Commercial Roof Inspection

Quick Answer: After a Calgary hail event with stones 25 mm or larger, property managers should photograph exterior damage within 48 hours, notify insurance carriers, restrict roof access, schedule a HAAG Certified inspection within 7 days, and file claims with documented reports within 30 days. Late reporting is the most common reason commercial hail claims are denied or depreciated. Calgary averages 8 to 12 hail events per summer, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada

Quick Answer: Calgary commercial roof inspection costs range from $400 for small retail buildings to $4,500+ for major industrial facilities. Mid-size commercial buildings (10,000 to 30,000 square feet) typically run $900 to $1,800. Add-ons like infrared moisture scanning ($1,200 to $4,000), core sampling ($200 to $400 per core), and electronic leak detection ($1,500 to $4,500) substantially change total pricing. Pricing depends on roof size, complexity, access, and report de

Quick Answer: A complete commercial roof inspection covers 6 zones: field membrane, perimeter and edge metal, penetrations, drainage, vertical flashings, and substrate.

A typical 20,000-square-foot roof takes 2 to 4 hours on site. Property managers often see only the inspectio

Quick Answer: Inspection frequency in Calgary varies by membrane system. TPO needs to be done twice yearly with quarterly seam checks after year 10. EPDM needs to be inspected twice yearly, with extra cold-weather seam attention. SBS modified bitumen and built-up roofing need to be inspected twice yearly with focused granule and surfacing inspection. All four require post-haul inspection within 30 days. Frequency increases in the final 3 years of expected service life. The ri

Quick Answer: Calgary commercial roofs require twice-yearly inspections (spring and fall) plus event-driven checks after hail events with stones 25 mm or larger and wind events over 90 km/h. The cadence comes from NRCA guidance adjusted for Calgary's 30 to 35 annual Chinook cycles, hail-corridor location, and high-altitude UV. Skipping the schedule typically voids manufacturer warranties and complicates insurance claims. Most property managers in Calgary inherit a once-a-year

Quick Answer: Calgary commercial roof inspections should happen twice yearly (spring and fall) plus after every hail event with stones 25 mm or larger. A standard inspection costs $400 to $1,500 for buildings under 30,000 square feet and $1,500 to $4,500 for larger properties. Inspectors check membrane condition, drainage and ponding, penetrations, flashings, perimeter details, and substrate moisture. Documented inspections protect manufacturer warranties, support insurance c
