As a rule, standing seam on a Sunland property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
We check ventilation on every Sunland job, given that a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated service life. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Infrared scanning on a Sunland commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. A Sunland inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
