The answer to this question is always yes. Roof leaks are one of the most disruptive issues businesses experience. And, they are almost always preventable. Commercial roof maintenance should be a line item in your annual budget and something you work with your trusted commercial roofer to determine every few years. If you only reactively repair your roof, you’re spending more than you need to.
Commercial Roof Maintenance Essentials
There are some parts of your roof maintenance you can do yourself. They include cleaning debris from the roof’s surface and making sure that drains are clear on a regular basis. However, it’s best to contact a commercial roofing company for most of your roof’s maintenance needs. Most commercial roofing companies offer both one-time maintenance as well as annual maintenance contracts.
During the maintenance inspection, your roofer will check the roof’s condition. Depending on the contract, they may provide minor repair, cleaning and resealing or other services. If they find roof damage, they’ll provide an estimate for repair.
Won’t a Maintenance Contract Cost Me Money?
Yes. There is a fee associated with commercial roof maintenance, whether you have a contract or not. However, this is one fee that pays for itself. According to Roofing Contractor Magazine, proactive roof maintenance can significantly increase the life of your roof. In some cases, nearly doubling it. This is because a small roof leak can easily be repaired before it does significant damage to the roofing structure. So not only does the roof last longer, but the repair itself costs less.
