Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection

A commercial roof inspection in Griffith starts with a full walk of the roof surface, not a glance from a ladder. The crew checks membrane field condition, seam integrity, flashing at parapets and curbs, drains and scuppers, penetrations around HVAC units, and any visible signs of storm bruising, wind uplift, or age related failure. Every finding gets photographed and mapped so you have documentation, not just an opinion. On the older flat roof stock across Griffith, small issues like a lifted seam or a cracked pitch pan turn into interior damage fast, and catching them early is the difference between a patch and a tear off. Free inspection, no obligation, written report delivered to you.

I agree to be contacted by Griffith Commercial Roofing regarding my inquiry.

Wind does not need a named storm to damage Griffith roofs. Sustained IN gusts work at perimeter details season after season, fatiguing fasteners and stretching membrane at the corners where uplift concentrates. The failure looks sudden, a section peeled back after an ordinary front, but the roof had been losing that fight quietly for years across Lake County.

Griffith Commercial Roofing serves Griffith property managers the way managers actually work: one point of contact, schedules that hold, and reports readable by a board that will never set foot on the roof. Across Lake County, the buildings on our inspection calendar are the ones whose owners stopped learning about their roofs from their tenants.

Storm moved through Lake County? Griffith Commercial Roofing inspects Griffith commercial roofs with the documentation carriers require, photographed and dated before weather erases the evidence. Claims move when the file is complete, and ours are. Call (317) 342-7736 to schedule a post storm assessment, and get findings you can forward to your adjuster the same week.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

We put roof condition in plain language so the people approving the spend can follow it.

Every Lake County building type reads differently on the roof: warehouse spans, office parapets, retail penetrations. Griffith Commercial Roofing surveys what is actually up there and scopes to the building, not to a template.

Griffith Commercial Roofing serves Griffith and the surrounding Lake County commercial market, including Hammond, Highland, Merrillville, Schererville, Munster, and East Chicago. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, the company has spent years working on low slope membrane roofs, metal panel systems, and aging built up assemblies common on Griffith commercial buildings. Our crews are licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059, and we work locally so a Griffith property manager is not waiting on someone driving in from three counties away. We handle inspections, repairs, emergency calls, full replacements, and metal roofing installs on Griffith commercial properties in Lake County.

The way we work in Griffith is straightforward. A crew gets on the roof, walks the membrane, checks seams, flashing, drains, curbs, and rooftop equipment penetrations, and documents everything with photos. You get a written estimate with a clear scope, not a napkin number, so you can compare line items and understand what is repair versus what is replacement. When we do the work, we do it cleanly, protect the property below, and keep the site tidy through completion. No invented certifications, no upsell theater, just commercial roofing done to trade standard.

Our Promise

Three commitments to every Griffith property manager we work with. First, a free on site inspection of the commercial roof before anything is quoted, so you are not paying to find out what you have. Second, an honest written estimate with a clear scope and transparent line items added mid project. Third, clean workmanship backed by a workmanship warranty, alongside the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to the materials we install. Simple, and in writing.

Why Griffith Chooses Us

What You Get on a Griffith Project

Serving Griffith and Lake County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.

Storm And Hail Response

Northwest Indiana takes hits from straight line winds and hail on a regular basis, and commercial membrane roofs show that damage in specific ways. We get out after storms to inspect for bruising, seam separation, and lifted flashing before leaks start showing inside. You get photo documentation and a clear repair scope, not guesswork.

Griffith Commercial Experience

The Griffith commercial stock skews older, with a lot of built up roofing and early modified bitumen still in service past its design life. We know what those assemblies look like when they fail and where to probe. That means a Griffith property manager gets accurate assessments instead of a boilerplate quote.

Full Scope, One Crew

From the initial inspection through repair, emergency response, replacement, or a metal roof install, the same company handles it. No handoffs between vendors, no finger pointing when something needs a follow up. One point of contact, one written scope, one crew doing the work.

Insurance Documentation Done Right

When a Griffith commercial roof takes storm damage, the claim rises or falls on documentation. We photograph the damage in detail, note the failure modes, and provide a written scope your insurance carrier and adjuster can actually use. You stay in control of the claim, and the paperwork holds up.

Our Process

Your Griffith Project, Start to Close Out

Step one is the inspection. A crew comes out to your Griffith commercial property, walks the roof, and documents current condition with photos. That includes membrane field, seams, flashings, drains, penetrations, and anywhere storm exposure or age is showing up. Before we talk about work, you get a clear picture of what the roof actually needs, broken out by what is urgent, what can wait, and what is nearing end of service. No pressure, no scope creep, just an honest read on the roof.

Step two is the estimate. You get a written estimate with a defined scope, materials, and pricing so nothing shows up later as a surprise. If the damage is storm related, we package the photo documentation and the scope so your insurance carrier and adjuster have what they need to evaluate the claim. works with your insurance carrier and we do not name drop carriers we are not part of. You stay the decision maker on your Griffith commercial roof.

Step three is the work. We schedule around your tenants and operations where possible, stage materials to keep the site safe, and protect entrances, landscaping, and rooftop equipment during the job. The crew keeps the site clean day to day, not just at the end. When the commercial roofing work wraps, we do a final walkthrough with you, review what was done, and handle full cleanup including a magnet sweep for fasteners on Griffith properties where that applies.

Free Inspection With Photos

A crew walks the roof, checks the full assembly, and documents condition with photos. You get a written report of findings, not a verbal impression. Free, no obligation to move forward.

Honest Written Estimate

Scope, materials, and pricing in writing before work begins on your Griffith commercial roof. Line items are explained, not buried. If something changes mid project, you approve it before we touch it.

Insurance Documentation Support

For storm claims, we provide the photos, measurements, and scope your insurance carrier needs to evaluate the damage. We work alongside your adjuster. works with your insurance carrier and we do not speak for them.

Clean Work, Final Walkthrough

The crew protects the property during the job and keeps the site tidy. At completion, we walk the finished roof with you, review the work, and clear all debris and fasteners before leaving.

Common Causes

What we see most often on Griffith commercial roofs

Griffith property managers typically call us about these scenarios.

Terminations Standing Off the Wall

Base flashing runs up the wall and gets held there by a termination bar with a sealant bead above it. Masonry backing crumbles, screws loosen, and the top edge stands off far enough to take water behind the flashing where nobody can see it. Griffith Commercial Roofing re-anchors and reseals terminations on a set schedule, because this detail fails quietly and usually gets found by a tenant.

Storm and Wind Damage

Wind peels membrane at corners and perimeters where uplift is highest, and hail bruises single ply in ways that fail two winters later. Griffith Commercial Roofing documents damage to commercial carrier standards, separates storm damage from wear in writing, and supports the claim through adjuster review so Griffith building owners are not funding covered repairs out of pocket.

Fasteners Backing Out Under the Membrane

Look across a mechanically attached roof in low sun and the fastener rows show themselves. Where a plate has worked loose from years of expansion and contraction, the screw head stands proud and abrades the membrane from underneath until it wears through.

Aging Membrane at End of Service Life

TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen all reach a point where the sheet has given up what kept it flexible, and how soon depends on the system, the exposure, and the maintenance history. The expensive version of this in Griffith is forced replacement after interior damage instead of planned replacement on a budget cycle. Griffith Commercial Roofing gives building owners a documented condition baseline and a realistic runway to plan against.

Low Spots That Never Fully Drain

Ponding is the industry term for water still up there 48 hours after the rain stops. Standing water adds load, the deck deflects a little more under it, and in winter the ice shifts with every temperature swing and scrubs the membrane. Low slope roofs are designed for a quarter inch per foot minimum, and where that never got built, Griffith Commercial Roofing adds tapered insulation and crickets.

Ponding Water and Drainage Failure

Water still standing 48 hours after rain accelerates membrane aging, voids portions of some warranties, and finds every seam defect on a Griffith low slope roof. Clogged drains and crushed insulation are the usual causes. Griffith Commercial Roofing clears the drainage path, corrects slope with tapered insulation where needed, and documents conditions for the warranty file.

Common Questions

What Owners Ask Before Signing a Scope

Straight answers to the questions Griffith property managers ask most.

Typically, we schedule Griffith commercial roof inspections promptly, and active storm damage or open leaks get priority on the calendar. We do not promise a specific arrival hour because honest scheduling depends on current call volume and weather, but storm response is the queue we work first. When you call, describe the situation, whether there is active leaking, visible damage, or a planned inspection, so we can slot it correctly. Call to have it looked at and we will confirm timing directly.
It depends on the scope, the assembly, and the roof area, but here are honest ballparks. Most Griffith commercial roof repairs fall in the low four figures to low five figures, depending on how much membrane and flashing work is involved. Replacements typically run into six figures on larger industrial and retail buildings, driven by square footage, insulation, tear off, and the membrane system chosen. The free inspection is what sets the real number, because a written estimate needs actual measurements and condition data. Schedule a free inspection to get pricing that means something.
It depends on your policy and whether the damage is sudden storm related or age related wear. Sudden hail and wind damage is typically covered by commercial property policies, subject to your deductible, while gradual membrane wear and deferred maintenance usually are not. We document the damage with detailed photos and a written scope your insurance carrier and adjuster can evaluate, works with your insurance carrier and we do not speak for them. You stay in control of the claim. Document the damage with photos and call for an inspection.
It depends on the age of the assembly, the extent of damage, and how much of the field is still sound. Typically, if damage is localized, the membrane still has life left, and flashings are intact, a targeted repair is the right call. When the roof is past expected service life, the field membrane is brittle, or repairs keep stacking up, replacement usually pencils out better long term. Many older Griffith buildings sit right at that decision point. A free inspection gives you the data to decide.
In Griffith, a full inspection covers the roof field, seams, flashings at parapets and curbs, drains and scuppers, penetrations around HVAC and vents, and any visible storm or age damage. The crew walks the entire roof, probes suspect areas, and documents condition with photos. You get a written report of findings, not a verbal impression, so you have something to act on and to keep in your building records. Schedule a free inspection to get one on file.
It depends on the scope and the weather. Most repairs on Griffith commercial roofs wrap in a day or two once scheduled. Full replacements typically run one to several weeks depending on square footage, tear off, insulation, and the membrane system. Weather delays are real in Northwest Indiana, and we do not install membrane in conditions that compromise adhesion or seams. You get a schedule with the written estimate, and we update you if anything shifts.
Typically, two things apply. A workmanship warranty from us covering the installation, and the standard manufacturer warranty covering the materials themselves, which varies by system and manufacturer. Terms are spelled out in writing with your estimate and again at project close, so there is no ambiguity about what is covered and for how long. We do not invent warranty terms or claim status we do not hold. Ask during the inspection and we will walk through what applies to your specific system.
In Griffith, the first move after a storm is a visual check from the ground and, if safe, a look inside for ceiling stains or active drips. Document anything visible with photos and note the date and time of the storm for your records. Do not send untrained staff onto a commercial roof, especially with wet membrane or debris. Call for a professional inspection so damage is documented properly for your insurance carrier before it gets worse. Storm damage gets more expensive the longer it sits.
Yes, we work with Griffith property managers handling single buildings, multi tenant industrial sites, and retail portfolios across Lake County. Inspections can be scheduled as a portfolio walk so you get one consolidated report covering condition, remaining service life estimates, and prioritized recommendations. That gives you the data to plan capital budgets instead of reacting building by building. Call to set up a portfolio inspection and we will scope it around your properties.
Indiana Climate

Indiana Weather Affects Commercial Roofs Year Round

Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Griffith property managers deal with spring hail and severe thunderstorms, summer UV exposure, fall wind storms, and winter freeze thaw cycles. Understanding these patterns is how we plan maintenance, repairs, and replacement work.

Hail Bruising On Membrane

Griffith sits in a hail prone stretch of Northwest Indiana, and hail impact on single ply and modified bitumen membranes often does not leak right away. It bruises the membrane, weakens the reinforcement, and shortens service life quietly. When we inspect after a hail event, we probe suspect areas and document strike patterns for the claim.

Wind Uplift At Seams

High wind events, including gusts recorded well over 90 mph in this corridor, peel membrane at seams and edges where adhesion is already tired. Once a seam lifts, water tracks under the field and the damage grows with every rain. We reseal, refasten, or re flash the affected zones and check the surrounding field for related failure.

Ponding Water After Rain

Griffith's low lying, historically swampy terrain means low slope commercial roofs collect standing water, especially around drains and rooftop HVAC curbs. Ponding accelerates membrane breakdown and stresses seams over time. We assess drainage, tapered insulation options, and drain condition, then scope repairs or replacement based on what the roof actually needs.

Aging Flashing And Membrane

A large share of Griffith commercial buildings pre date 1970, and the flashings and membranes on many of those roofs are past expected service life. Pitch pans crack, base flashings pull, and field membrane gets brittle. We inspect, document what is failing, and lay out honest repair versus replacement options with a written scope.

Choosing the Right Commercial Roof System in Griffith

An honest breakdown of the three low slope systems we install most frequently.

TPO Membrane

Modified bitumen and built up roofing remain common on Griffith commercial buildings, especially on the older mid century industrial and retail stock. Owners choose these systems for proven low slope performance, straightforward repair, and reasonable installed cost. Multi ply assemblies handle foot traffic from rooftop HVAC service well and hold up to typical Lake County weather when flashings and seams are maintained. When the field is worn but the deck is sound, a modified bitumen recover or replacement often makes practical sense.

Most specifiedReflective surface$$
EPDM Rubber

TPO and PVC single ply membranes are the common upgrade for Griffith commercial properties looking for better long term value than an aging built up roof. These systems reflect heat, resist ponding better than tired BUR, and hold up to hail and wind exposure when properly detailed at seams and terminations. The upgrade is worth it on buildings with heavy rooftop equipment, larger roof areas, or a history of storm claims, where the improved durability pays back over the service life.

Proven service lifeSimple repairs$$$
Standing Seam Metal

Standing seam metal roofing is the premium long life option for Griffith commercial buildings, particularly on retail, warehouse additions, and mansard or steep slope sections. Expected service life runs decades, and the panels handle wind and hail exposure well when installed with correct clip spacing and flashing. The tradeoff is higher upfront cost and more careful detailing at penetrations and transitions. For owners planning to hold the property long term, the math often works.

Commercial Roofs Throughout Griffith

Commercial Roofing projects completed across Griffith's commercial districts and business corridors. Click any neighborhood for the specifics we have learned working there.

This is Griffith's oldest residential and commercial district, centered on North Broad Street, with homes dating to the early 1900s through the 1940s. Properties here are among the town's oldest, meaning original galvanized plumbing and early cast iron sewer laterals are likely still in place in many structures, representing high failure risk. View Downtown / Broad Street Corridor commercial roofing details →
The Ridge Road corridor represents one of Griffith's earlier residential development zones, with homes generally built from the 1930s through the 1950s. Structures in this zone were built before copper plumbing became standard, making galvanized supply line deterioration a known risk. View Ridge Road Area commercial roofing details →
Subdivisions near the Oak Ridge Cemetery on Griffith's perimeter represent the town's later growth phases, generally from the 1960s through the 1980s. Homes in this zone are more likely to have copper supply plumbing, though early copper joints installed in the 1960s,70s are reaching a stage where pinhole leaks and joint failures occur. View Oak Ridge Cemetery Area / Newer Subdivisions commercial roofing details →
This residential area surrounding Franklin Fields Park features predominantly mid century single family homes built during Griffith's peak growth period of the 1950s,1970s. Full basements are typical of this construction era, and original perimeter drain tile systems,where present,are at or past functional lifespan, contributing to water infiltration along foundation walls during heavy rainfall. View Franklin Fields / South Griffith commercial roofing details →
The Kolling area in northern Griffith developed primarily in the post-WWII era through the 1960s, with ranch style homes on slab or shallow full basement foundations common to the period. Homes here lie in closer proximity to the Grand Calumet River influence zone, which can raise groundwater tables seasonally and put pressure on foundation walls and sump systems. Plumbing in homes of this vintage commonly includes galvanized steel supply lines now subject to interior corrosion, reduced water pressure, and sudden failure.
