We offer free roof inspections to help businesses make the best decisions for their roofing needs. When you work with us, you’re not just another name on a list—you’re a valued local business that deserves quality service and straight answers about your roof’s condition.

Most commercial roofs should be inspected at least twice a year, but certain warning signs mean you need professional eyes on your roof right away.

Benefits of Inspecting Your Business’s Roof

Regular commercial roof inspections deliver significant value that extends far beyond just finding roof leaks. Our routine inspections protect your business, your budget, your property investment, and your peace of mind.

1. Catch Problems Before They Escalate

Small issues like minor roof leaks or loose flashing are inexpensive to fix during routine inspections. Early detection and preventive maintenance are always your best defense against potential emergencies.

2. Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan

Commercial roofs represent substantial investments. Regular inspections help you maximize that investment by identifying maintenance needs before they shorten your roof’s life.

3. Protect Your Business Operations

Unexpected roof failures disrupt business operations, force temporary closures, and damage your reputation with customers. Scheduled inspections let you plan repairs during off-hours or slow periods, keeping your business running smoothly.

4. Lower Long-Term Costs

Preventive maintenance through regular inspections costs a fraction of the cost of emergency repairs. You’ll spend less overall by addressing problems early rather than dealing with extensive damage. Better yet, documented maintenance often qualifies you for better insurance rates.

5. Support Insurance and Warranty Claims

Professional inspection reports provide crucial documentation for insurance claims after storm damage. Without inspection records, you may lose coverage when you need it most.

6. Make Informed Budget Decisions

Inspection reports give you clear information about your roof’s condition and remaining lifespan. You can plan capital expenses strategically, rather than scrambling for emergency funds.

7. Increase Property Value

Well-maintained roofs with documented inspection histories increase your property’s value. When selling or leasing, you can show potential buyers or tenants that your roof and building have been properly cared for, making your property more attractive than those with unknown roof conditions.

8. Meet Responsibilities

Property managers and building owners have legal responsibilities to maintain safe facilities. Regular inspections demonstrate due diligence and help you meet those obligations. This protects you from potential liability issues related to neglected maintenance.

9. Identify Energy Efficiency Issues

Inspections reveal problems with insulation, ventilation, and roof condition that drive up energy costs. Addressing these issues can significantly lower your heating and cooling expenses, delivering ongoing savings.

10. Plan for Future Improvements

Regular inspection reports track your roof’s condition over time. This historical data helps you make smarter decisions about when to repair versus replace, which materials to choose, and how to improve your roofing system’s performance.

Our Commercial Roof Inspection Process

Our systematic inspection process gives you a complete picture of your roof’s condition.

Here’s exactly what happens when you schedule an inspection with Moss Roofing.

Step 1: Schedule Your Free Inspection

Contact us to set up the best day and time for your inspection. We’ll discuss your building size, roof type, and any specific concerns you have. We work around your schedule and business hours to minimize disruption. You’ll receive confirmation of your appointment date and estimated timeframe.

Step 2: Initial Consultation and Exterior Assessment

Our certified roofing experts arrive at your property on schedule and prepared. We start with a brief conversation about your building’s history, any known issues, and your concerns. Then we conduct a thorough exterior examination of your entire roofing system, checking the roof surface, edges, penetrations, and all visible components.

Step 3: Detailed Roof Surface Inspection

We carefully examine every section of your roof, looking for damage, wear patterns, and potential problem areas. This includes checking for cracks, blisters, punctures, missing materials, and signs of previous repairs. We inspect all flashing around roof edges, valleys, chimneys, vents, and HVAC equipment. We also evaluate your drainage system for proper function and debris buildup.

Step 4: Interior Building Inspection

We check your building’s interior for evidence of water intrusion or other roof-related issues. This includes examining ceilings, walls, and attic spaces (when accessible) for stains, moisture, mold, or structural concerns. We look at the condition of your insulation and ventilation to identify energy efficiency issues.

Step 5: Documentation with Photos and Notes

Throughout the inspection, we document all findings with detailed photographs and written notes. This visual record helps you understand exactly what we found and where issues are located. Our documentation also provides valuable evidence for insurance claims or warranty issues.

Step 6: Comprehensive Written Report

After completing the inspection, we prepare a detailed written report that explains our findings in straightforward language. The report includes photos, descriptions of any problems discovered, assessment of their severity, and our professional recommendations. You’ll understand exactly what needs attention now versus what to monitor.

Step 7: Review and Consultation

We meet with you to review the inspection report and answer all your questions. You’ll receive honest recommendations based on your roof’s condition, your budget, and your long-term needs. There’s never pressure—just straight talk about your best options.

Step 8: Provide Cost Estimates (If Needed)

If repairs or other work are recommended, we provide clear, detailed estimates for the services you need. Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees. We can also discuss financing options through GoodLeap to help you manage costs.

Step 9: Follow-Up Support

After your inspection, we’re available to answer additional questions as you make decisions about your roof. We can schedule repairs, help with insurance claims, or set up future inspections. You’re never left wondering what to do next.
