Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A commercial roof inspection in West Lafayette is not a five minute glance from a ladder. Our crew walks the full roof, checks membrane seams and terminations, inspects flashings at parapets, curbs, and penetrations, looks at drains and low spots where water sits, and documents any hail bruising, wind damage, or age related fatigue with photos. On research park buildings and lab facilities with dense rooftop equipment, we pay close attention to the flashings around every unit because that is where leaks start. You get a written summary of the findings so you can make an informed call on repair versus replacement. Catching a lifted seam or a failed pitch pocket early is how West Lafayette property managers keep small commercial roof problems from turning into expensive interior damage.

Tenants in West Lafayette buildings report leaks late and vaguely. By the time a complaint reaches the property manager, the drip has usually been caught in a trash can for a month, and the stain on the deck above tells a longer story. Multiply that delay across a Tippecanoe County portfolio and the difference between a repair line item and a capital event is mostly reporting speed.
Warranty work gets the same crews and the same urgency as new installs at West Lafayette Commercial Roofing. West Lafayette owners with manufacturer coverage get repairs done to the approved details that keep coverage intact, and the annual inspections that the fine print quietly requires. Across Tippecanoe County, the cheapest inspection is the one that keeps a warranty enforceable.
West Lafayette Commercial Roofing maintenance agreements put West Lafayette buildings on a two visit calendar: spring walk after the freeze, fall walk before it, drains cleared and details resealed both times. The visits cost less than the leaks they prevent, and the documentation keeps warranties enforceable. Call (765) 703-7292 to add your Tippecanoe County building to the schedule.

West Lafayette Commercial Roofing works West Lafayette commercial roofs the way owners run buildings: on data. Core samples and moisture readings before recommendations, written scopes with unit prices, and a closeout package built for the capital file.
West Lafayette Commercial Roofing was founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, who has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6, and the company has spent years focused specifically on commercial roofing across central Indiana. We serve West Lafayette, the wider Tippecanoe County market, and surrounding communities including Lafayette, Battle Ground, Dayton, Shadeland, Clarks Hill, and Otterbein. Our crews are local, licensed and insured, and operate under Indiana license RC21100059. Property managers in West Lafayette call us for one reason, they need someone who works on commercial roofs day in and day out, not a residential outfit stretching into flat membrane work.
The way we work on a West Lafayette commercial roof is straightforward. We climb the roof, walk it slowly, photograph the seams, flashings, penetrations, drains, and any suspect areas, then hand you a written estimate that spells out the scope in plain language. If a repair is the right call, we say so. If the roof is past the point where patching makes financial sense, we say that too, and we show you the photos behind the recommendation. Clean workmanship on commercial membrane and metal systems is the standard, no shortcuts at the flashings where roofs actually fail.
Our Promise
Every West Lafayette property manager who calls West Lafayette Commercial Roofing gets three things. First, a free on site inspection of the commercial roof before any work is proposed, with photos of what we find. Second, an honest written estimate with a clear scope and transparent line items. Third, clean workmanship backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to the standard manufacturer coverage on the materials we install. That is the deal, and it does not change based on the size of the building.
The Case for West Lafayette Commercial Roofing in West Lafayette
Serving West Lafayette and Tippecanoe County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Storm And Hail Response
When a severe thunderstorm rolls through Tippecanoe County with 60 to 70 mph gusts and hail, membrane edges lift, flashings tear, and bruising shows up on the surface. We prioritize storm calls, get the roof documented, and temporary dry in the problem areas so damage does not spread. You get photos and a written scope for the claim conversation.
Built For Local Commercial
West Lafayette commercial roofs are mostly low slope membrane, older BUR and modified bitumen on pre-2000 buildings, newer TPO and EPDM on post-2000 work. We know how each system fails and what it actually costs to repair or replace. That local pattern recognition saves West Lafayette property managers from paying for the wrong fix.
Full Scope, One Crew
From the first inspection through a completed replacement, the work stays with our crews. Inspection, repair, emergency dry in, full replacement, and commercial metal install are all handled in house. You are not passing the roof between three different vendors, which means the accountability stays clear from start to finish.
Claim Documentation Done Right
Insurance adjusters want photos, measurements, and a written scope tied to the damage, not a vague verbal description. On West Lafayette storm claims we document the roof thoroughly and provide the paperwork your carrier and adjuster need. That gives your claim its best shot at reflecting the real condition of the roof.

The Order We Work In on West Lafayette Roofs
It starts with a free on site inspection. A crew member meets you at the West Lafayette property, walks the commercial roof, and looks closely at seams, flashings, drains, penetrations, and any areas where storm damage or age related wear is showing. Findings are photographed and notes are taken on the spot. You are welcome on the roof if you want to see it firsthand, and we walk you through what we are seeing in plain language. Nothing gets recommended until we have a clear picture of the actual condition of the roof, not a guess from the ground.
Next comes the written estimate. We put the scope in writing, list what will be repaired or replaced, and price it honestly with transparent line items later. If the damage is storm related, we hand you the photos, measurements, and written scope you need to file the claim with your insurance carrier. When the adjuster comes out to the West Lafayette property, we can meet them on the roof and walk the damage together. works with your insurance carrier, the claim relationship stays between you and your insurer, but we make sure the documentation supports what actually happened.
Once the scope is approved, we schedule the work around your building operations. West Lafayette research park and retail properties often need coordination around tenant hours, deliveries, or lab equipment sensitivity, and we plan for that. The crew protects the site, keeps the work area clean during the job, and does not leave debris or fasteners behind. When the roof is finished we do a final walkthrough with you, review the workmanship, cover the warranty terms, and hand off any manufacturer documentation on the materials installed.

What we see most often on West Lafayette commercial roofs
West Lafayette 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 West Lafayette Commercial Roofing where to look, and a core cut tells you whether it is wet.
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. West Lafayette Commercial Roofing re-anchors and reseals terminations on a set schedule, because this detail fails quietly and usually gets found by a tenant.
Deferred Maintenance That Compounds
Nothing on a low slope roof fails all at once. A lap opens, the insulation under it takes water, wet board loses compressive strength, the membrane above it moves more, and the next lap opens. West Lafayette Commercial Roofing writes a condition report a facility director can hand to finance, with what has to happen this year and what can honestly wait.
Ice Locking Up the Drain Sump
Through a Central Indiana winter the temperature crosses freezing and comes back on an ordinary day, and the drain sump is where that shows up. Meltwater runs to the drain, refreezes in the sump overnight, and the plug that forms holds the next melt on the roof instead of taking it away. Ice that moves with the temperature works on the clamping ring and the flashing sheet around the drain.
Edge Metal and Corner Uplift After Wind
Edge metal holds the perimeter down, and when it lets go the membrane behind it peels inward like a lid coming off. That is why corners and perimeters get tighter fastener and plate spacing than the field does, and why they are the first thing worth looking at after a blow. West Lafayette Commercial Roofing checks edge securement and the perimeter fastening pattern following a West Lafayette storm.
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. West Lafayette Commercial Roofing inspects coping joints and parapet base flashing together on West Lafayette buildings, because they are one system and they fail as one.

Roof Questions From Across West Lafayette
Straight answers to the questions West Lafayette property managers ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Commercial Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. West Lafayette 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
Quarter size to ping pong ball hail passing through central Indiana leaves bruised, softened spots on TPO and EPDM membranes that may not leak immediately but shorten roof life significantly. On West Lafayette commercial roofs, bruising often clusters around the field and near mechanical units. When called in, we map the impacts, photograph them, and document everything for the claim.
Wind Lifting At Seams
Straight line winds of 60 to 70 mph work at the weakest points of a low slope roof, the seams, edge metal, and flashing terminations. Once wind gets under a lifted edge, it peels the membrane back fast. We reseal, refasten, and replace compromised sections before the next storm turns a lifted edge into a full field failure.
Ponding Water After Rain
Indiana's flat topography and heavy seasonal rain leave standing water on West Lafayette flat roofs where drains are clogged or slope is inadequate. Ponding accelerates membrane breakdown, stresses seams, and voids some manufacturer coverage. We clear drains, address low spots, and rebuild problem areas so water actually leaves the roof.
Aging Membrane And Flashing
On pre-2000 West Lafayette commercial buildings, older BUR and modified bitumen systems are past or approaching the end of expected service life, and flashings are usually the first thing to give up. Cracked laps, dried out sealant, and failing pitch pockets show up long before the field does. We assess whether targeted repair still makes sense or whether replacement is the smarter dollar.
Choosing the Right Commercial Roof System in West Lafayette
An honest breakdown of the three low slope systems we install most frequently.
TPO single ply membrane is the most common choice on West Lafayette commercial roofs built or re roofed in the last twenty years. Owners pick it because it is cost effective, heat welded seams hold up well against wind, and the light colored surface reflects heat, which helps on office and retail buildings running heavy cooling loads. It works across a wide range of low slope commercial applications, from small retail pads to larger research park facilities, and repairs are straightforward when a qualified crew handles them.
EPDM rubber membrane is a durable step up for West Lafayette commercial properties, especially buildings with high rooftop foot traffic or dense mechanical equipment. It handles temperature swings and freeze thaw cycles well, resists hail impact better than aged modified bitumen, and has a long service history in central Indiana. The upfront cost sits above basic TPO in some configurations, but for lab buildings, multi family, and properties where roof access is constant, the toughness pays back over the life of the roof.
Standing seam metal roofing is the premium long life option for West Lafayette commercial and institutional buildings, particularly steep slope sections, entryways, and architectural applications. Properly installed metal can last decades, sheds water aggressively, and handles wind and hail well when the panel gauge is right. The tradeoff is upfront cost and the need for a crew that understands panel expansion, clip spacing, and flashing details. For the right building, it is the last roof the owner buys for a very long time.
