Commercial Roofing
& Waterproofing Contractor

A commercial roof assessment starts with understanding the visible conditions, known problem areas, previous repairs, drainage, penetrations, transitions, and how the roof is currently performing. In many cases, an experienced roof walk and documentation are enough to identify the next step.

When conditions are less clear or the project requires deeper investigation, additional diagnostics may include:

• Infrared moisture scanning — helps identify areas that may contain trapped moisture within the roof assembly.
• Core sampling — confirms the existing roof assembly and allows direct inspection of insulation and underlying materials.
• Moisture verification — checks suspected problem areas to confirm whether moisture is actually present.
• Water testing or leak tracing — helps isolate the path of water intrusion when the source of a leak is not obvious.
• Adhesion testing — evaluates whether an existing surface is suitable for coatings, restoration, or other adhered systems.
• Drone inspection — useful where roof size, access, or overall site conditions make aerial review beneficial.

The goal is to separate localized issues from broader system problems and give the owner a clear basis for deciding whether the next step should be repair, restoration, further investigation, recover, or replacement.

Some projects come to us with completed plans and specifications from an engineer, consultant, or architect, while others begin earlier, when the owner is still evaluating roof systems, developing the scope, establishing a budget, or determining whether formal engineering or design is needed. Strong works in both environments, using our experience across multiple commercial roofing, restoration, waterproofing, and fluid-applied systems to help evaluate options or execute directly from an established design. Planning and design may include:

• System evaluation — comparing appropriate roofing, restoration, or waterproofing options based on the project conditions and owner’s objectives.
• Scope development — helping define the work required before pricing or construction begins.
• Budgeting and value engineering — evaluating alternatives when scope, budget, phasing, or existing conditions require another approach.
• Consultant and engineer coordination — working directly with the owner’s existing design professionals on scoped and specified projects.
• Design support — coordinating engineering, manufacturer requirements, details, and formal design services when the project requires them.

The goal is to develop a scope that can actually be built, priced, and executed—whether Strong is involved early in the process or brought in after the design is complete.

Once a project is awarded, successful construction depends on coordination between the owner, contractor, design team, manufacturers, and other parties involved. Some projects are relatively straightforward, while others require experienced management across multiple phases, trades, site conditions, and project requirements.

Project delivery may include:

• Material procurement and submittals — coordinating approved systems, products, lead times, and manufacturer requirements.

• Phasing and sequencing — organizing work around facility operations, weather, schedule constraints, and other project requirements.

• Mobilization and staging — planning equipment, materials, access, loading, and site logistics before field work begins.

• Facility protection — protecting occupied areas, equipment, entrances, landscaping, and other sensitive conditions during construction.

• Trade coordination — sequencing roofing and waterproofing work around mechanical, electrical, structural, and other construction activities.

• Safety planning — establishing project-specific controls, fall protection, access requirements, and site procedures.

• Quality control and documentation — verifying installation details, documenting progress, and addressing field conditions as they arise.

• Closeout and warranty — completing inspections, punch-list items, manufacturer requirements, warranty documentation, and final project records.

The goal is to manage the roofing and waterproofing scope from submittals through closeout, keeping field work, documentation, quality, and project coordination connected throughout construction.

Strong Contractors offers commercial roof repair, preventive maintenance, leak investigation, warranty-related maintenance, and 24/7 emergency response for owners who want to protect existing roof systems and extend their useful life. Our team can support both planned maintenance and active repair needs, from recurring problem areas and minor deficiencies to storm damage and urgent leaks. Roof care may include:

• Scheduled inspections — reviewing the roof at regular intervals to identify developing conditions, damage, and maintenance needs.

• Preventive maintenance — correcting minor deficiencies found during inspections before they lead to larger repairs or water intrusion.

• Leak investigation and repair — identifying the source of active leaks and repairing the affected roofing or waterproofing components.

• Warranty-related maintenance — completing and documenting maintenance that may be required to preserve manufacturer warranty coverage.

• 24/7 emergency response — responding to urgent leaks, storm damage, and other conditions that require immediate attention.

• Repair planning — helping owners determine when continued repairs make sense and when restoration or replacement should begin to be considered.

• Maintenance documentation — creating a record of roof conditions, repairs, and recurring issues that can support future planning and budgeting.

A maintenance program does not mean every roof needs constant work. The goal is to understand how the roof is aging, address problems while they are manageable, and give the owner enough information to make decisions before an emergency makes the decision for them.
