Gorilla Roofing’s inspection services give you a clear picture of your roof’s condition and a plan to keep it performing.

Why Commercial Roof Inspections Matter

Most major roofing problems start small. A seam separation, puncture or clogged drain can go unnoticed until water finds its way inside, damaging insulation, ceilings and equipment. Routine inspections identify issues early, when they’re simple and inexpensive to correct. They also document the roof’s condition for insurance claims, resale or lease negotiations.

Many manufacturers now require documented inspections to keep warranties valid. Skipping inspections can void coverage just when you need it most. Gorilla Roofing helps property owners stay ahead of these requirements with detailed reports and recommendations after every visit.

Why Choose Gorilla Roofing

Not all inspections are created equal. Some contractors do a quick glance and hand you a one-page checklist. Gorilla Roofing takes a deeper, consultative approach. Our inspectors are trained in multiple roof systems — from single-ply membranes to metal panels to green roofs — so they understand what they’re seeing. We also maintain a database of your roof’s history so future inspections build on past findings, not start from scratch.

Our goal isn’t just to find problems but to help you manage your roof as an asset. We’ll explain which issues need immediate action, which can wait and what it will cost. You get transparency and control instead of surprises.

How Often Should a Roof Be Inspected?

Industry standards (NRCA, ASTM) recommend at least two inspections per year — typically in the spring and fall — plus additional checks after severe weather events. High-traffic roofs, aging systems or buildings in harsh climates may need more frequent evaluations. Gorilla Roofing customizes inspection schedules based on your roof type, age and usage so you’re not under- or over-servicing.

What We Look For During an Inspection

A comprehensive commercial roof inspection from Gorilla Roofing covers the entire system, including:

  • Surface Condition: Membrane wear, blisters, cracks, punctures or UV degradation.

  • Seams and Flashings: Openings where water can enter, especially at HVAC units or penetrations.

  • Drainage: Gutters, scuppers and internal drains checked for blockages or improper slope.

  • Insulation and Decking: Evidence of moisture intrusion or loss of structural integrity.

  • Expansion Joints: Movement cracks that can tear membranes if not maintained.

  • Perimeter Edge and Coping: Securement and sealant condition for wind uplift protection.

We also photograph all problem areas and mark them on a roof plan so you know exactly what and where each issue is.

Advanced Inspection Tools

Gorilla Roofing combines hands-on expertise with modern technology:

  • Drone Surveys: Safe, quick aerial imagery of large or difficult-to-access roofs.

  • Infrared Scanning: Detects hidden moisture under the membrane without destructive testing.

  • Core Sampling: Confirms insulation type, thickness and condition when needed.

  • Digital Reporting: Detailed PDF reports with photos, recommendations and cost estimates.

These tools give you actionable data instead of vague notes.

Drones are great for overviews and hard-to-reach areas, but nothing replaces a trained inspector walking the roof to check seams, flashings and details up close.
