Commercial Roof Warranty & Insurance Claims Assistance

Protecting Your Investment With Expert Guidance in the Twin Cities

A commercial flat roof is a significant investment. Understanding your roof warranty and knowing how to navigate insurance claims after storm damage are critical steps in protecting that investment. Many business owners are unsure what is covered, how long coverage lasts, or what to do after hail or wind damage occurs.

At Englund Roofing we help commercial property owners throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities area understand their commercial roof warranty coverage and confidently manage the insurance claims process when needed.

Understanding Commercial Roof Warranties

Commercial roofing systems such as TPO, PVC, and EPDM typically include two types of warranties:

Manufacturer Material Warranty

This warranty covers defects in the roofing membrane itself. Coverage length varies, often ranging from 10 to 30 years depending on the system and manufacturer specifications. It generally protects against premature material failure but does not cover installation errors or external damage.

Workmanship Warranty

This warranty is provided by the roofing contractor and covers installation quality. If a leak results from improper installation, the workmanship warranty addresses the repair.

It is important to review both warranties carefully. Many manufacturer warranties require routine maintenance and documented inspections to remain valid. Skipping scheduled maintenance can jeopardize coverage.

Englund Roofing works with building owners to explain warranty terms clearly and ensure roofing systems are installed and maintained according to manufacturer guidelines.

What Is Typically Not Covered

While warranties offer valuable protection, they usually do not cover:

• Damage from severe weather events such as hail or windstorms
• Punctures from foot traffic or dropped tools
• Structural movement of the building
• Lack of proper maintenance

This is where commercial property insurance plays a crucial role.

Commercial Roof Insurance Claims After Storm Damage

Minnesota weather can be unpredictable. Hailstorms, heavy winds, and large snow loads can cause sudden damage to commercial flat roofing systems. When storm damage occurs, acting quickly and documenting the condition of the roof is essential.

Step 1: Professional Roof Inspection

Before filing a claim, it is wise to have a professional commercial roofing contractor inspect the property. Englund Roofing provides detailed roof inspections to assess visible and hidden damage. We document membrane punctures, seam separation, flashing damage, and drainage issues.

Step 2: Damage Documentation

Clear documentation strengthens your insurance claim. We provide photographs, written assessments, and repair recommendations that support the claims process.

Step 3: Insurance Adjuster Coordination

Insurance adjusters evaluate the damage and determine coverage eligibility. Having an experienced commercial roofing contractor present during the inspection can help ensure all damage is properly identified and discussed.

Step 4: Professional Repair or Replacement

Once the claim is approved, repairs or full roof replacement can begin according to the agreed scope of work.

Why Professional Guidance Matters

Navigating a commercial roofing insurance claim can be complex. Incomplete documentation or missed damage can result in denied or reduced coverage. Working with an experienced commercial flat roofing contractor helps ensure that your property receives the attention it deserves.

Englund Roofing understands the specific challenges faced by Twin Cities property owners. From hail impact on TPO membranes to flashing damage caused by wind uplift, we know what to look for and how to present findings clearly.

Maintain Warranty Compliance With Preventative Care

Routine maintenance plays an important role in both warranty protection and insurance readiness. Scheduled inspections, seam checks, and drainage cleaning help extend the life of your commercial roof while providing documentation that demonstrates responsible ownership.

A well-maintained roof is more likely to withstand storms and less likely to face disputes during an insurance review.
