What happens during a commercial roof inspection?
Crucial steps for planning roofing solutions
So, you’re considering a commercial roofing project? One of the most certain ways to build trust with a commercial roofing contractor starts with a visit to the roof. An on-site roof inspection provides our trained field technicians with a hands-on opportunity to get to know your roof.
Why On-Site Matters
Using your working knowledge of any pain points or concerns, we’ll aim to determine what’s going on with your roof. Whether your roof replacement will be done in sections or in its entirety, precise measurements of the project are a common starting point. Basic perimeter measurements are accompanied by details of each curb, parapet wall, building junction, and changes in elevation.
Detailed plans for each penetration should also be included in the inspection. Commonly, drains, HVAC units, or vents need to be considered. Not only do they all require means to be incorporated into the roofing system, but they also take time and skill to work around.
Rooftops range in complexity and are commonly determined by what is happening inside the building. Manufacturing facilities can have extensive piping across rooftops or cooling units not found on, say, shopping centers or schools.
