At Premier Restoration and Construction, we understand how critical your commercial roof is to your business. It protects your property, inventory, employees, and customers from the elements. But without regular inspections, small problems can go unnoticed—turning into costly repairs or even business interruptions. That’s why professional commercial roof inspections are one of the smartest investments you can make.

Here’s what you can expect when our team performs a thorough roof inspection for your business.


Initial Consultation and Walkthrough

Before we step foot on the roof, our experts review your building’s roofing history and discuss any concerns you may have. We also walk the exterior perimeter to check for visible warning signs, such as drainage issues or cracks, that may affect your roof’s performance.

Structural Evaluation

During the inspection, we assess the integrity of the roof’s structure. This includes checking the deck, slope, drainage systems, and rooftop equipment. Our goal is to identify any sagging, pooling water, or other risks that could compromise safety and durability.


Surface Condition Inspection

Next, we carefully examine the roofing surface. For flat or low-slope commercial roofs, our team inspects the membrane, seams, and flashing for cracks, punctures, or blisters. Addressing these issues early can prevent leaks and extend the lifespan of your roof.

If we spot problems, we may recommend commercial roof repair to restore full protection.


Checking Drainage and Gutters

Proper drainage is vital for commercial roofs. Our inspectors ensure gutters, drains, and scuppers are clear and functioning correctly. Standing water can lead to serious structural damage if not addressed promptly.


Flashings, Seals, and Edges

Roof edges, vents, skylights, and HVAC units are common leak points. We thoroughly inspect flashings and seals around these areas to confirm they are tight and intact. Even small gaps can cause water intrusion over time.

If your roof shows extensive wear, we’ll walk you through your options for commercial roof replacement.


Interior Inspection

Sometimes, the first signs of roof damage appear inside the building. We check ceilings and walls for stains, water damage, or leaks to confirm whether issues are present below the surface.


Detailed Reporting and Recommendations

After the inspection, you’ll receive a complete report that includes photos, notes, and recommendations. At Premier Restoration and Construction, we go beyond identifying problems—we provide solutions, whether that means simple maintenance, repairs, or planning for a future replacement.
