Protecting your investment in a commercial building by performing routine maintenance and having preventative inspections is important. These actions extend the life of your roof, help you get the most out of your investment, and protects your commercial building.

Preventative Inspections

Inspections are an important aspect of extending the life of your roof. They should be performed yearly and after any major weather event to ensure that any hidden damage is noticed and fixed in the shortest amount of time possible. Catching any issues early is essential to avoid further damage that could be costlier and helps extend the life of your roof by ensuring it’s kept in optimal condition.

General Maintenance

Routine maintenance is an essential part of extending the life of your roof. Cleaning your roof and preventing build up of debris prevents damage to the roofing membrane and flashing. Trimming large tree branches around your roof also ensures that they do not fall on the roof and cause major damage during severe weather events. Overall, routine maintenance of the roof and the environment around it extends the life of commercial roofs and allows it to stay in working condition for years to come.

Making Repairs

Owning a commercial building is an investment, which is why you should never wait to make repairs. Ignoring things like leaks and damage to flashing can be costly and cause further damage. When you notice a leak, it’s important to get it inspected right away. A leak could be a simple fix, but it could also be a major problem, so it’s best to let professionals handle the job.

Roof Recover Systems

Roof recover systems are another way to extend the life of your current roof. These systems are installed over your existing roof and are often cheaper than completely replacing a roof. Additionally, they can last up to 20 years in some cases, adding extra time to your roof. Since roof recover systems are installed over the current roof, they add a layer of protection against damage.

If proper maintenance and repairs are performed, roofs on commercial buildings can last for years and if needed, they can usually be recovered without having to install an entirely new roof.
