What Our Commercial Roof Inspection Looks for in Pasadena

As part of our commercial roofing services across Southern California, Highland inspects low-slope and metal roofs throughout Pasadena. The inspection covers the membrane surface, seams, perimeter edge metal, flashing at walls and curbs, drains and scuppers, and every penetration. Areas around HVAC units get extra attention, since service technicians working on that equipment often leave punctures and loose flashing behind. On single-ply TPO, PVC, and EPDM roofs, we look for open laps, punctures, and shrinkage at the edges. On modified bitumen and built-up roofs, we check for blisters, cracking, and areas where the surface has worn thin.

Pasadena’s conditions shape what we focus on. Long, hot summers dry out sealants and put stress on seams, and Santa Ana wind events can lift edge metal and loosen perimeter flashing. We pay close attention to those areas, since wind damage at the edge of a roof often goes unnoticed until rain gets underneath. Each commercial roof inspection report ranks findings by urgency, and the results can feed into asset assessment and budgeting for longer-range planning.

When should Pasadena buildings be inspected?
The most useful time is early fall, before the rainy season starts, so any repairs can be finished while the weather is dry. We also recommend an inspection after strong winds or a major storm, since edge and flashing damage from wind isn’t always visible from the ground.
What’s included in the inspection report?
Every report includes photos of each finding, a written description of the problem, and a recommended priority. We also estimate the roof’s remaining service life based on its condition. For reference, TPO, PVC, and EPDM roofs typically last 20 to 30 years, modified bitumen and built-up roofs last 20 to 30 years, and metal roofs can last 20 to 50 years, depending on the type of metal.
Should we inspect the roof before a tenant improvement project?
Yes. Tenant improvements often involve new rooftop units, added penetrations, or relocated equipment, and each of those affects the roof. An inspection beforehand documents the roof’s existing condition and flags any areas that should be repaired first. That record also makes it clear which issues came from the project and which were already there.
Can an inspection help with a wind or storm damage claim?
An inspection gives your insurance carrier dated photos and written findings showing what was damaged. Highland offers insurance assistance and can help owners organize that documentation. If a recent pre-storm inspection is already on file, it becomes easier to show which damage is new, which can matter when an adjuster is separating storm damage from age-related wear.
