Schedule Your Free Roof Inspection
A commercial roof inspection in Hobart starts on the deck and works outward. Our crew walks the field membrane looking for punctures, blisters, and hail bruising, then checks every seam, lap, and T-joint for separation or fishmouthing. We inspect perimeter flashings, coping, counterflashing at parapet walls, pitch pans, drains, scuppers, and every penetration for HVAC, exhaust, and conduit, because those details are usually where a Hobart commercial roof starts leaking first. Everything gets photographed with location notes so you have a real record of condition. A thorough inspection catches the small stuff, a lifted edge, a split lap, an aging pitch pocket, before it turns into interior damage and a much larger repair bill on your Hobart building.
I agree to be contacted by Hobart Commercial Roofing regarding my inquiry.
Parapets take the worst of what IN weather does to Hobart buildings: wind on both faces, freeze thaw in every joint, and coping that moves with the temperature swing. When parapet details fail, water enters the wall, not the roof, and shows up rooms away from the source. Half of the mystery leaks in Lake County buildings end at the parapet, eventually.
Metal roofed commercial buildings across Lake County get their own service line at Hobart Commercial Roofing: fastener replacement on aging screw down systems, seam service on standing seam, rust treatment, and recoats that extend service life. Hobart shops and warehouses with metal overhead need a contractor who treats it as its own trade, because it is.
Deferred maintenance catching up with the budget? Hobart Commercial Roofing triages Hobart roofs honestly: what is urgent, what can wait a season, and what waiting will cost in writing. Call (317) 342-7736 for the prioritized list instead of the all or nothing proposal. Lake County budgets recover from honest sequencing. They rarely recover from surprise.

Local Expertise, Real Results
A commercial roof is a budget item long before it is an emergency, and we scope it that way.
TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, or metal: Hobart Commercial Roofing matches the system to the building and the budget, not to what happens to be on the truck. Every Hobart recommendation comes with the numbers and photos behind it.
Hobart Commercial Roofing serves Hobart and the wider Lake County commercial market, including Merrillville, Portage, Crown Point, Griffith, Valparaiso, and Gary. Founded in 2018 by Aaron Christy, we have spent years focused on commercial roofing across central Indiana, working on the low slope membrane systems that dominate Hobart's retail corridors and light industrial buildings. Our crews are licensed and insured under Indiana license RC21100059, and they know the specific quirks of the aging flat and low slope stock that runs through Lake County. When you call Hobart Commercial Roofing, you get people who have walked roofs like yours in Hobart before.
The way we work in Hobart is simple and pretty old fashioned. A crew lead climbs the roof, walks the field, checks seams, flashings, drains, curbs, and rooftop equipment penetrations, and photographs everything worth noting. You get an honest written estimate with a clear scope, not a vague one liner, so you can compare bids on the same terms and take real numbers to ownership. On the work itself, we protect the property below, keep the site clean, and hit the details that matter on commercial roofing: proper terminations, tight flashings, correct fastening patterns, and drainage that actually drains.
Our Promise
We make three straightforward commitments to Hobart property managers. First, a free on site inspection of your commercial roof before we ever quote work, so no one is guessing. Second, an honest written estimate with line items you can read, no vague allowances, no surprise add ons once the crew is on site. Third, clean workmanship backed by a written workmanship warranty on top of the standard manufacturer coverage that applies to the materials we install. That is what you get from Hobart Commercial Roofing, in plain terms.
Where Hobart Commercial Roofing Is Different in Hobart
Serving Hobart and Lake County with quality materials, thorough inspections, and transparent pricing.
Storm And Hail Response
After a hail event or a high wind storm, we prioritize commercial properties with active damage. The crew documents impact marks on the membrane, displaced flashings, and dented rooftop equipment, then temporary secures anything at risk of further failure. You get photos and a written scope you can hand to your insurance carrier.
Hobart Commercial Experience
We have worked the low slope membrane systems that fill Hobart's retail strips and industrial parks, from single tenant service buildings to larger distribution facilities. That means we know how these roofs were built, where they typically fail, and how to price a repair or replacement realistically for Hobart property managers rather than guessing.
Full-Scope Commercial Roofing
From the first inspection through completed work, one team handles the job. Inspections, repairs, emergency response, full replacements, and metal roof installs all go through the same crew leads. You are not chasing crew or getting handed off, and the scope on your Hobart commercial roof stays consistent from estimate to final walkthrough.
Insurance Documentation Done Right
Storm claims live or die on documentation. We photograph damage from the field, from directional angles, and up close at flashings and equipment, then package it with a written scope tied to the observed conditions. Your adjuster gets what they need to evaluate the claim on your Hobart property without back and forth.
Real Jobs. Real Results.

How Hobart Commercial Roofing Runs a Hobart Roof Project
It starts with a real inspection. A crew lead comes out to your Hobart commercial property, walks the roof, and looks at the field membrane, seams, flashings, drains, penetrations, and rooftop equipment curbs. Any storm damage, age related wear, or previously repaired areas get photographed with notes on location and severity. Before we quote a single line, you get a clear picture of what your commercial roof actually looks like, so the scope of work is grounded in observed conditions and not a rough guess from the parking lot.
Next comes the written estimate. You get an itemized document that ties the scope back to what the crew saw on the roof, with materials, labor, and quantities laid out so nothing is buried. If the damage on your Hobart commercial roof is storm related and you are filing a claim, we provide the photo documentation and scope in a format your insurance carrier and adjuster can work with. works with your insurance carrier, and we do not talk in vague allowances. You keep control of the conversation and the numbers.
Once the scope is approved, we schedule the work around your operations and your tenants. The crew stages materials to keep entrances, parking, and loading areas clear, protects the walls and grounds below the work area, and handles the commercial roofing tasks in a sequence that limits exposure if weather moves in. When the roof is finished, we walk it with you or your representative, review the completed work against the scope, pick up debris and stray fasteners, and leave the Hobart property clean.
Free Inspection With Photos
An on site inspection of your commercial roof at no cost. The crew documents membrane condition, seams, flashings, and problem areas with photos, then walks you through what they found. You get a real assessment, not a sales pitch.
Honest Written Estimate
You get an itemized written estimate that ties directly to what we saw on the roof. Materials, quantities, and labor are laid out clearly so you can compare bids on the same terms and present real numbers internally without ambiguity.
Insurance Documentation
For storm related damage on your Hobart commercial roof, we provide the photos and written scope you need for a claim. We work with your insurance carrier and adjuster on the documentation side. Billing stays between you and your carrier, always.
Clean Work, Final Walkthrough
The crew protects the property during the work and cleans up daily. When the roof is complete, we walk it with you, review the finished scope, and address any punch items before we leave. The site should look better than we found it.
What we see most often on Hobart commercial roofs
Hobart property managers typically call us about these scenarios.
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 Hobart low slope roof. Clogged drains and crushed insulation are the usual causes. Hobart Commercial Roofing clears the drainage path, corrects slope with tapered insulation where needed, and documents conditions for the warranty file.
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.
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 Hobart Commercial Roofing where to look, and a core cut tells you whether it is wet.
Seams Letting Go on a Taped EPDM Roof
EPDM is a thermoset rubber, so its laps are taped or adhered rather than heat welded the way TPO and PVC are. The adhesive is what ages, and it usually gives up first at T joints where three plies stack on top of each other. A lap rebuilt while it is still just a lap is a maintenance line item. The same lap found two years later is an insulation replacement.
Aging Membrane at End of Service Life
TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen all reach a point where the sheet has given up what kept it flexible, and how soon depends on the system, the exposure, and the maintenance history. The expensive version of this in Hobart is forced replacement after interior damage instead of planned replacement on a budget cycle. Hobart Commercial Roofing gives building owners a documented condition baseline and a realistic runway to plan against.
Low Spots That Never Fully Drain
Ponding is the industry term for water still up there 48 hours after the rain stops. Standing water adds load, the deck deflects a little more under it, and in winter the ice shifts with every temperature swing and scrubs the membrane. Low slope roofs are designed for a quarter inch per foot minimum, and where that never got built, Hobart Commercial Roofing adds tapered insulation and crickets.

Before You Call Us in Hobart
Straight answers to the questions Hobart property managers ask most.
Indiana Weather Affects Commercial Roofs Year Round
Indiana sees some of the most varied weather in the country. Hobart 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
With 51 hail reports logged within 10 miles of Hobart and stones up to 1.75 inches recorded, membrane bruising is a real issue on flat commercial roofs. Hail crushes the mat under the surface, weakens the membrane, and shortens service life even when there is no immediate leak. We map bruise patterns during inspection and document them for insurance.
Wind Lifting At Seams
The April 2023 EF-1 tornado and the June 2026 storm system both hit Hobart with wind loads that peel low slope membrane at edges and open seams. Once a lap starts lifting, water gets underneath and travels. When we are called out after wind events, we secure lifted areas first, then price the permanent repair.
Ponding After Heavy Rain
Hobart's flat terrain and aging low slope stock create ponding problems, especially on roofs where drains are undersized or tapered insulation has compressed. Standing water accelerates membrane breakdown and stresses seams. We check drainage during inspection, note ponding areas, and address drain and slope issues as part of the scope when it makes sense.
Aging Flashings And Laps
A lot of commercial buildings along US 30 and Route 6 carry roofs installed decades ago, and it shows at the details. Flashings crack, pitch pans dry out, and seam adhesives fail long before the field membrane gives up. We inspect these transition points closely because they are usually where the next leak is coming from.
Choosing the Right Commercial Roof System in Hobart
An honest breakdown of the three low slope systems we install most frequently.
Modified bitumen and built up asphalt systems are still common across Hobart's commercial stock, especially on older downtown buildings and mid century strip retail. Property managers choose them because they are proven, relatively affordable, and hold up well to foot traffic from HVAC service crews. On low slope roofs with a lot of rooftop equipment, an asphalt based system is often the practical choice, particularly when tying into existing base flashings and edge details on a Hobart commercial roof.
For Hobart properties in the documented hail corridor, upgraded single ply membranes such as thicker TPO or PVC give you better puncture and impact performance than the older systems they typically replace. The upfront cost is higher, but the tradeoff is meaningful on buildings that carry a lot of rooftop equipment or sit exposed to open weather. If your commercial roof has taken repeat hail hits, a more impact resistant assembly is often worth pricing during the next replacement cycle.
Standing seam metal is the long life option for certain Hobart commercial applications, especially light industrial and warehouse buildings where roof pitch and layout support it. The upfront cost sits above membrane systems, and detailing at penetrations and transitions takes more care, but the service life and wind performance are strong. For property owners planning to hold a Hobart asset for the long term, metal can pencil out well against repeated membrane replacements.
