When to Schedule Commercial Roof Inspections
Most property managers call us for a commercial roof inspection after a storm or when they notice signs of damage, but inspections shouldn’t only happen in emergencies. Regular inspections help extend the life of your roof, avoid costly repairs, and meet insurance or warranty requirements. They’re also a smart move before buying, selling, or refinancing a property.
For most properties, we recommend inspections twice a year: once before hurricane season and once after. You should also schedule a check after any major storm, even if there’s no visible damage. Catching small issues early is far less expensive than dealing with major problems later.

What’s Included in a Commercial Roof Inspection
We don’t just spend a few minutes walking the roof and glancing around. We perform a thorough, top-to-bottom inspection to identify any issues that could compromise your building. Our team takes the time to assess both the interior and exterior of your roofing system, ensuring no detail is overlooked. Below is a breakdown of what’s included in our commercial roof inspections.
Exterior Areas We Examine
Roof problems don’t always start from the top. That’s why we begin our inspection inside the building. We check for water stains, mold, sagging, and any other signs of hidden leaks or moisture damage. If there’s attic access or drop ceilings, we’ll lift tiles or enter crawlspaces to get a complete picture of your roof’s condition from the inside out.
Interior Structural Checks
Once on the roof, we examine everything from the membrane and seams to the flashing and drains. We check for common issues like blistering, punctures, ponding water, storm damage, and material deterioration. Skylights, vents, coping, and edge metal are all inspected to ensure they’re watertight and secure. If your building has rooftop equipment like HVAC units or solar panels, we’ll assess how well they’re sealed and confirm they aren’t compromising the integrity of the roofing system.
Documentation and Written Report
Every inspection comes with the option of a detailed written report outlining our findings. We include clear photos and honest recommendations for any needed maintenance or repairs. Whether we find minor wear or something more serious, you’ll have the information you need to make a smart decision. Our reports are ideal for insurance documentation, budget planning, or simply keeping a record of your roof’s condition.
Methods We Use For Roofing Inspections
No two roofs are exactly the same, which is why we use a variety of tools and techniques for our roofing inspections. The method we choose depends on the type of roof, its age, the materials used, and the condition of the building. Our goal is always the same: to give you the most accurate picture of your roof’s health so you can make informed decisions.
Core Sampling for Deeper Analysis
For older commercial roofs or systems with multiple layers, we may take a small core sample to see what’s happening beneath the surface. This allows us to count the number of roofing layers, evaluate the type of decking, and measure the thickness of the insulation. It’s one of the most reliable ways to assess hidden damage or determine whether a full tear-off or overlay is appropriate.
Roof Inspection Services For All Types of Roofs
We inspect all major commercial and industrial roofing systems, no matter the size or complexity of your building. From flat membranes to steep-slope tile, our team has the experience to evaluate any roof and spot signs of trouble early. Whether you manage a small storefront or a sprawling warehouse, our team provides certified commercial inspections that help protect your property.
Flat
We check for common issues like ponding water, membrane splits, seam separation, and deteriorated flashing. Our team also inspects drainage systems to ensure water is flowing off the roof properly.
Metal
We look for rust, loose panels, worn fasteners, seam failure, and degraded coatings. We also check for movement or gaps caused by temperature shifts and expansion.
Tile
We inspect for broken or slipped tiles, underlayment deterioration, and signs of water infiltration. We also look at the flashing around roof edges and penetrations.
Shingle
We examine for missing or curled shingles, granule loss, exposed fasteners, and any signs of aging or water intrusion. Flashing and valleys are a main focus of the inspections as well.
Industrial Roof Inspections Available
Industrial buildings often have larger square footage, more rooftop equipment, and strict structural requirements. We provide detailed inspections for warehouses, factories, and distribution centers, focusing on safety, moisture control, and system longevity. Our team is OSHA trained and understands how to navigate complex industrial environments while minimizing disruption to your operations.
What Happens After the Inspection?
Once we complete your roof inspection, we take the time to explain our findings in plain language. You won’t get confusing jargon or pressure—just honest insight. You’ll receive a written report with photos, perfect for planning maintenance, filing insurance claims, or supporting formal building inspections. That might mean simple maintenance, minor repairs, or no action at all. If we do find damage, we’ll walk you through your options so you can move forward with confidence.
- Reporting: Every report includes photos, notes, and an overview of your roof’s condition. It’s a helpful tool for planning, budgeting, or filing an insurance claim.
- Emergency Tarp: If your roof has active leaks or storm damage, we can install an emergency tarp right away to prevent further issues until permanent repairs are made.
- Roof Repair: For damage that can be fixed, we offer professional repairs using quality materials and proven methods. Our goal is to restore your roof’s performance quickly and affordably.
- Roof Replacement: If repairs aren’t enough, we also provide full roof replacements. We use top-rated materials and back our work with up to 20-year labor and material warranties through Mule-Hide.
- Maintenance: Staying ahead of roof problems is easier with routine maintenance. We offer custom maintenance plans to help extend the life of your commercial roofing system.
