How often should we have a commercial roof inspected?

Most commercial roofs benefit from annual inspections. High-traffic roofs, roofs in severe weather areas, or older systems may need bi-annual inspections. After storms, immediate assessment is recommended to document damage for insurance claims.

What's the difference between thermal imaging and regular visual inspection?

Visual inspection identifies obvious defects like missing granules or standing water. Thermal imaging detects moisture trapped inside the roof system that's invisible to the naked eye. Moisture is the leading cause of premature roof failure, so thermal imaging is critical for early detection.

How long does a commercial roof inspection take?

Inspection time depends on roof size and complexity. Most commercial inspections take 2-4 hours. We provide a time estimate during scheduling. Reports are typically delivered within 5-7 business days.

Can you help with insurance claims and warranty issues?

Yes. Our detailed reports with photos and thermal images provide strong documentation for insurance claims. We can help you understand warranty requirements and ensure your maintenance practices comply with warranty terms.

Do you inspect all types of commercial roofing materials?

We inspect TPO, EPDM, PVC, built-up, metal, and hybrid roofing systems. Our inspectors are trained to assess each material type's specific vulnerabilities and best practices.

What if the inspection finds problems? Do you do the repairs?

We provide comprehensive repair recommendations. SPG Roofing also offers repair and restoration services, but our inspection is independent. You can use any contractor—our detailed report guides whoever does the work.

We needed a pre-purchase inspection before acquiring a commercial property. SPG's detailed report with thermal imaging revealed moisture issues that would have cost us $50k+ in repairs. Their report gave us leverage to negotiate the purchase price down.

After a hailstorm, we called SPG for a damage assessment. Their inspector was out the next day with thermal imaging equipment. The detailed documentation helped us with our insurance claim—we recovered the full cost of repairs.
