Written report
The report you keep after the walk
Each commercial roof inspection report holds dated photos of every problem, a condition rating per roof area and a priced repair estimate that separates work needed now from work that can wait. Those prices follow what the repairs in your report typically cost on Queens buildings.
Owners and boards use it to keep a manufacturer warranty in compliance and to set the repair budget and maintenance plan for the year. After storm damage, its photos become the insurance documentation your claim depends on.

Commercial roof inspection questions
Four answers before you book
How often should a commercial roof be inspected?
Once a year, plus after any major storm. Our yearly maintenance plan that includes the inspection keeps that visit on the calendar.
Why does my building need a commercial roof inspection?
Because a failed seam or flashing costs little to fix before water reaches the insulation, and far more after it does. The report also keeps warranty and insurance records current.
What happens during the inspection?
We walk the whole roof, take moisture readings, photograph each defect and send the written report with condition ratings and a repair estimate.
What will fail a roof inspection?
Open seams, pulled flashing, water standing past 48 hours, gaps at HVAC curbs and wet insulation. The table above covers each area.
