What's Included in a CES Roof Evaluation
Our free inspections go beyond a visual walkdown. CES Commercial Roofing uses advanced tools like drone technology and thermal imaging as needed to give property owners and managers an evidence-backed picture of their roof’s actual condition. With over 15 million square feet of commercial roofing installed across Florida, we’ve evaluated every system and situation you’re likely to encounter. See the commercial roof inspection services page for more detail.
| Component | What It Does |
|---|---|
| On-Site Physical Inspection | Identifies visible surface damage, wear patterns, seam failures, a moisture read, and problem areas across the full roof |
| Drone-Assisted Survey | High-resolution aerial imaging of the entire roof surface, capturing what a manual walkdown can miss |
| Thermal Imaging (when indicated) | Detects trapped moisture and measures the percentage of moisture present in the roofing system |
| Written Recommendation | A clear, itemized assessment of whether your roof needs repair, restoration, or full replacement |
Why an Accurate Inspection Matters in Florida
Florida’s climate accelerates roof degradation faster than most states. High humidity, intense UV, and regular severe weather drive moisture into roofing systems in ways that aren’t visible from the surface.
| Business Concern | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Florida Building Code Compliance | State code requires a full tear-off if more than 25% of a roof is wet. Thermal imaging is the only way to know with certainty where you stand. See Florida Building Code requirement. |
| Restoration vs. Replacement Decision | A silicone coating restoration can extend a roof's life up to 20 years at roughly one-third the cost of replacement, but only if the roof qualifies. You cannot make that call accurately without moisture data. |
| Hidden Damage on Flat Roofs | On low-slope commercial roofs, water can enter at one point and travel far before showing up inside the building. Thermal imaging locates the actual source, not just the symptom. Learn more about commercial roof leak detection. |
| No Obligation, No Guesswork | The inspection is free. CES will tell you directly what the roof needs, whether that is a repair, a restoration, or a full replacement. |

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Roof Inspections
Is the CES commercial roof inspection completely free of charge?
Yes. CES’s roof evaluations are completely free with no obligation. There is no service call fee, no minimum project requirement, and no commitment required to receive a written report and recommendation. CES offers free inspections because an accurate assessment is the only honest starting point for any recommendation.
What does the inspector actually do during the on-site visit?
The inspector conducts a physical walkdown of the roof and surveys the full surface. After the inspection, CES provides a written recommendation covering whether the roof needs repair, restoration, or full replacement, along with the reasoning behind the recommendation.
What is thermal imaging, and why does it matter for commercial roofs?
Thermal imaging equipment detects moisture trapped within a roofing system and measures the percentage of moisture present across different areas. This matters because the Florida building code requires a full tear-off if more than 25% of a commercial roof is wet, which means the moisture level directly determines whether restoration is even a legal option. Without thermal imaging, a contractor is estimating moisture based on visual cues alone, which is not reliable on flat commercial roofs.
Can I schedule an inspection if my roof is not currently showing any leaks?
Yes, and proactive inspections are one of the most effective ways to avoid costly surprises. On flat commercial roofs, significant moisture intrusion can develop well before a visible interior leak appears. Catching that damage early is what makes the difference between a coating restoration and a full tear-off. CES recommends annual inspections for most commercial properties in Orlando, Florida, regardless of visible condition.
Does CES offer free roof inspections in Tampa and Orlando?
What happens if the inspection shows the roof needs to be fully replaced?
CES will tell you directly, explain why, and provide a detailed proposal that includes system options, scope of work, warranty information, and pricing with no hidden costs. If a restoration is still viable, that option will be outlined instead. CES is a 100% commercial-only contractor. Every recommendation is based on what the roof actually needs, not on which path is more profitable. If replacement is the right path, you can explore commercial roof installation options on our services page.
