What Happens During a Commercial Roof Inspection
By High Country Roofing · Family-owned commercial roofers in Emmett, Idaho
Most roof problems can't be seen from the parking lot or the ceiling. An inspection by someone who knows commercial roofs finds them while they're still small and cheap to fix.
What we check
- Roof surface and overall wear
- Seams and flashings at walls, curbs and edges
- Penetrations: pipe boots, vents and rooftop equipment
- Drains, scuppers and any standing water
- Edge metal and sealants
- Inside the building: ceiling stains and signs of past leaks
When something doesn't add up, like a soft spot or a stain far from any visible damage, we use moisture testing or a core sample to see what's under the surface.
Who does it
Derek, Michael or David Mast walks your roof. All three of us learned this trade on the roof, not behind a sales desk, so you're getting a roofer's read on your roof.
What you get
A photo report showing every problem we found, with repairs ranked by priority and an estimate of the roof's remaining life. If your roof is fine, we'll tell you. It's free, with no obligation and no sales pitch.
How often?
Once a year, plus after major hail or wind storms. Many manufacturer warranties expect documented maintenance, and a yearly inspection record keeps yours in good standing. Our maintenance plans include it. To get started, request a free roof inspection.
Common questions
Do I need to be there for the inspection?
No. If the roof is accessible, we can inspect while we're in your area and send the photo report after.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. No cost, no obligation and no sales pitch. You get the photo report either way, and if your roof is fine, we'll tell you.
