Commercial roofing

What a commercial roof asks for

A flat roof does not shed water the way a pitched roof does, it moves it. Everything depends on slope to the drains, on the seams holding, and on the detailing wherever something comes through the deck. When a commercial roof fails it is almost never the field of the membrane, it is a seam, a curb, a drain or a pipe.

That means an inspection on a commercial building is a different job from a residential one. We check drainage first and look for the ponding that shortens a roof's life more than anything else, then we walk every penetration, every curb around the units, and every termination at the parapet.

• Drainage and ponding assessed, not assumed
• Every seam, curb and penetration walked
• Photographed condition report you keep
• Work staged around your operating hours

How we work with property managers

If you are responsible for more than one building, the useful thing is rarely a quote on the roof that is leaking today. It is knowing the condition of all of them so next year's budget is based on something real.

We will inspect a portfolio and give you a written condition report per building, with photographs and a rough priority order. What you do with it is your call, and there is no obligation to have us do the work.
