The commercial package
7-Day Commercial Roof Confidence Audit
Leaks, downtime and surprise capital expenses cost far more than planned maintenance. A full commercial roof inspection, on every building you are responsible for, turned into a practical plan inside seven business days.
- Flat and metal roof inspection: drains, seams, penetrations, edges
- Condition and risk report marking each area Safe, Monitor or Action Needed
- Digital roof asset file for each property you manage
The 7-Day Guarantee
If we miss the seven-business-day report window, we credit $500 toward repairs.
Recent commercial work

What the audit produces
A three-stage plan, not a quote
The deliverable is a plan your board or owner can actually budget against, not a single number with pressure attached.
Stage 1 · Now
Emergency fixes
Anything actively leaking or about to. Scoped, priced and scheduled first so the damage stops compounding.
Stage 2 · 12-24 months
Planned maintenance
Seams, drains, penetrations and coatings on a schedule, the cheap work that prevents the expensive work.
Stage 3 · 3-5 years
Capital planning
When each roof section will realistically need replacement, and roughly what to reserve for it. No surprises at budget time.
What goes on the building
Low-slope systems, and the licence to install them
Flat is not one product. Which membrane belongs on your building depends on what is up there now, how much traffic it takes and what you need it to survive.
Mule-Hide low-slope systems
We install Mule-Hide low-slope systems: single-ply membrane, modified bitumen and coatings. Who installs a flat roof matters in a way it does not on a house, because manufacturer roof system warranties on commercial work are only available through contractors the manufacturer has registered for them.
TPO and single-ply membrane
The default on most modern low-slope commercial roofs. Heat-welded seams, a white surface that keeps the building cooler through a Panhandle August, and a straightforward repair path when something does go wrong. The Eastern Wyoming College campus roof on this page is a membrane system.
EPDM and modified bitumen
Rubber and torch-applied systems still make sense on plenty of older buildings, particularly where you are tying into what is already there rather than starting clean. Often the cheaper honest answer when a full tear-off is not warranted yet.
Coatings and leak repair
A coating can buy a sound roof several more years for a fraction of a replacement, and it is the right call more often than a contractor with a replacement quota will admit. Commercial roof leak repair is its own job: find it, document it, fix it, and tell you honestly whether the roof around it has time left.
Metal and standing seam
Shops, ag buildings and anything with a pitch. Panel replacement, fastener and seam work, and fabrication in-house, which is how Bill Casey ended up with the parapet cap he mentions in his review further up this page.
Built for the people responsible
What property managers actually care about
Uptime
Work staged around your tenants and your hours. The building stays open, access stays clear, and disruption is planned instead of discovered.
Safety & liability
Licensed, insured, and documented. Every crew member on your roof is covered, and the paperwork that proves it is yours on request.
Reporting you can forward
Photo-documented condition reports written for owners and boards, clear enough to forward without a covering explanation.
Property manager questions
What owners and managers ask first
What does the 7-Day Commercial Roof Confidence Audit include?
An inspection of every flat or metal roof on the property, drains, seams, penetrations and edges included, a condition report marking each area Safe, Monitor or Action Needed, and a digital roof asset file you keep. The report reaches you within seven business days of the visit.
What happens if the report is late?
If we miss the seven-business-day window, we credit $500 toward repairs. That is the 7-Day Guarantee. A report that arrives after your budget meeting isn't worth much, so we put money behind the date.
Can you work on an occupied building?
Yes. Work is staged around your tenants and your hours, access stays clear, and disruption is planned in advance instead of discovered on the day. Gateway Realty in Gering was torn off at 9 in the morning and finished by 4 that afternoon, in January, with tenants under the roof the whole time.
What kinds of commercial roofs do you handle?
Flat membrane and metal, on offices, ag facilities, churches, new builds and managed rental property. Recent examples: the campus flat membrane at Eastern Wyoming College, a one-day replacement for Gateway Realty, and exterior restoration at Christ The King Catholic Church in Gering.
Can you cover a whole portfolio, not just one building?
Yes. Each property gets its own digital roof asset file, and the plan comes in three stages: emergency fixes now, planned maintenance over 12 to 24 months, capital replacement in 3 to 5 years. It's written so a board or an owner can budget against it directly.
What does a commercial roof inspection involve?
Drains, seams, penetrations, edges and flashings across every roof section, photographed as we go, plus the interior side of any leak you already know about. It comes back as a condition report marking each area Safe, Monitor or Action Needed, with a three-stage plan attached.
What low-slope systems do you install?
Mule-Hide single-ply membrane including TPO and EPDM, modified bitumen, and acrylic and silicone coatings. Which one belongs on your building depends on what is up there now, how much foot traffic it takes and how long you need it to last, and that is what the audit answers before anyone quotes you.
Can you repair a leak without replacing the whole roof?
Usually, and that is normally where we start. A leak gets located, documented and repaired, and then the report tells you plainly how much life the roof around it has left. Replacing a roof that needed a repair is exactly what the audit exists to prevent.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial work?
Yes. Schank Roofing is a licensed and insured Nebraska contractor, registration number 30526-25. Ask us for the certificates of insurance and we will send them over.
Do you take commercial work in eastern Wyoming?
Yes. The family has roofed western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming for more than forty years. The most recent Wyoming job is the campus flat membrane at Eastern Wyoming College in Torrington, finished in June 2026.
