The right starting point for any roof, any decision, any budget.

Most roof problems get worse, and more expensive, the longer they go undiagnosed. A Roof Health Assessment is the documented baseline that tells you what your roof actually is, what it actually needs, and what it doesn't.

When to schedule one:

• Annually, as part of a preventive maintenance program
• After any major weather event (hail, wind, freeze)
• Before budget season, to plan capital and operating expenses with real numbers
• Before accepting a replacement bid from another contractor
• After taking ownership of a building with no roof history on file
• When you suspect a problem but can't see one

What's included:

• Walk-over inspection of every penetration, drain, flashing, seam, and field area.
• Photographic record, organized by location.
• Moisture analysis where conditions warrant (infrared, capacitance, or nuclear depending on assembly).
• Core sampling on assemblies where substrate condition can't be determined visually.
• Review of existing warranty documentation, manufacturer specs, or prior repair records.

What you get:

A written report that gives you a defensible basis for whatever decision comes next: continued monitoring, targeted repair, restoration, or replacement.

The report is yours to keep, share with insurance, hand to a property manager, or use to evaluate bids—regardless of whether you engage us further.

Replacement isn't your only option.

If your roof's foundation is still sound but the top layer is breaking down, restoration can add years of service life for a fraction of the cost of tearing it off. Done right, restoration is one of the highest-return moves a building owner can make on an aging roof.

When restoration makes sense:

• Membrane is weathering, chalking, or showing surface degradation, but the assembly underneath is dry and structurally sound
• Roof is approaching the end of its original warranty but the substrate is still serviceable
• Ownership timeline doesn't justify a full replacement yet
• Capital constraints favor extending the existing asset over replacing it
• The existing system is restoration-eligible (we'll confirm this in the assessment)

What's involved:

• Surface preparation, including cleaning and necessary repairs to seams, flashings, and penetrations
• Application of a manufacturer-approved restoration coating (silicone, acrylic, or specialty system, depending on substrate and conditions)
• Reinforcement at high-stress areas: seams, terminations, and penetrations
• Insulation upgrades where the existing assembly is underperforming
• Manufacturer warranty registration and documentation

When restoration isn't the answer:

Restoration is not a fix for a roof with structural issues, wet insulation, or a failed assembly. We document why restoration is the right call before we propose it, including a moisture survey where conditions warrant. If your roof isn't a candidate, we'll tell you, and we'll show you why. Replacement is not the default recommendation, and serviceable assemblies get restored where viable.

Got a bid that doesn't sit right?

A scope that seems too aggressive, or too thin? A price that doesn't match the work being proposed? A contractor pushing replacement when repair might do? We'll review the proposal, walk the roof, and tell you what we'd actually recommend. And why.

What's involved:

• Independent walk-over of your roof
• Review of the proposal you've received: scope, system, warranty, exclusions
• Comparison against what your roof actually needs based on documented condition
• A written summary of where we agree, where we'd recommend differently, and the reasoning behind it

Where we land:

If we agree with the original bid, we'll tell you that too. A second opinion that always disagrees with the first isn't a second opinion. It's a sales pitch. We've sent owners back to their original contractor more than once because the original scope was right. Our job is to tell you the truth, not to win the project.
