Commercial roofs may be built to last, but they’re not set-it-and-forget-it systems. Whether you manage an office building, warehouse, or multi-unit retail space in the Comox Valley, routine roof inspections are one of the smartest ways to protect your investment—and prevent costly disruptions to your business.
At Aces Roofing, we provide professional commercial roof inspections designed to catch small issues before they turn into big problems. Here’s what to expect when you schedule an inspection with our team.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Review
We start by getting to know your building—its age, type of roofing system, past repair history, and any concerns you’ve noticed (like leaks or pooling water). This helps us focus on the right areas and recommend next steps based on your specific needs.
Step 2: Exterior Walkthrough and Surface Assessment
Our inspectors examine the surface of your commercial roof, looking for:
-
Visible damage (cracks, punctures, blistering)
-
Loose or deteriorated membrane seams
-
Ponding or poor drainage
-
UV damage or worn coatings
-
Signs of foot traffic wear or improper equipment placement
Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, surface issues can develop quietly and quickly. A close-up inspection ensures nothing is missed.
Step 3: Structural and Perimeter Check
Next, we assess the roof’s structural elements, including:
-
Flashing and edge metal conditions
-
Roof penetrations (vents, HVAC units, drains)
-
Fascia, parapet walls, and coping details
-
Sealant integrity around joints and fixtures
These areas are common sources of leaks and deterioration, especially during stormy West Coast weather.
Step 4: Interior Inspection (If Required)
If you’ve noticed ceiling stains or musty odours inside, we’ll check the underside of the roof for water ingress or insulation damage. This is especially important for buildings with drop ceilings or storage areas that might hide signs of trouble.
Step 5: Detailed Report and Recommendations
You’ll receive a written report outlining:
-
The current condition of your commercial roof
-
Any deficiencies or potential issues
-
Recommended repairs, maintenance, or upgrades
-
An estimated timeline and budget (if applicable)
We’ll walk you through the findings so you understand exactly what’s happening—and what to do next.
