Commercial Roofing Decisions (Inspection-First Documentation)

This hub is built for asset owners, facility managers, boards, and stakeholders who need clean decisionsā€”not noise. The Inspector Roofing Protocolā„¢ begins with a documented audit so you can route into the correct path: leak repair, restoration, replacement planning, or storm documentation.

Haag Certified Badge
Verified Expertise: Commercial systems overseen by a
Haag Certified Inspector (HCI #202210026).

Quick answer (Protocolā„¢)

Start with Inspect ā†’ Document. We map the roof, capture conditions at seams/penetrations/drains, separate active intrusion from trapped moisture when appropriate, and package the findings so decision-makers can approve the correct next step.

Leak Diagnostics & Targeted Repair

Protocolā„¢ leak routing: document entry conditions, isolate likely failure points, and execute repairs that stop water intrusion. You get photos + location referencesā€”not guesswork.

Leak Repair Path ā†’

TPO / Single-Ply Systems (Flat Roof)

Seam integrity, terminations, penetrations, puncture risk, drainage behaviorā€”documented in a way owners can review. Best for restoration planning and maintenance control.

Storm Documentation (Commercial)

If a storm is involved, we document distribution, system impacts, and collateral markers when relevant, then package findings for stakeholder review.

Storm / Claim Routing ā†’

Multi-Family / HOA Coordination

Phased planning + communication: access coordination, scope clarity, and documentation that supports board-level decisions.

The Inspector Roofing Protocolā„¢ (Commercial)

Commercial roofs are decision systems: multiple stakeholders, timelines, budgets, and risk. The Protocolā„¢ is designed to create clarity fast while staying safety-first and compliance-safe.

  • 1
    INSPECT: Roof MapDefine sections and critical transitions so every finding has a reference point.
  • 2
    INSPECT: Condition SweepSeams, penetrations, curbs, edges, drains, wallsā€”wide-to-tight documentation.
  • 3
    DOCUMENT: Drainage BehaviorIdentify ponding zones and flow issues that accelerate failure and leaks.
  • 4
    DOCUMENT: Moisture SeparationWhen appropriate, separate active intrusion from trapped/saturated assemblies.
  • 5
    ROUTE: Evidence PacketOrganized photos + summary so owners/boards can review quickly and clearly.
  • 6
    RESTORE: Action PlanRepair, restore, or replaceā€”based on documented conditions and risk control.

Protocol boundary: We document observable roof conditions and provide routing clarity. We do not interpret insurance policy language, negotiate coverage, or promise outcomes.

Code-Compliant Commercial Roofing

We build commercial scopes to meet locally adopted codes, referencing the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) and 2021 IECC (Energy Code), plus state amendments (GA DCA). Final compliance is verified by the AHJ via permitting.

Repair / Restore vs Replace (Commercial)

REPAIR / RESTORE is usually right when:

  • Failures are localized (seams, penetrations, drains, transitions).
  • The membrane/system is stable and failure is contained.
  • Moisture risk is limited/managed (confirmed during audit).
  • You need documented life-extension and fewer recurring leaks.

REPLACE is usually right when:

  • System-wide failure, brittleness, repeated seam issues.
  • High saturation risk or widespread wet assemblies.
  • Recurring leaks after properly executed repair cycles.
  • Storm impacts compromise integrity across broad areas.

Commercial Roofing FAQs

What is the first step under the Inspector Roofing Protocolā„¢? +
Inspect ā†’ Document. Start with a Protocolā„¢ audit so roof conditions are mapped, captured, and packaged for stakeholders. Then we route you to the correct plan: repair, restore, replace, or storm documentation.
Do you service TPO / EPDM and other flat roofs? +
Yes. We document seams, terminations, penetrations, puncture risks, and drainage behavior so decisions are based on evidenceā€”not assumptions.
How do you reduce disruption for tenants and operations? +
The Protocolā„¢ includes planning: staging, access routing, communication cadence, and safety-first execution so facilities stay functional.
Can you help when storms are involved? +
Yes. We document storm-relevant conditions and package findings for review. For routing, use the Storm Damage Hub and Insurance Hub.
Do you offer maintenance planning? +
Yes. Documented maintenance (drains, seams, penetrations, transitions) is one of the most effective ways to extend roof life and reduce leak recurrence.
