Assess your roof’s condition and options with a no-cost professional inspection from Showalter Roofing.
When you’re not sure what your roof needs, a detailed inspection from Showalter Roofing helps you move forward with clarity. Our certified crews assess your flat or metal roofing system with advanced tools like FLIR thermal imaging, core sampling, and moisture probes. You get a full report, photos, and expert guidance without the sales pressure. Whether you’re concerned about roof leaks, age, or future repairs, we help you make informed decisions that align with your budget and building goals.
Our process starts with a full roof walk, from edge to edge. We check seams, probe for punctures or soft spots, examine drainage paths, and use FLIR scanning to detect hidden moisture. For more complex assessments, we take core samples to determine insulation thickness and identify past overlays. Every inspection is carefully documented with photos and notes so you know exactly what’s happening overhead.
After your inspection, you’ll receive a detailed estimate that outlines repair or replacement options, material recommendations, load specs, warranty choices, and system comparisons. We break it down clearly so you can choose what’s best for your business, whether it’s a full tear-off, an overlay, or targeted repairs.
At Showalter Roofing, we believe in equipping business owners with the knowledge they need to protect their investment. That’s why our commercial roof inspection services are built around transparency, clarity, and honest guidance. Whether your roof needs quick repairs or long-term planning, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
Every building is different, and so is every roof. That’s why we begin by asking what matters most to you: budget, durability, or minimal disruption, and then build a recommendation that fits. From explaining replacement vs. overlay options to highlighting roofing material choices and lifespan expectations, the Showalter team is here to guide you every step of the way.

“Showalter’s estimator, Andy Shaw is great to work with; professional, knowledgeable, personable and prompt. He performed a detailed inspection, gave suggestions while staying mindful of our requests, quickly provided a quote and was thorough with any explanations. Our project manager, Enrique Diaz, and his entire crew were fantastic. Everyone I encountered had remarkable work ethic and were respectful and efficient. Enrique gave status updates along the way and always had a charming and calm disposition. I am a repeat client and could not recommend Showalter Roofing more!”

Does Showalter provide roof condition reports for insurance purposes?
Absolutely. Our inspections are fully documented with photos and summaries that many clients use for insurance records or planning purposes.
Do you inspect flat roofs and metal roofs differently?
We adjust our inspection methods based on the system. Flat roof inspections typically require more moisture testing and membrane checks, while metal roofs are evaluated for panel integrity and fastener systems.
How often should I schedule a commercial roof inspection?
At a minimum, once a year. We recommend inspections in the spring or fall, especially after storms or heavy snow. Regular checks help catch issues early and extend your roof’s lifespan.
