Commercial Roof Inspection and Maintenance in Concord, CA
Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County, and its flat commercial roofs cover office towers near the BART stations, light industrial parks in the north and retail along Willow Pass Road.
What kinds of commercial buildings are in Concord?
Concord's commercial roofs fall into 3 main groups: mid-rise and low-rise office buildings near downtown and the BART stations, light industrial and service buildings in the north end, and retail centers along Willow Pass Road and Monument Boulevard.
Several large banks and insurers built back office campuses in Concord in the 1980s and 1990s, and many of those roofs are now on their second membrane. The former naval weapons station land on the north side is being planned for new development.

What does the Concord climate do to a flat roof?
Concord exposes a flat roof to about 17 inches of rain a year and summer days above 90 degrees, which makes it one of the hotter cities on our Northern California list.
Heat dries out sealants, opens lap seams and ages dark built-up roofs faster than near the water. Winter storms then find every weak flashing that the summer opened up.
How often should commercial roofs in Concord be inspected?
A Concord commercial roof should be inspected 2 times a year, once in late spring and once in fall after the summer heat.
The fall visit catches heat damage before the first storm, which is when most Concord roof leaks begin. Our commercial roof inspection page explains what each visit covers.
