Know What Your Roof Needs
Before You Spend
A formal inspection by dedicated inspectors, not a quick look. You get photographs, every finding pinned to a roof map, condition grades and clear priorities. Repairs are quoted separately, so the report stays objective.
Understand Your Roof. Plan Your Next Step.
Before you decide what to repair, maintain or replace, you need a clear picture of your roof's condition. A commercial roof inspection gives you documented findings to help prioritize attention and make informed decisions about your building.
Bloom brings those findings together in a report your facilities team, finance team or repair contractor can use. With mapped locations, photographs, condition grades and recommended next steps, you can review your options before committing to repair work.
Free Assessment or Formal Inspection?
| Question | Free roof assessment | Formal inspection |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A walk of your roof with a Bloom representative, who points out the issues they see | A detailed inspection by a dedicated inspector |
| What you get | The issues identified on the roof and suggested next steps | A written report with photographs, mapped findings, condition grades and priorities |
| Cost | Free | Quoted by roof size and complexity |
| Best for | A first look, or a quick read on a concern | Budgeting, capital planning, warranty records and long-term maintenance |
| How it is scheduled | Arranged when you request it | Typically scheduled as part of a long-term roof plan |
A Clear Record of Your Roof's Condition
Your report records the areas inspected, relevant limitations, photographs, mapped findings and recommended priorities. Condition grades help your team compare roof areas and plan next steps, and maintenance, weather and decisions about needed work shape how each area performs from here.
Clogged drain
Debris is obstructing drainage in this example area.
Repair now
Standing water
Review the drainage path and determine the appropriate clearing and corrective work.
Select any pin to read the example finding. In an actual report, each finding includes a photograph, its location on the roof plan, observations and a recommended next step.
Clear inspection scope
Know which areas were inspected, what was excluded and why.
Roof-area details
See each roof area's boundaries, system type, approximate age and condition grade.
Overview photographs
Understand your roof's layout and overall condition through clear, wide-view photographs.
Mapped findings
Locate each finding on a roof plan so your team or repair contractor knows where to look.
Findings by category
Review issues by seams, flashings, terminations, penetrations, drainage and roof-surface condition.
Grades and next steps
Understand each roof area's condition grade and recommended priorities for repair, monitoring and budget planning.
Your inspector identified
Know who inspected your roof and signed the report.
Separate repair pricing
Receive recommended repair pricing separately. Reviewing your report does not commit you to the proposed work.
Inspection and Maintenance Serve Different Needs
A formal inspection documents conditions and recommended next steps. Maintenance carries out agreed recurring tasks and minor corrective work within its contracted scope. Inspection findings help determine whether maintenance, repair or a larger project is appropriate.
Inspection
Documents the agreed roof areas with photographs, mapped findings, condition grades and recommended priorities. It does not include repair work.
Proactive maintenance
Carries out scheduled tasks and minor corrective work within an agreed scope, with a record of each visit.
What Affects Inspection Scope and Price
Inspection scope depends on roof area, the number of separate areas and elevations, safe access, and the quantity and complexity of roof details. Bloom confirms the scope and price before scheduling.
Roof area
The total area sets how much ground the inspection covers.
Separate areas and elevations
Each distinct roof area is documented and graded on its own, so additions and different systems are recorded separately.
Access
How the roof can be reached safely, including any hoisting, escorts, badging or restricted work windows.
Roof details
Curbs, penetrations, skylights, drains and expansion joints are reviewed individually, so their number and complexity affect the time required.
Questions About Roof Inspections
What is included in a formal roof inspection?
The agreed scope identifies which roof areas will be reviewed and any limitations. The report brings together photographs, mapped findings, condition information and recommended priorities. Additional investigation, such as a suitable moisture survey, should be confirmed in the scope rather than assumed to be included.
Does the inspection include repairs?
No. The formal inspection documents conditions and recommendations. Maintenance or repairs are scoped separately, so you can review the findings before authorizing work.
Why is the inspection a paid service?
Because it goes much further than a walk of the roof. The inspection documents every agreed area with photographs, mapped findings and condition grades in a written report you can use for budgeting and warranty records. If you want a first look, request a free roof assessment. Bloom quotes the field review and preparation of the report as a separate professional service. Recommended repair pricing is provided separately, giving you a clear basis for reviewing the proposed work.
Can one inspection cover a building with several roof areas?
Yes, the engagement can cover multiple areas within the agreed scope. Different systems, elevations and repair histories should be documented separately so one overall grade does not hide important differences.
What if the roof is actively leaking?
For active water intrusion, call the emergency line first. The service team can discuss immediate conditions and response needs; a formal inspection can follow when access and conditions allow.
