A commercial roof is inspected for a different reason than a house. Nobody is deciding whether to replace it — they are deciding whether it will get through another year without costing more than it should.
Read it →Roof flashing: what it is, and why it is where roofs leak
Roofs almost never fail in the middle of a shingle. They fail where the roof meets something else — and flashing is what is supposed to handle that.

What Maryland homeowners say about us
“It’s been great working with Dmitry and Bravo roofing for several years now. They did a full tear off and replace of my flat roof back in 2019. I had a leak last year and Dmitry came out to inspect. He found that an old roof antenna had fallen off and punctured it.”
Tony DeBraccio · Google“I highly recommend Bravo for any kind of roof repair or construction. Dmitry, the business owner, is meticulous and detailed. He personally assessed the leaking overhang roof in our old house and delivered a thorough and economical solution.”
