner can put to a bidder where the paperwork rather than the salesman supplies the answer, and where a vague reply tells you most of what you needed to know.
Scope is set by the structure. Section 5-73-1 treats nonresidential structures as commercial and industrial buildings, excluding residential buildings of four dwelling units or fewer, so a Warwick office, church, school, plaza, self-storage row or warehouse sits squarely inside the chapter with no real argument available about it. A two-family on the same street sits outside it entirely, which is why one company can hold both credentials and use them on different days.
Under that license we handle EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen recovers and tear-offs, metal re-roofs over purlin frames, parapet and coping metal, roof drains and overflow scuppers, equipment curb and penetration flashing, and maintenance programs that produce a photographed written report at each visit rather than a signed sticker on the roof hatch. We also cut and patch cores on maintenance visits rather than reading a roof from the hatch.
The practical instruction for any Warwick owner reading this page is to ask for two numbers, not one. The contractor registration number under chapter 5-65, and the commercial roofing license number under 5-73. They are separate registers, they are separately verifiable, and neither one of them substitutes for the other in any way. A bidder holding only one of them is telling you which buildings they may lawfully work on.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — counterflashing top legs set into a saw-cut reglet, three-eighths-inch plywood sheathing from the post-war build-out, a secondary scupper cut through a parapet above the drain line, slate units reset with a bib and a hook fastener, a skylight curb standing eight inches proud of the membrane, mechanically attached TPO fastened through a gypsum cover board — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Warwick and nearby communities including West Warwick, East Greenwich, Coventry, West Greenwich.

Materials, equipment and how we do commercial roofing
The difference between commercial roofing that lasts and commercial roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with counterflashing top legs set into a saw-cut reglet, three-eighths-inch plywood sheathing from the post-war build-out, a secondary scupper cut through a parapet above the drain line, slate units reset with a bib and a hook fastener, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Warwick job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Kent County and the Greenwich Bay shore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Warwick Chooses Warwick Roof Pros
- ✓We schedule the coverings on a building before quoting it, because Rhode Island attaches its roofing credential to the covering rather than to the address on the deed.
- ✓One contract holds the membrane, the metal, the sealing and the transition between them, so the seam where these roofs actually leak has a named owner.
- ✓Fastener type and spacing go into the contract in writing, where you are entitled to check them with a tape measure instead of taking anyone's word for it.
- ✓We core low-slope roofs before recommending a coating, and we will tell you to spend nothing at all when the insulation underneath comes back wet.
The standards behind commercial roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The commercial roofing work we do in Warwick follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every commercial roofing project in Warwick gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
