Roof size and access: Larger roofs and limited access points add walk time, which is what paid inspections bill for.

System type and age: Older systems and multi-layer roofs take longer to assess properly.

Documentation depth: Lender and insurance-grade reports require more photos and notes than a quick condition check.

Follow-up scope: If the inspection surfaces work, you get a written scope with numbers before anything proceeds.

TPO: Seams are heat welded, so probing weld integrity is the core of a TPO inspection, along with surface wear at high-traffic paths.

EPDM: Seam tape ages before the rubber does. Corners, terminations, and shrinkage stress get extra attention.

PVC: Plasticizer loss makes older PVC brittle. We check flexibility and chemical exposure zones, especially near kitchen or process exhaust.

Modified Bitumen: Granule loss and lap integrity tell the story. UV-exposed laps and worn granule areas get documented closely.

Metal: Fastener back-out, panel movement, and sealant joints. Metal rarely leaks in the field of the panel; it leaks at the details.
