What We Check
A documented commercial roof inspection from Coastal Roofing of Georgia covers every component of the roof system. We walk the entire roof, inspect every penetration, document every defect with photos, and deliver a written report with a budget-planning section so you know what's coming and when.
Standard inspection checklist (each item documented with photo):
Where wet insulation is suspected — typically from past leaks, ponding, or owner reports — we add an infrared (IR) moisture survey. The IR scan shows exactly where moisture has migrated under the membrane so repair scope can be precisely defined.
Frequency
Commercial roofs in Coastal Georgia should be inspected twice a year at minimum — once in spring and once in fall. Spring inspections catch winter freeze-thaw damage and confirm drains are clear before hurricane season. Fall inspections catch hurricane-season storm damage and prepare the roof for winter.
After named storms (any tropical storm or hurricane with sustained winds over 50 mph in your area), the roof should be inspected within 30 days regardless of when the next scheduled inspection falls. We provide post-storm inspection runs for our CoastalCare clients automatically.
Most single-ply manufacturer warranties (TPO, PVC, EPDM) require documented annual or semi-annual inspections to stay in force. An uninspected roof voids the warranty — meaning the manufacturer will not cover a future material-defect claim. Documented inspection is the cheapest insurance available on a commercial roof.
Reports
Every commercial roof inspection from Coastal Roofing of Georgia includes a written report delivered within 5 business days of the rooftop visit. The report has four sections:
1. Executive summary. One-page snapshot: roof condition rating, estimated remaining service life, immediate-action items, deferred maintenance items, and total budget recommendation for the next 12-36 months.
2. Photo documentation. Wide-angle rooftop photos showing overall condition, plus close-up photos of every defect or area of concern. Photos are captioned and tied to the inspection checklist.
3. Component-by-component findings. Detail on membrane, seams, flashing, penetrations, drains, edge metal, equipment mounts. Each component rated (good / fair / poor / replace) with notes.
4. Recommendations and budget. What needs attention now (under 30 days), what should be planned within the year, and what's a 2-5 year capital-planning item. Each item with cost estimate.
This is the report your insurance carrier, lender, or property manager wants to see when assessing a commercial property's roof condition.
Special Inspections
Beyond routine maintenance inspections, Coastal Roofing of Georgia provides specialty roof inspections for specific business needs:
Real estate / pre-purchase inspections. Commercial buyers need to know what they're inheriting. Our pre-purchase inspections include full visual + IR moisture survey, remaining-service-life estimate, and a capital-replacement cost projection for the buyer to factor into the purchase price negotiation.
Insurance claim inspections. After a hurricane, hail, or wind event, we document storm damage with photos, IR survey for hidden moisture, drone footage, and a line-item replacement scope the insurance adjuster can use to settle the claim. This is the documentation insurers want, in the format they want it.
Due-diligence / lender inspections. Lenders and refinance underwriters often require a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) on the roof. We deliver lender-format reports with photo documentation, condition rating, and remaining-life estimate.
Warranty-keeping inspections. Most single-ply manufacturer warranties require documented annual inspections by a certified installer. We're certified to maintain warranty status on TPO, PVC, EPDM, and standing-seam metal systems from major commercial manufacturers.

A commercial roof inspection from Coastal Roofing of Georgia covers membrane condition, seam integrity, flashing at parapets and curbs, all roof penetrations (pipes, HVAC, vents), drains and scuppers, edge metal, equipment mounts, skylights, deck signs, and drainage path.

An infrared (IR) moisture survey scans a commercial roof with a thermal imaging camera, usually at dusk when wet insulation retains daytime heat longer than dry insulation. Wet zones show as warmer (or cooler depending on conditions) than surrounding dry areas, mapping exactly where moisture lives under the membrane. Coastal Roofing of Georgia uses IR surveys before coating restorations, when leak symptoms don't match the visible damage, and for insurance-claim documentation. IR surveys run $800-$1,500 depending on roof size and conditions.
