Roof Consulting for Large Distribution Centers
Big distribution centers carry some of the largest single roofs in commercial real estate. On roofs that size, small problems spread across a lot of area, and storm losses get large fast.
We focus on the largest facilities and large-loss scale: big single roofs, multi-building campuses and portfolios, on buildings from 10,000 square feet to multi-million-square-foot facilities.
Common roof problems
- Very large low-slope roofs where wet insulation can spread unnoticed
- Leaks over inventory, conveyors and automation
- Hail and wind losses that span the whole roof
- Acquisitions and lease decisions that hinge on roof condition
- Replacement projects large enough that a clear spec and bid comparison really matter

Frequently asked questions
Is infrared useful on a roof this size?
Yes. On large low-slope roofs, infrared is a practical way to find wet areas, with core cuts to confirm.
Can you document hail damage across the whole roof?
Yes. We document by roof area with photos, test squares and measurements.
