Our Services
At Independent Roof Services, we provide a full spectrum of roof consulting services, including inspection and non-destructive roof moisture surveys, design services, and repair specifications. Our services are designed to help property owners and designers make informed decisions about their roof systems. We take a proactive approach to roof maintenance, offering preventive maintenance programs that include regular visual inspections and repair. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized attention to each client, ensuring that their roof system is protected and well-maintained.
Visual Inspection & Preventive Maintenance
Our visual inspection service is designed to protect your investment and prolong the serviceable life of your roof. Our experienced team will perform a thorough visual inspection of your roof to identify any gross abnormalities, such as seams, penetrations, curbs, and edges, as well as high-traffic areas and other suspect areas. The information gathered during the inspection will be used to create a scale roof plan, which can serve as a valuable reference for future inspections, repairs, or design work.
Non-Destructive Roof Moisture Survey
Early detection and mitigation are key to preventing costly roof repairs. Our non-destructive roof moisture survey uses infrared and nuclear technology to detect the presence or absence of moisture below the surface of your roof. This allows us to identify small problems early, preventing them from becoming destructive and expensive to repair.
Design Services
Whether you're building a new structure or replacing an existing roof system, our design services are designed to provide you with the optimal roof system design. We collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure that your roof system meets current codes and industry standards. Our design services are tailored to meet your specific needs, taking into consideration your budget and goals.
