Collect the system history
Use product documents, roof plans, warranty records, core or opening reports, repair invoices, and equipment-work records. Note membrane type, installation or recovery date, attachment, insulation, cover board, deck, and known retained layers only where supported.
Map the surface features
A professional report should label seams, patches, drains, scuppers, overflow, curbs, parapets, copings, walk pads, equipment supports, and penetrations. Include direction and roof zones so a close-up can be located later. Roof access remains controlled even on low slopes.
Ask what a coating changes
A coating or overlay proposal should address compatibility, preparation, adhesion, existing moisture, seams, terminations, drainage, repair of damaged areas, and warranty effect. It should not hide an undiagnosed leak or make a wet concealed assembly disappear from the scope.
Keep layer-by-layer evidence
Save material identification, test results, wet-area boundary, removed layers, new products, seam method, weather, application or fastening records when supplied, drain details, and concealed photos. Mark areas not treated so the next inspection does not assume a uniform system.
Call about the roof
Have the address, safe ground or interior observations, event timing, access contact, and any roof or permit record nearby. The call may connect you with an independent provider. Confirm who answered, Madison coverage, service fit, credentials, insurance, availability, price, permit responsibility, and contract terms.
