We get it — unexpected leaks drain time and cash.

Roof leaks and poor water control hit at the worst moments, soaking interiors, disrupting tenants, and crowding your day with urgent calls. Each storm brings the same questions about where the roof will fail next and how expensive the clean up will be. You need a straightforward way to regain control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most commonly searched or frequently asked questions about repairing a commercial flat roof, based on roofing industry resources, contractor FAQs, and common concerns:
How often should a commercial roof be inspected?
expand_more
A commercial roof should be inspected every 6-12 months, but at least once per year. We offer a 1 time, Comprehensive Roof Inspection service that allows us to get familiar with your roof and building, address any immediate concerns, and produce a multi-year plan to keep your building water-tight. After this Comprehensive Inspection is complete, semi or annual inspections will keep you covered!
I have a building that’s never had a full, comprehensive inspection,Why do I need this inspection and subsequent annual inspections if there's no visible leak or problem?
expand_more
Even if your roof isn’t leaking, catching failing sealants, growing damage, and other heavy wear signs before a leak happens can save you a significant amount of money, time and stress! Even small leaks can rot out your building framing members and create a mold issue in spaces that are often impossible to see. In our Comprehensive Roof Inspection, not only will we examine possible leaks around the roof footprint, but also investigate the ceilings and walls on the inside of your building for typical signs of moisture. Once you and our team have the full understanding of your roof system and condition, we can set up a regular inspection schedule to ensure we catch issues before they become a problem!
How do comprehensive and annual inspections help with warranty compliance or insurance claims?
expand_more
One of the benefits of getting a new, warrantied roof is the WellRoof programs from manufacturers such as GAF. In order to stay compliant with the warranty and WellRoof and maintain any additional coverage extensions, you must have a GAF Platinum Elite Commercial Roofing Contractor (That’s us!) inspect the roof annually. If your roof system can be identified, often you can obtain an extended warranty program with our help through many manufacturers, including GAF.
