Mid-West Roofing Systems provides commercial roofing services in Dickinson, North Dakota, including repair, maintenance, inspection, single-ply roofing, spray polyurethane foam roofing, and elastomeric roof coatings. Because the right scope depends on the condition of the existing roof, the useful first step is an inspection and a written explanation of the work being proposed.
Property owners comparing contractors should review more than the total price. A commercial roofing bid should identify the service, investigation, system or materials, exclusions, scheduling, occupied-building protections, and responsibility for any warranty coverage that is actually offered. Call Mid-West Roofing Systems at (701) 500-9399 to discuss an on-site estimate.

- Leak detection and repair
- Roof inspection

Comparing Commercial Roofing Bids
Two proposals can have similar totals and still describe different projects. Review each bid against the same set of questions before deciding whether the prices are actually comparable.
- Confirmed services: Does the proposal clearly state whether it covers inspection, repair, maintenance, coating, installation, or another defined scope?
- Investigation scope: What did the contractor inspect, and what remains unconfirmed? A documented roof inspection can provide a clearer starting point for the proposal.
- Material or system specification: Does the bid name the proposed roofing system or material type and describe the relevant installation or repair approach?
- Exclusions: What work is not included, such as concealed substrate repair, wet-insulation replacement, disposal, drainage changes, or other conditions that could change the scope?
- Scheduling: What sequence and timing assumptions are included, and how will weather delays or schedule changes be communicated?
- Occupied-property protection: How will entrances, tenants, inventory, loading areas, rooftop equipment, and normal business operations be protected or coordinated?
- References: If references are offered, do they relate to comparable commercial work or roof systems?
- Warranty responsibilities: If workmanship or manufacturer/system warranty coverage is offered, does the proposal identify who provides each part, what it covers, and the written conditions or exclusions?
A lower total does not automatically mean a better or worse proposal. It may reflect a narrower scope, different preparation, different materials, or different exclusions. The useful comparison is between bids that describe reasonably similar work.
Follow-Up Questions That Reveal Incomparable Bids
Ask the same questions of each bidder when important details are missing. What roof system or repair method is being proposed? Which preparation steps are included? How will concealed deck or insulation damage be documented and approved? Which drainage or flashing details are part of the base scope? What happens if weather changes the schedule? If warranty coverage is offered, who is responsible for it and where are the written terms?
If one contractor can answer those questions from the written proposal and another cannot, the two bids are not yet describing the project at the same level of detail. Clarification should come before the owner treats the totals as direct alternatives.
Established Commercial Roofing Company
Mid-West Roofing Systems was founded in 2012 and is locally owned and operated, with North Dakota as its primary market. Those facts provide useful company context, but the project decision should still be based on the roof condition and the written scope being proposed.
On-Site Estimates
When evaluating Mid-West Roofing Systems or another commercial contractor, look for a scope that matches the inspection findings, a clear explanation of the recommended work, a schedule and communication plan, and a process for documenting changes if new conditions are discovered.
Commercial Roofing Services Estimate
When you call Mid-West Roofing Systems, the office team schedules a time for a technician to inspect the roof. The company then reviews the available options and answers questions about the proposed work. That process gives the property owner a roof-specific scope that can be compared with other written proposals instead of relying on general service descriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I compare between two commercial roofing bids?
Compare the confirmed service, investigation scope, system or materials, preparation, exclusions, schedule, occupied-property protection, references, and any written warranty responsibilities that are actually offered.
Why can two bids for the same roof be difficult to compare?
They may include different preparation, materials, repair areas, exclusions, or concealed-condition assumptions. Ask both contractors to clarify those differences before comparing the totals directly.
What is the difference between workmanship and manufacturer warranty coverage?
They are separate responsibilities when both are offered. The proposal should identify who provides each coverage, what the written terms include, and any conditions or exclusions rather than assuming every project includes the same warranty.
Do you offer on-site estimates in Dickinson?
Yes. Mid-West Roofing Systems offers on-site estimates, with a technician inspecting the roof before the company reviews the available options with the property owner.
