Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection

A commercial roof inspection in Upland is where every good project starts. Our crew walks the roof and checks the membrane field for bruising and punctures, seams and laps for separation, flashings at parapets and curbs, penetrations around HVAC and vents, drains and scuppers for ponding risk, and edge metal for wind lift. We document what we find with photos, note age related wear separately from storm damage, and write it up so you can share it with ownership or your insurance carrier. Upland's flat terrain and mixed age commercial building stock mean a lot of low slope roofs are quietly close to needing attention, and a thorough inspection keeps small problems in Upland from turning into expensive interior damage later.

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

Every roof penetration on a Upland building is a promise someone made with sealant. Pitch pans dry and crack on a five to seven year cycle regardless of what the roof around them is doing. Boots split, clamps loosen, and the sealant bead that was flexible at install turns to chalk. Grant County maintenance programs exist mostly to keep re making those small promises before they break.

Safety compliance rides on every Upland Commercial Roofing job: fall protection planned before mobilization, perimeter warning systems on low slope work, and documentation Upland building owners can hand their insurer. Commercial roofing is dangerous work done above valuable operations, and Grant County owners should never have to wonder whether the crew on their roof is covered.

Just want a straight answer about your roof? Call Upland Commercial Roofing at (765) 978-5086. Whether the coating pitch was right, whether the section has years left, whether the repair beats the replacement, Upland owners get the evidence and the honest read either way. Across Grant County, the second opinion desk has earned us more buildings than any bid ever has.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

The scope you approve in Upland is the scope you get billed for.

One contractor, one scope, one accountable phone number. Upland Commercial Roofing carries Upland commercial projects from the first walk to the registered warranty, so nothing lands between subcontractors.

Upland Commercial Roofing was founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, who has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6, and we've spent those years focused on commercial roofing across central Indiana. We serve Upland, the rest of Grant County, and surrounding communities like Marion, Gas City, Jonesboro, Fairmount, Sweetser, and Swayzee. Our crews are local, licensed and insured in Indiana under RC21100059, and used to the mix of flat and low slope commercial roofs common throughout Upland. Whether you manage a Main Street block or a flex warehouse on the edge of town, we handle the roof so you can handle the tenants. Grant County weather is not gentle on membranes, and we build that reality into every job.

The way we work in Upland is straightforward. We start with a thorough walk of the commercial roof, photograph the seams, flashings, penetrations, drains, and any areas showing storm or age damage, and put the findings into a clear written report. From there you get an honest written estimate with the scope spelled out, so there is no guessing about what is included and what is not. On the roof, our crews keep the work area clean, protect the building below, and detail penetrations and edges the way commercial membranes actually need to be detailed. No sales theater, just commercial roofing done in a way you can hand to an owner.

Our Promise

We make three commitments to every Upland property manager who calls. First, a free on site inspection of your commercial roof before any work is scoped or sold. Second, an honest written estimate with clear line items, so there are no surprise add ons after the crew shows up. Third, clean workmanship on the roof and around the building, backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to the materials we install. That is the baseline you get from Upland Commercial Roofing, whether the job is a small repair or a full replacement.

Why Upland Chooses Us

Where Upland Commercial Roofing Is Different in Upland

Serving Upland and Grant County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.

Storm And Hail Response

Grant County sees recurring hail and high wind events, and hail can bruise a membrane in ways you won't spot from the ground. When storms move through, we prioritize scheduling for commercial buildings with active leaks or visible damage, document what we find with photos, and give you a clear path forward before the next rain.

Upland Commercial Experience

We work on the kinds of commercial roofs Upland actually has, flat and low slope membrane systems, metal panel roofs on industrial and institutional buildings, and older parapet fronted downtown blocks. That means the crew already knows how these assemblies fail and where to look. You get an inspection that matches your building, not a generic checklist.

Full-Scope Commercial Roofing

From the first inspection through a completed replacement, we handle the whole arc of commercial roofing. Inspections, repairs, emergency repairs, full replacements, and metal roofing installs all run through the same crew and the same standards. Upland property managers get one point of contact instead of chasing three trades.

Insurance Documentation Done Right

Storm claims live or die on documentation. We photograph the damage, describe it in language an adjuster can use, and separate storm damage from age related wear so the report holds up. You keep the file, share it with your carrier, and know exactly what the roof looked like on the day we walked it.

Our Process

Step by Step on Upland Buildings

Step one is the on site inspection. We meet you at the Upland property, walk the commercial roof, and look at the membrane field, seams, flashings, penetrations, edge metal, and drains. Anything that looks like storm damage, age damage, or a detail that was never right gets photographed and noted. Before we talk about scope or price, you get a clear picture of the roof's current condition. That way the conversation about repair versus replacement is grounded in what is actually on your building, not a guess from the parking lot.

Step two is the written estimate and, when it applies, the insurance piece. You get an honest written estimate with the scope laid out in plain language, so line items are not a surprise. If the damage looks storm related, we hand you documentation you can submit to your insurance carrier and we're happy to be on the roof with the adjuster when they come out to your Upland property. works with your insurance carrier and we never name drop carriers, the claim stays between you and them, we just make sure the roof evidence is solid.

Step three is the work and the walkthrough. Once the scope is approved, we schedule the job around your Upland tenants and operations as much as we can, stage materials so the site stays workable, and protect the building below while the crew is on the roof. When the commercial roofing work is finished, we walk the roof with you or your representative, review what was done, and clean up the site. You get the final documentation for your building records.

Free Inspection With Photos

Every project starts with a no obligation inspection of your commercial roof. We photograph seams, flashings, penetrations, and any damaged areas, then share what we found. You get a real look at the roof before anyone talks price.

Honest Written Estimate

After the inspection, you receive a written estimate with the scope spelled out. Line items are described in plain language so you can compare apples to apples. If something is optional, we say so instead of burying it in the total.

Insurance Documentation

For storm related damage on your Upland commercial roof, we document conditions with photos and notes you can hand to your insurance carrier. We work alongside your adjuster on site when helpful. works with your insurance carrier, the claim stays yours to manage.

Clean Work, Final Walkthrough

The crew keeps the site tidy, protects landscaping and entries, and manages debris as the job goes. When the roof is complete, we walk it with you, review the finished details, and hand over the documentation for your building file.

Common Causes

What we see most often on Upland commercial roofs

Upland property managers typically call us about these scenarios.

Wet Insulation Spreading Under the Membrane

The wet area under a low slope roof is almost always larger than the ceiling stain, because water gets past the membrane and travels sideways through the insulation until something stops it. An infrared scan does not see water. It sees heat, and wet board holds warmth longer after sunset, so it lights up at night. That tells Upland Commercial Roofing where to look, and a core cut tells you whether it is wet.

Coping Joints Feeding the Wall Below

Coping caps the top of a parapet, and the joints between sections move all year with temperature. When splice plates and sealant give up, water goes into the top of the wall and turns up inside on a floor nobody associates with the roof. Upland Commercial Roofing inspects coping joints and parapet base flashing together on Upland buildings, because they are one system and they fail as one.

Chalking and Shrinkage on an Older Roof

White TPO and PVC chalk as the surface weathers, and a chalky membrane is harder to weld to, which matters on the day somebody needs to make a repair. EPDM fails the other direction: the sheet shrinks over the years and pulls flashings down off the parapet and away from the corners.

Seams Letting Go on a Taped EPDM Roof

EPDM is a thermoset rubber, so its laps are taped or adhered rather than heat welded the way TPO and PVC are. The adhesive is what ages, and it usually gives up first at T joints where three plies stack on top of each other. A lap rebuilt while it is still just a lap is a maintenance line item. The same lap found two years later is an insulation replacement.

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 Upland is forced replacement after interior damage instead of planned replacement on a budget cycle. Upland Commercial Roofing gives building owners a documented condition baseline and a realistic runway to plan against.

Common Questions

Things Upland Managers Want to Know

Straight answers to the questions Upland property managers ask most.

Typically, we schedule Upland inspections promptly and move storm damage and active leak calls to the front of the line. When a system moves through Grant County, our schedule fills fast, so the sooner you call, the sooner we can be on your roof. For non emergency inspections, we'll set a time that works around your tenants and operations. If water is coming in right now, tell us that on the first call so we can prioritize. Call to get on the schedule and we'll confirm timing directly.
It depends on the size of the roof, the system, and the condition of what's underneath. Most Upland commercial repairs land in a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, while full replacements on larger buildings typically run into the tens of thousands and up depending on square footage, insulation, and membrane or metal choice. Anyone quoting a firm number without walking your roof is guessing. Our free inspection give you the real range for your specific building. Schedule the inspection and we'll put honest numbers on paper.
It depends on your policy and the nature of the damage. Sudden storm and hail damage is generally covered subject to your deductible, while age related wear, ponding, and long term deterioration usually are not. Your insurance carrier makes the final call, not us. What we do is document the damage clearly with photos and notes so you have solid evidence to submit. works with your insurance carrier and we never speak for them, the claim stays between you and your carrier.
It depends on the age of the system, how widespread the damage is, and how many repairs the roof has already had. A localized issue on an otherwise sound membrane is usually a repair. Widespread hail bruising, failing seams across large areas, saturated insulation, or a system past its expected service life often points to replacement. We walk the roof, show you what we find in photos, and give you an honest recommendation with both options where they make sense. Schedule an inspection and we'll lay it out.
In Upland, our inspection covers the membrane field, seams and laps, flashings at parapets and curbs, penetrations around HVAC and vents, drains and scuppers, and edge metal. We look for storm damage, age related wear, ponding, and detailing that was never right to begin with. Everything gets photographed and written into a report you can keep. If we find nothing urgent, we'll tell you that too. Schedule a free inspection and you'll have a documented baseline of your roof's condition.
It depends on the scope and the weather. Most repairs are completed in a day or two once materials are on site. A full commercial roof replacement in Upland typically runs from several days to a few weeks, depending on square footage, tear off complexity, insulation, and the roof system going back on. Weather in Grant County can shift the schedule, and we plan around that. We'll give you a realistic timeline in the written estimate before the job starts.
Typically, two layers of coverage apply. Our workmanship warranty covers the labor and installation details we performed, and the materials we install carry the standard manufacturer coverage that comes with that product. The specifics vary by system, membrane thickness, and scope of work, so we spell out what applies to your project in the written estimate rather than making blanket promises. Ask during the inspection and we'll walk through what your specific roof would carry.
In Upland, start by documenting what you can see safely from the ground with photos and notes, including any debris, displaced metal, or interior water spots. Do not climb the roof yourself. Call your insurance carrier to open a claim if damage is apparent, and call a commercial roofer to get eyes on the roof and document conditions properly. The longer storm damage sits, the more interior damage it causes. Schedule a free inspection and we'll get the roof documented for your file and your claim.
Indiana Climate

Indiana Weather Affects Commercial Roofs Year Round

Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Upland 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

Grant County has taken repeated hail hits, including golf ball sized stones in nearby Marion and Sweetser and quarter to ping pong sized hail across the county in early 2026. On Upland commercial roofs, hail bruises single ply and modified bitumen membranes in ways that only show up months later as leaks. When we're called in, we map the impacts, document each one, and recommend repair or replacement based on density of hits.

Wind Lift At Seams And Edges

The same storm systems that bring hail bring straight line winds strong enough to down utility poles in Grant County. On low slope commercial roofs, that wind pries at edge metal and lifts membrane seams, and once a seam opens, water finds it fast. We check perimeter fastening, re secure lifted areas, and re detail seams and terminations before the next system rolls through.

Ponding After Heavy Rain

Upland sits on flat Grant County terrain, and flat roofs with clogged drains or settled insulation pond water long after the rain stops. Standing water accelerates membrane breakdown, stresses seams, and adds dead load the roof was not designed to carry. On Upland commercial buildings we clear drains, check slope, and address low spots before ponding turns into interior damage.

Aging Membrane And Flashing

Many commercial roofs in Upland were built or last replaced decades ago, and original built up systems and early single ply membranes past 20 to 30 years are living on borrowed time. Flashings dry out, laps open, and metal edges corrode. We assess remaining service life honestly and tell you whether repair still makes sense or whether it's time to plan a replacement.

Material Guide

Choosing the Right Commercial Roof System in Upland

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

TPO Membrane

The most common commercial roof in Upland is a low slope membrane system, typically TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen over insulation. Property managers choose these because they handle flat and gently sloped decks well, seal cleanly around HVAC curbs and vents, and can be repaired in sections when a seam or penetration fails. Installed correctly, with attention to seams and terminations, a single ply membrane gives Upland commercial buildings a straightforward, cost effective roof that fits the way these buildings are already built.

Most specifiedReflective surface$$
EPDM Rubber

For Upland commercial buildings that keep taking hail hits, a heavier or reinforced membrane is worth the upgrade. Thicker TPO or PVC, fleece backed sheets, or a modified bitumen cap with a granulated surface stand up to hail impact better than the thinnest single ply options. The upfront cost is higher, but on buildings under Grant County's hail pattern, that extra thickness often means one fewer insurance claim and several more years before the next major roof project. We'll tell you when the upgrade actually pencils out.

Proven service lifeSimple repairs$$$
Standing Seam Metal

Standing seam and structural metal panel systems are the long life option for Upland commercial and institutional buildings. Done right, a metal roof can outlast two or three membrane cycles and shrugs off hail and wind better than most alternatives. The tradeoff is higher upfront cost, more careful detailing at penetrations and transitions, and a longer install. For buildings owners plan to hold for decades, or where the architecture already calls for metal, it's often the strongest long term move.
