Detailed reports, infrared moisture detection and clear recommendations for protecting your building.


About Pillar Roofing
The best roofing decisions come from accurate information, not guesswork. That's why every Pillar Roofing inspection is supported by professional technology—including moisture detection, infrared scanning, aerial drone mapping, digital measurements, core sampling, and detailed reporting software. The right tools help us uncover hidden problems, verify our findings, and provide clear, documented answers so you can make confident decisions about your roof with facts instead of assumptions.

About Pillar Roofing
Every Pillar Roofing Coordinator inspection is supported by a comprehensive report designed to give you a clear understanding of your roofing system.
Our reports combine professional research, detailed digital photographs, material and system information, observed conditions, recommended remedies, a proposed scope of work, and the logistics required to complete it properly. Instead of receiving a simple list of problems, you receive a carefully organized roofing roadmap—one you can review for yourself, share with decision-makers, and use to make informed repair, maintenance, or replacement decisions.

About Pillar Roofing
After a roof has absorbed the sun’s heat throughout the day, our Infrared Camera survey can be performed at dusk as the roof begins to cool. Dry roofing materials release heat more quickly, while insulation with trapped moisture stays warmer longer.
The Infrared Camera detects these temperature differences, revealing thermal patterns that may indicate pockets of wet insulation hidden beneath the roof membrane.
This noninvasive technology allows Pillar Roofing to examine what may be happening below the roof without immediately cutting, probing, or removing large sections of the system.
Once the affected areas are identified and verified, the damaged insulation can often be removed and replaced through targeted spot repairs—preserving the dry insulation and avoiding the unnecessary cost of replacing the entire roof system.

About Pillar Roofing
A roof core sample is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools available. Think of it as a window into your roof's history.
Your Pillar Roofing Coordinator will remove a small section, "Core-Cut," of the roofing system. We can identify every layer that has been installed over the life of the building, the insulation types and thicknesses, moisture conditions, attachment methods, and the overall condition of the roof assembly.
This information tells us not only how the roof was built, but also how it has performed over the past 30, 40, or even 50 years.
If two roofs are already in place and the system has reached the end of its service life, a complete tear-off is typically required before a new roof can be installed.
A properly performed Core-Cut removes the guesswork, allowing us to design the right roofing system, prepare accurate budgets, and ensure your project complies with current building codes.

About Pillar Roofing
Every roof has a life cycle, and our job is to help you get the most value from every year of it.
Think of us as your roof's physician—we diagnose the condition, prescribe the right repairs, and develop a practical treatment plan based on your building's needs and your capital budget.
When a full replacement isn't financially feasible today, we'll coordinate strategic repairs and maintenance that safely extend the roof's service life while you prepare for future capital funding.
The goal is simple: keep your building protected, avoid costly emergencies, and make sure you're ready when it's time to invest in a new roofing system.
Reviews
Real feedback on roof inspections, clear reports, and service that helps protect your building.
“Pillar Roofing replaced my roof and gutters last month and they did an excellent job. Steve and George are awesome! They were very quick to respond and answer any questions that we had. I highly recommend Pillar if you need a new roof!!”
“Can’t recommend Pillar Roofing enough! Steve and Wayne came out within a day of my talking to them, took their pictures and came back with several bid offers, everything from a full rebuild to simply minimal patching. We went with the middle road of doing a liquid TPO, which they got done in record time, and hauled off all their materials. No leaks on that project since, and we had them back out for another roof that started leaking after that terrible 2022 north Texas rainstorm. Same story, record time for the bid, and they got it done with no hassle on our end. Highly recommended! John Lee Harrison- The Armstrong Foundation”
“Pillar Roofing roofing has responded quickly to our requests and we have I have to admit that they've done an excellent job given very tight time constraints we recommend pillar roofing for any of your needs commercial or residential.”
Your Pillar Roofing Coordinator conducts a complete roof-system inspection and prepares a clear report for owners, property managers, and facility teams. Whether you are responding to leaks, storm damage, aging materials, tenant complaints, or planning future work, we inspect the roof, document visible conditions, and explain priorities in practical terms.
The objective is not simply to locate one leak. It is to understand how the membrane, flashings, drainage, penetrations, perimeter, previous repairs, and rooftop traffic are affecting the performance of the complete roofing system.
Commercial roofs can be affected by punctures, open seams, failed flashing, ponding water, poor drainage, membrane shrinkage, storm damage, and neglected maintenance. Finding these conditions early can reduce interior damage, business interruption, and premature roof replacement.

The exact scope depends on the roof type, age, layout, and current condition. Our inspections commonly include:
Roof membrane or covering condition
Seams, laps, fasteners, and attachment points
Flashing around walls, curbs, skylights, HVAC equipment, and penetrations
Drains, scuppers, gutters, downspouts, and visible water-flow concerns
Ponding water, low areas, and slope conditions
Evidence of leaks, moisture entry, and interior water staining
Punctures, blisters, cracks, splits, and surface wear
Hail, wind, and debris-related damage
Parapet walls, coping, perimeter metal, and roof transitions
Previous repairs, workmanship concerns, and aging materials
Rooftop traffic areas and service paths
We inspect single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, metal roofing, and other low-slope systems. Because each system ages and fails differently, we tailor the inspection to your building's roofing assembly.

After the inspection, we prepare a professional report outlining the roof’s current condition, visible damage, areas of concern, and recommended next steps. Reports may include condition summaries, photographs of problem areas, maintenance priorities, and practical repair or replacement recommendations.
This documentation can support budgeting, capital planning, ownership review, insurance discussions, property-management files, and future maintenance. If the roof is performing properly, we will say so. If work is needed, we identify priorities and explain why they matter.

Consider scheduling an inspection when:
Your building has experienced hail, high winds, or severe weather
You notice interior water stains or recurring leaks
The roof is aging and you want to track its condition
You are buying, selling, or assuming management of a property
You need documentation for budgeting or maintenance planning
You want to evaluate previous repairs or workmanship
The facility has not received a recent professional roof assessment
Routine inspections can identify failed flashing, blocked drainage, membrane damage, and other manageable conditions before they contribute to damaged insulation, interior losses, or business interruption.

Pillar Roofing is a family-owned, RCAT-licensed roofing contractor based in Richardson, Texas. Our Coordinator does more than identify problems. We review the findings with you, answer questions, and organize recommendations according to urgency, roof condition, building operations, and long-term goals. This gives decision-makers a clearer basis for planning repairs, maintenance, or eventual replacement.
If repairs are needed, we can prepare an estimate and explain the proposed work. When ongoing care is appropriate, we can also discuss maintenance options designed to reduce recurring problems and extend the roof’s useful service life.

Advanced Technology
Drone Roof Inspections — Comprehensive Aerial Visibility
When roof access is difficult, steep, unsafe, or disruptive to building operations, aerial inspection technology can provide a broader view of the roofing system. High-resolution imagery can help document membrane conditions, drainage patterns, storm effects, rooftop equipment, perimeter areas, and other concerns that may not be visible from the ground.
Drone imagery does not replace hands-on inspection when safe access is available. It supplements the inspection and strengthens the photographic record used for maintenance planning and decision-making.
A documented roof inspection can:
Identify concerns before they become expensive failures
Support maintenance budgets and capital planning
Provide organized records for owners and property managers
Reduce the risk of unexpected leaks and business interruption
Help protect insulation, interiors, inventory, and rooftop equipment
Improve repair-versus-replacement decisions
Establish a condition record for future comparison
