Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A commercial roof inspection in Garrett is more than a quick look from the parking lot. Our crew gets on the roof and checks membrane field condition, seam integrity, flashings at parapets and curbs, terminations, drains and scuppers, and every penetration around HVAC units, exhaust fans, and vents. We look for hail bruising, wind damage at edges, ponding areas, blistering, and the age related wear that shows up on older TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built up systems. Every finding gets documented with photos so you have a real record of your Garrett commercial roof, not a verbal summary. Catching small problems in Garrett early keeps them from turning into expensive tear offs and interior damage later.

HVAC trades, sign installers, and satellite techs walk more Garrett commercial roofs than roofers do. Every visit risks a dropped screw, an unsealed penetration, or a gouged membrane nobody reports. Six months later the leak shows up two columns away from the puncture, because water travels on the deck before it drops, and the repair bill lands on the roof budget instead of the trade that caused it.
Occupied building work is a specialty at Garrett Commercial Roofing, not an inconvenience. Medical suites, food service, and retail floors across Garrett stay operational while the roof above them gets replaced, with odor control, after hours sequencing, and coordination the tenants can plan around. A DeKalb County reroof should be a calendar entry for the business below, not a crisis.

Garrett Commercial Roofing onboards multi building owners with a survey sweep: every roof documented, prioritized, and placed on a maintenance calendar, with one point of contact for all of it. Call (317) 342-7736. Garrett managers who run roofs from records instead of memory stop getting surprised, which is the entire product.

Garrett Commercial Roofing serves Garrett, DeKalb County, and the surrounding communities of Auburn, Kendallville, LaOtto, and Fort Wayne with commercial roofing work built for real conditions on real buildings. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, who has been featured on FOX59, WISH TV, and RTV6, the company has spent years working on low slope membrane roofs, metal systems, and older built up assemblies across central Indiana. Our crews are licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059. We know the Garrett commercial building stock, from Randolph Street masonry storefronts to the newer distribution footprints, and we scope each job based on what the roof actually needs.
The way we work in Garrett is straightforward. A crew lead walks the roof, checks membrane seams, flashings, penetrations, and drainage, then documents everything with photos before anyone writes a number down. You get an honest written estimate with a clear scope, no vague line items, and a plain explanation of what we found and why the repair or replacement is scoped the way it is. On the work itself, we protect the property, keep the site clean, and finish with a walkthrough so you can see what was done. No invented certifications, no sales pressure, just commercial roofing done properly.
Our Promise
For Garrett property managers, we keep it simple. Every job starts with a free on site inspection of your commercial roof, with photos and notes, before we quote a dollar. You get an honest written estimate that spells out the scope, materials, and pricing so there are transparent line items after the crew shows up. And the workmanship is backed by a written workmanship warranty in addition to the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to the membrane or metal system installed.
What Makes a Garrett Commercial Roofing Roof Different
Serving Garrett and DeKalb County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Storm And Hail Response
Northeast Indiana sits in a corridor prone to large hail and straight line winds from spring through early fall. When a cell moves through Garrett, we prioritize storm calls, get on the roof, and document hail bruising, seam lifting, and flashing damage while the evidence is fresh. That protects both the building and any insurance claim you file.
Built For Garrett Buildings
The commercial roof inventory in Garrett runs a wide age range, from mid century downtown storefront roofs to newer single ply installs on distribution buildings. We've worked on all of it, so we scope repairs and replacements against what the specific system actually needs rather than a one size template.
Full-Scope Commercial Roofing
From the first inspection through the final walkthrough, one company handles it. Inspections, repairs, emergency response, full replacements, and metal roofing installs are all in house services. You get consistent documentation, one point of contact, and a scope that doesn't get handed off midway through.
Insurance Documentation Done Right
When storm damage hits a Garrett commercial roof, the claim lives or dies on the documentation. We photograph damage in detail, tie it to the storm date, and provide a written scope your carrier and adjuster can actually work from. That gives your claim a real chance instead of a rejection.
Real Jobs. Real Results.
Photos from recent commercial roofing projects completed by our manufacturer-certified crew across Garrett and DeKalb County. Every project is documented with photos and a written closeout package.
Before, During, and After a Garrett Reroof
Every job in Garrett starts with a walkthrough of the actual roof. A crew lead climbs it, inspects membrane seams, flashings, penetrations, drains, and the field of the roof, and takes photos of anything that matters. If there's storm or age damage, we mark where it is, what type it is, and how far it's spread. Before we quote anything, you get a clear picture of the roof's real condition and a scope built from what's on the roof, not what we assume is up there. That step alone saves Garrett property managers from paying for work they don't need.
Once the inspection is done, you get an honest written estimate. The scope, materials, and pricing are laid out in plain language so a Garrett property manager can read it without decoding contractor shorthand. If there's a storm claim involved, we hand over the photo documentation and the written scope so you can submit it to your insurance carrier. We'll coordinate with your adjuster on site during their inspection when that helps, and we'll answer questions in writing. works with your insurance carrier and we do not name drop carriers or make promises about coverage outcomes.
When the scope is approved, we schedule the work around your operations in Garrett. The crew shows up with the materials on the estimate, protects landscaping, dock areas, and rooftop equipment, and keeps the site organized as work progresses. Tear off debris goes into a contained area and gets hauled off, not left for someone else to deal with. At the end of the job, we walk the roof with you, show what was installed, review the flashings and terminations, and clean the site before we leave. You get final photos and warranty paperwork for your records.

What we see most often on Garrett commercial roofs
Garrett property managers typically call us about these scenarios.
Rooftop Equipment the Roof Gets Blamed For
Condensate lines, drain pans, unit panel joints, and duct connections all sit above an occupied ceiling, and any one of them can drip on a tenant without the membrane being involved. Water runs along the deck flutes and appears somewhere else entirely. Garrett Commercial Roofing traces it to the source and puts the finding in writing, even when the finding is that your mechanical contractor owes you a visit.
Fasteners Backing Out Under the Membrane
Look across a mechanically attached roof in low sun and the fastener rows show themselves. Where a plate has worked loose from years of expansion and contraction, the screw head stands proud and abrades the membrane from underneath until it wears through.
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. Garrett 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.
Curbs and Pitch Pockets Going Soft
Membrane runs up the side of an equipment curb and has to terminate high enough that blowing rain and snow cannot get over the top, and plenty of units sit on curbs built too low or on sleepers with no curb at all. Pitch pockets fail a different way: the filler shrinks and dishes below the rim until the pocket holds water instead of shedding it.
Ponding Water and Drainage Failure
Water still standing 48 hours after rain accelerates membrane aging, voids portions of some warranties, and finds every seam defect on a Garrett low slope roof. Clogged drains and crushed insulation are the usual causes. Garrett Commercial Roofing clears the drainage path, corrects slope with tapered insulation where needed, and documents conditions for the warranty file.

What Garrett Property Managers Ask Most
Straight answers to the questions Garrett property managers ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Commercial Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Garrett 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
DeKalb County has taken direct hits from severe cells, including golf ball sized hail near Garrett in May 2018. Hail bruises single ply membranes and fractures modified bitumen surfaces in ways that don't leak right away but fail months later. When we're called in, we map bruise patterns, document them for the claim, and repair or replace affected sections.
Wind Lifting Seams And Edges
Straight line winds across the flat DeKalb County terrain hit Garrett commercial roofs with almost no break. That force finds membrane edges, perimeter terminations, and seams first, peeling TPO and EPDM back one bond at a time. We reseal, re terminate, or replace affected areas and check every edge metal condition while we're up there.
Ponding After Heavy Rain
Older built up and modified bitumen roofs on Garrett industrial and downtown buildings often lack the drainage slope newer designs get. Water pools, sits, and degrades the membrane, then finds a seam or penetration to enter. We identify ponding zones, clear or add drainage where possible, and reinforce the affected membrane.
Aging Flashings And Penetrations
Large footprint buildings carry dozens of HVAC curbs, exhaust stacks, and vents, each one a potential leak point as sealants and flashings age. Sun and thermal cycling in northeast Indiana crack pitch pans and dry out mastic within a few years. We inspect every penetration and reseal, reflash, or rebuild as needed.
Choosing the Right Commercial Roof System in Garrett
An honest breakdown of the three low slope systems we install most frequently.
TPO single ply membrane is the most common choice on newer Garrett commercial roofs, especially on the distribution and manufacturing facilities along SR 8. Owners pick it because it's cost effective per square foot, reflects heat to reduce cooling load, and installs cleanly over metal decking on large footprints. Seams are heat welded rather than glued, which holds up better against wind uplift when the install is done right. Service life typically runs 15 to 25 years depending on thickness, foot traffic, and how well penetrations are maintained.
For Garrett buildings that have already taken hail damage or sit exposed with no windbreak, a thicker 60 or 80 mil membrane or a reinforced modified bitumen cap sheet is worth the upcharge. The heavier material resists hail bruising and puncture better than standard 45 mil, and it holds up longer to foot traffic around rooftop equipment. On buildings where insurance premiums or deductibles reflect hail risk, the durability upgrade often pays back over the roof's life. We'll walk through the tradeoff during the estimate.
Standing seam metal is the long life option for Garrett commercial buildings, particularly on lower slope to pitched hybrid designs and additions on light industrial properties. Service life runs 40 years or more with proper detailing, and the panels shed water and snow well without seam maintenance the way membranes require. The tradeoff is upfront cost, which runs meaningfully higher than TPO or EPDM per square foot, and the need for precise flashing work at penetrations. For long hold owners it often pencils out.
