For commercial property owners and managers in Long Island, the roof is one of the most valuable — and vulnerable — assets. Whether you operate a retail center, warehouse, office building, or industrial facility, your roofing system protects your structure, operations, inventory, and tenants. Regular commercial roof inspections are essential to avoid unexpected damage, costly repairs, and business disruption.
At ELED Construction, we specialize in commercial roofing services designed to protect your investment.

Why Commercial Roof Inspections Are Essential
Unlike residential roofs, commercial roofs are typically flat or low-sloped and house equipment such as HVAC units, solar panels, and vents. This makes them more prone to:
-
Ponding water
-
Membrane damage
-
UV degradation
-
Seam failures
-
Punctures from foot traffic or equipment
-
Improper drainage
Without regular inspections, these problems can go unnoticed until they result in leaks, mold, or interior damage.
Benefits of Regular Commercial Roof Inspections
1. Extend the Roof’s Lifespan
Routine inspections and minor repairs can add years to your commercial roof’s life. Preventing issues before they escalate saves you from premature replacement.
2. Avoid Expensive Repairs
Detecting small problems early allows for affordable fixes. Left unchecked, these issues may require extensive repairs or full roof replacement.
3. Protect Your Property and Assets
Leaks from roof damage can ruin ceilings, drywall, flooring, inventory, and equipment — and even interrupt business operations. Inspections help prevent these losses.
4. Maintain Warranty Coverage
Most commercial roofing warranties require regular inspections and maintenance. Failing to document inspections can void your warranty when a problem arises.
5. Support Budgeting and Planning
Inspection reports help you understand your roof’s condition and plan future maintenance or capital expenditures accurately.
When Should You Schedule a Commercial Roof Inspection?
We recommend commercial roofs be inspected:
-
Twice a year (spring and fall)
-
After major storms
-
Before and after construction work on rooftop equipment
-
If you notice leaks, ponding, or increased HVAC usage

Drainage systems including scuppers and internal drains

Signs of ponding water, punctures, or cracks

Interior ceilings for stains or water damage
We provide a detailed inspection report with photos, findings, and recommended action steps.
