What Our Commercial Flat Roof Inspection Includes
Drainage & ponding water analysis
We map every low spot, drain, scupper, and overflow so water leaves the roof instead of sitting on it.
Membrane, seam & flashing report
TPO, torch-down modified bitumen, and coating systems checked for seam fatigue, blisters, and failed terminations.
HVAC curb & penetration audit
Curbs, duct supports, pitch pockets, vents, and skylights photographed and rated one by one.

Why Downtown Buildings Choose Us
Downtown San Diego roofs live a hard life: marine-air corrosion, dense rooftop mechanical equipment, tight street access, and tenants who cannot be shut down. We stage from our San Diego yard at 9606 Tierra Grande St, coordinate access with property management, and work nights or weekends when the building demands it. Large portfolios and projects over 150 units are handled by our commercial division — see our commercial roofing page or case studies.

Downtown San Diego Commercial Roof Inspection FAQ
How much does a commercial flat roof inspection in Downtown San Diego cost?
Our commercial flat roof inspection is free for buildings in Downtown San Diego and throughout San Diego County. You receive a written condition report with photos, core findings, and repair-versus-replacement options at no cost or obligation.
What does the inspection actually cover?
We walk the entire roof field and document membrane condition and seams, ponding water and drainage, roof drains and scuppers, parapet and base flashings, HVAC curbs, duct supports, pitch pockets, vents, skylights, and screen-wall terminations. We also check interior ceilings where leaks are reported.
How long does a downtown commercial roof inspection take?
Most downtown San Diego buildings take 60 to 120 minutes on the roof depending on square footage and rooftop equipment. Your photo report is delivered within 24 to 48 hours.
Can you restore our flat roof instead of replacing it?
Often yes. If the deck and insulation are dry and seams are sound, a TPO recover or silicone restoration can add 10 to 20 years for a fraction of a tear-off. When moisture has entered the insulation, we recommend replacement and show you why in the photos.
Do you work around tenants and business hours?
Yes. We schedule inspections and repairs around tenant hours, coordinate roof access with property management, and can work nights or weekends on occupied downtown buildings.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial work in San Diego?
Yes. California First Roofing is a licensed California roofing contractor (CSLB #1094851), fully insured, and factory-certified on the major commercial membrane systems including TPO, torch-down modified bitumen, and coatings.
