Commercial Roof Maintenance Checklist
When our expert commercial roof inspection crews come out to inspect your roof, they will follow a very detailed and thorough inspection process that ensures nothing gets overlooked. We inspect your surface membrane and underlying insulation and decking, your perimeter walls and coping, your gutters and downspouts, your walls and wall seams, and all of your vents, skylights, and other penetrations to ensure that your roofing system is still doing its job of protecting your commercial building.
In this checklist, all of the following components will be checked:
Surface Membrane & Decking
When your commercial roof is inspected, core samples of your roofing surface membrane are taken to inspect the condition of your roof’s surface, subsurface, insulation, and decking. Our experienced commercial roof maintenance foreman can read your core samples and find out:
Your Roofing System’s Approximate Age
When core samples are taken, we look at important characteristics of your roofing system like current composition, weight, density, and thickness to help us gauge how long your membrane and underlying layers should last.
How Many Roofing Layers Are Already Installed?
Commercial building codes allow up to 2 roofing systems to be installed on commercial low-slope buildings. When we inspect your roof, this is one of the first things we check for.
Check for Moisture
When core samples are taken, we will be able to tell if any moisture is present that may be causing blistering or rotting to your roof decking.
Signs of Hazardous Materials Present
Substances that could affect the integrity of your roofing material, like solvents and adhesives or volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Roof Vents & All Metal Flashing
Inspect the drip line for missing or damaged flashing, ensure that the underlayment is lapped over the flashing (when applicable), and ensure that everything is properly sealed and watertight.
Inspect Walls & Copings
What is the current state of your wall surfaces? Look for indicators of mold or dark areas. Are they peeling, wet, or damp? These can be indicators of leakages or early signs of mold. Have the areas checked and examined promptly.
Roof Vents & All Metal Flashing (Repeated)
Inspect to ensure that flashing is properly installed and free from cracks, tears, and other damages. If flashing is damaged or leaking, inspect decking to ensure rotting is not present.
Gutters & Drainpipes
We inspect gutters and drainpipes for signs of damage, seals around edges or overhangs (when applicable), and clogging to ensure that your roof is able to drain properly.
Inspect Vents, Skylights, & Other Penetrations
Inspect to ensure that flashing on all penetrations is properly installed and still sealing the surface of the roofing system. Inspect all areas around vents, skylights, and HVAC units for signs of moisture. This can be a sign that flashing has broken down and requires replacement or repair.
Detailed Documentation
We record the state of every item we inspect—vents, flashing, perimeter walls, your building’s interior, etc. What activity is needed—repair or replacement? Where on the roof is it located? It’s important to take pictures and record any type of damages for future reference and insurance purposes (when applicable).
Maintain Log Upkeep
Having a history of roof repair and maintenance activity can be useful. Maintaining a log is a good management tool and can be helpful when making repairs or even selling your property.
We’re #1 for Commercial Roof Insurance Claims Minneapolis
Commercial roof insurance claims are common in the business world because they identify the current state of your roofing system and underlying decking. This allows insurers or agents to make informed decisions and give you better rates if your property is classified as low-risk. Sellers Roofing Company has experience with all types of commercial roof insurance claims, whether you’re selling, transferring ownership, switching insurance companies, or navigating damage from violent weather.
Commercial Roof Inspection
After a severe weather event, it’s critical to have a certified inspector examine your roof. Damage may not be visible, but it can still be there—and costly if missed. A certified roofer can assess damage and advise whether it falls under your insurance or the manufacturer’s warranty.
Damage Evaluation & Assessment
We evaluate the extent of the damage and document it with photos and videos. This gives your insurance company a clear picture and helps justify your claim. At this stage, your insurance company should begin preparing the contract.
Meeting with Your Insurance Agent
We handle the full claims process—from inspection to meeting your insurance adjuster. We confirm the damage and ensure your claim is accurate. Having an experienced contractor on-site increases your chances of getting full coverage. Adjusters don’t always have the technical knowledge needed, so we help bridge that gap.
Once the meeting concludes, the claim usually moves forward faster, especially after severe weather.

FAQ’s
Commercial Roof Maintenance FAQs
What Type of Maintenance Steps Should I Take Before the Rainy Season?
- Inspect All Flashings: Water can move laterally along the roof’s surface and run behind flashing. This can cause rust or rot. Caulking may help temporarily, but the effectiveness depends on the roof type and condition.
- Exposed Nails/Screws: These can loosen over time due to temperature changes or HVAC vibration. Roofing tar or bitumen tape can help seal them after hammering back flush.
It’s always best to let a professional roofer handle sealing to ensure your roof is watertight.
How Often Should My Gutters Be Cleaned?
Clean gutters once in summer and twice in the fall. Ponding water is a major cause of leaks. Our maintenance plans ensure proper care and drainage.
Do you offer a Scheduled Commercial Roof Maintenance Program?
Yes. Our programs include cleaning roof surfaces, removing debris, applying moss or mildew treatment (if needed), and sealing loose components.
What Options Do You Offer for Re-roofing?
A re-cover (second layer) is sometimes allowed and can reduce costs. However, full replacement offers better sealing, fit, and durability.
What are the Benefits of Commercial Roof Maintenance?
It extends roof life, prevents leaks, and gives you a clear view of your system’s condition. Maintenance saves money long term and avoids internal damage.
