Commercial
Free assessment on low slope buildings. Photographed, written up, and honest about whether the roof needs replacing or has years left in it.
Book a free roof assessment
Two questions, then someone calls you back to set up a walkthrough. Usually the same day.
A commercial roof seldom tells you it is failing. Water enters at a seam or a flashing, travels sideways under the membrane, and shows up on a ceiling tile fifty feet away. By the time somebody reports a stain the insulation underneath is often already wet, which is the difference between a repair and a tear-off.
What gets checked
What you get
Most commercial roof decisions get made by somebody who has to justify the spend to somebody else. A property manager, an owner, a school board, a church council.
So the assessment comes back as photographs of the actual failures, a written scope of what is being recommended, and a plain explanation of what happens if conditions change once the roof is opened up. No verbal quotes and no vague allowances.
If the honest answer is that the roof has five years left and needs two repairs, that is what the report says. Selling a replacement to a building that does not need one is how contractors lose the next three buildings the same owner has.
Who writes the report
Assessments are written by people who replace commercial roofs for a living, so the numbers in the report reflect what the work costs. Some of the buildings we've roofed around the Lehigh Valley. Three of them are in Allentown, covered on the commercial roofing in Allentown page.
Commercial inspection questions
Yes, including the report and the photographs.
There is no charge whether the outcome is a repair, a replacement or nothing.
No. An assessment happens on the roof and does not affect anybody inside.
If the work itself goes ahead, phasing and access get agreed before anything starts.
Often, from ponding patterns, soft spots underfoot and the condition at the seams.
Where it matters and the numbers are large, a core sample settles it rather than guessing on a roof worth six figures.
Twice a year is the standard, and after any significant storm.
Most commercial roof failures are small problems that had a year or two to get worse before anybody looked.
A walk of the whole roof, photographs of every failure, and a written report on condition, remaining life and options.
That covers seams, flashings, drains, penetrations and rooftop unit curbs, signs of wet insulation, and the deck where it can be seen. The report says what needs doing now, what can wait, and whether repair, coating, section replacement or full replacement makes sense, so it can go straight into a capital budget.
Yes. Hail and wind damage on a membrane gets documented the way a carrier needs to see it.
Damage on a commercial roof is real even before it leaks. More on how a commercial claim runs is on the storm damage page, and repairs are covered on commercial roof repair.
