Condition assessments and reporting
Chicago flat roofs require specialized inspection that standard home inspectors lack the expertise to provide. We evaluate membrane integrity—whether EPDM, TPO, PVC, or modified bitumen—checking for blistering, bubbling, cracking, and deterioration. Flashings around penetrations for HVAC, plumbing vents, and skylights receive particular attention since these transition points cause the majority of leaks.
Our assessments estimate remaining useful life based on membrane condition, drainage effectiveness, and how previous repairs have held up. For deck projects, we determine whether the existing roof can support the additional load or if replacement should happen first. Installing a beautiful deck over a failing roof leads to costly teardown within years.
You receive a comprehensive report with documented findings, photos of problem areas, and clear recommendations. We classify conditions and prioritize what needs immediate attention versus ongoing maintenance, giving you accurate information for budgeting and planning your rooftop project.
