Commercial & Industrial Roof Inspections

Commercial and industrial roof inspections differ greatly from residential roof inspections in many ways. This being the materials used, slope of the roof, design of the building, drainage and so on. The key to obtaining a comprehensive and professional report is to hire a qualified inspector with experience and education in commercial building structures.

​

Having an inspector equipped with this knowledge and experience allows us to form a general understanding of the entire building and assists us in articulating our findings in the report that better support our observations during the inspection. Performing each commercial inspection with the approach that the entire building envelope is relevant to the roof condition, provides our clients with a more in depth roof inspection and helps us to describe our findings in ways that aren't overwhelming or technically exhausting.

​

Similar to our residential sector, we offer the same inspections and consultative services for commercial structures.
