FAQ

Common questions

Do you inspect large commercial roofs?

Yes — up to 100,000 sq ft in a single visit, TPO / EPDM / PVC / BUR / modified bitumen / standing seam / R-panel. Bigger portfolios I schedule as a multi-day walk with per-building reports for capex planning.

Can you do IR moisture scans?

Yes. IR scans are done at dusk on a dry day after 6+ sun-hours (moisture below the membrane cools slower than dry insulation). I mark wet zones with paint and cross-check with core cuts. Report includes the IR image overlay and per-zone repair vs replace recommendation.

Do you compete with the roofing contractor's 'free' inspection?

I'm not competing — I'm the reason you should never budget a commercial reroof off a free inspection. Contractors are incentivized to recommend the scope they can sell. I have no reroof to sell. You get a defensible report your board, lender, or asset manager can rely on.

Get your commercial roof inspection scheduled

I've watched too many neighbors sign contracts they didn't understand for roofs they didn't need. That stops with a written report they own.
