Know what is on your roof before it costs you

Most roof problems start where no one is looking. A seam opens. A drain clogs. An edge lifts a little in a storm. By the time water shows up inside, the fix is bigger.

A commercial roof inspection tells you what shape your roof is in. Call (656) 233-6113 or send the form. We call you back and get your inspection scheduled the same day you reach us. A licensed local commercial roofer walks the roof and gives you a written report with photos, plus a written estimate for any work it needs.

When to get a roof inspection

After a hurricane or big storm

Even if nothing is leaking yet. Wind damage at edges and flashing often leaks weeks later.

When there is a leak

To find where the water is really getting in.

Before hurricane season

To fix loose edges and clear drains before the storms come.

Before you buy or lease a building

So you know the roof's real condition before you sign.

When you take over a property

New managers often have no roof records. An inspection sets a baseline.

Before you budget

So next year's roof spending is based on facts, not guesses.

What the inspector checks

The surface

Cracks, blisters, worn spots, punctures and loose areas.

Seams

On single-ply roofs, every seam gets probed for gaps.

Flashing

Where the roof meets walls, curbs, pipes and rooftop units.

Edges and corners

Edge metal and fasteners, which take the most wind.

Drains and scuppers

Clogs, damage and signs of standing water.

Rooftop units

Curbs, panels and the roof around them.

Inside the building

Stains, wet tiles and drips that point to the source.

Wet insulation

By probe, core sample or infrared scan.

The written report

The report is what you are really paying the inspector's time for. A good one shows:

  1. Photos of every problem, marked on a roof map so anyone can find them.
  2. What each problem means, in plain words.
  3. What needs fixing now and what can wait.
  4. A written estimate with a price on each repair line.
  5. How much life the roof has left, and whether repair, coating or replacement makes sense.

You can send the report to your owner, asset manager, board or insurance carrier. It also gives you a record to compare against next year.

Storm damage inspections in Tampa

Tampa has had a busy few years. In September 2024, Hurricane Helene pushed water at Tampa's East Bay tide gauge to 7.2 feet above normal high tide. Two weeks later, Hurricane Milton brought gusts of about 96 mph at Tampa International Airport and 12 tornadoes across the National Weather Service Tampa Bay area.

After a storm, an inspector looks for:

  • Lifted or bent edge metal and loose fasteners
  • Torn or open seams
  • Flashing pulled away from walls and units
  • Punctures from flying debris
  • Rooftop units that moved or tipped
  • Water under the surface

Dated photos help with an insurance claim. Report damage to your carrier quickly. Florida law bars contractors from acting as your public adjuster or offering to waive your deductible, so be careful with anyone who offers.

Infrared and moisture scans

Wet insulation is the hidden cost on a flat roof. It cannot be seen from the top, and a coating or new roof over it will fail. An infrared scan shows wet areas because they hold heat longer at night. Core samples confirm what the scan shows. A scan is worth asking about before you decide between coating, repair or a new roof.

What an inspection costs

The price table on this page shows typical ranges from The Pricer's published cost roundup, not a quote for your building. The inspection and written estimate we set up for repair or replacement work are free.

The next step: a maintenance plan

An inspection is a snapshot. A roof maintenance program keeps the roof checked on a schedule, with a report each visit and small repairs done before they turn into leaks.

Who does the work

Tampa Commercial Roofing Co is a lead referral service. We connect you with one independent local commercial roofing contractor who holds a Florida roofing licence. That contractor inspects the roof, writes the report and estimate, and does the work if you hire them.

Frequently asked questions

Is the roof inspection free?

The inspection and written estimate we set up for repair or replacement work cost you nothing. Stand-alone reports for a sale, a lease, a lender or a full infrared scan are often paid services. Ask before the visit.

What should be in the report?

Photos of each problem with a note on where it is, the roof type and rough age, the condition of seams, flashing, drains and edges, any wet areas found, and a clear list of what needs fixing now and what can wait.

How often should a commercial roof be inspected?

A common plan is twice a year, often spring and fall, plus after every hurricane or big storm. In Tampa, that lines up well with the start and end of hurricane season.

Can the inspection help with my insurance claim?

Yes. Dated photos of storm damage help show what happened and when. Report damage to your carrier quickly. Florida law does not allow a contractor to act as your adjuster or to offer to waive your deductible.

What is an infrared roof scan?

An infrared camera shows warm and cool spots on the roof, usually at night. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation, so wet areas show up. It helps decide between repair, coating and replacement.

Do you inspect roofs for buyers?

Yes. If you are buying or leasing a building, a roof inspection tells you how much life the roof has left and what repairs to expect, before you sign.
