Commercial Roof Maintenance What is more appealing— replacing your commercial roof every 10-15 years or having your existing roof stay intact for more than 25 years? With a good commercial roof maintenance program in place, you don’t have to settle for ongoing, costly roof problems or premature roof replacement. Routine inspection and maintenance performed by a capable professional will help keep those heavy expense burdens at bay, ensure your roof warranty is valid, and increase your roof’s odds of lasting for its life expectancy.
Why Is Roof Maintenance Important? At some point, all roofing systems have problems. Leaks, cracks, blisters, surface erosion, weathering– those are just a few of the many problems a roof may encounter. Even the smallest leak can have a huge impact. If it’s left untended, it could lead to a host of major problems and some expensive roof work. Doesn’t it make sense to stave off those problems, save money, and delay the need for roof replacement for years? Well, that’s what roof maintenance does. It identifies roof damage in its early stages, and it documents the early signs of possible big roofing problems before they pop up. To put it into laymen’s terms, it’s a mix of light roof doctoring and preventative diagnostics. For the building owner, the advantages and benefits couldn’t be any clearer. To put it in simple terms, a good roof maintenance program can translate into thousands of dollars in savings.
You Need Capable Commercial Roofing Professionals There’s another thing that’s just as important as the need for roof maintenance. The people who handle the maintenance program need to be capable roofing professionals with strong expertise and solid training credentials. After all, letting the wrong person on a roof can invite in disaster or, worse, a complete roof failure. Choice Roof Contractors take your roofing needs very seriously.

When is Choice Roof Contractor Group’s Maintenance Program Available? One of our quality-minded professionals will be available to inspect and perform light maintenance on your roof on an annual, if not semi-annual basis. Roof inspection and maintenance sessions are best done in the spring and fall. Many building owners schedule their springtime session sometime between April 1-June 30 and/or the fall session sometime between October 1 and December 30. For wintertime sessions, it is recommended an inspection and maintenance service be done right before the next rainy season. Another thing to keep in mind is location. Some areas of the country have high ultraviolet ray exposure, coastal climates, or places subject to high-speed winds. In those areas, semi-annual sessions are a recipe for best roof damage control and containment results.
