CARING FOR ROOFS ON INSTITUTIONAL & CHURCH BUILDINGS

What You Should Know about Roofs & Warranties A roof is the most overlooked and neglected part of a building. It can also be the most costly when problems develop.

Many roof warranties require you to have at least semi-annual maintenance inspections along with documentation. No documentation and your warranty will no longer be valid. Do you know the condition of your roof? How much are you spending on repairs? How long will your roof last in its current condition? Wind, Rain, Hail and Ultraviolet Rays can deteriorate a roof and leave your facility vulnerable to the elements. Roof replacements can cost anywhere from five dollars to over ten dollars per square foot. Regular inspection and maintenance can prevent a small problem from becoming a big one.

Liabilities from Falling Snow and Ice Did you know that millions of dollars in damages are caused by Snow and Ice falling from institutional roofs every year?

According to The National Water Service, winter weather damage causes $3 billion to $6 billion in damages each year depending on the severity of the season. A cubic foot of snow can weigh anywhere from 7 pounds (dry) to 30 lbs (compact); rain and snow drifts can add even more weight creating potentially dangerous and costly situations.

Countless lawsuits are filed by claimants across Canada and the USA, and millions are awarded in property and personal damages. Building owners can be held liable for any property damage and personal injury resulting from excessive snow if it could have been prevented by proper maintenance. Gladly most of these accidents can be prevented with as simple a remedy as installing a snow fence.

Where Snow Guards Should be Used Snow guards are especially valuable for metal roofs above: Walkways & Entrances Parking Lots and Drive-through Areas Gutters & Vents Expensive Landscaping

Increasing Roof Maintenance Costs VS Declining Memberships Caring for older church facilities is an increasingly acute problem, particularly for most mainline denominations. As membership declines and budgets shrink, the beautiful edifices of yesteryear are becoming millstones that drag down churches that are forced to spend money on maintenance and repairs instead of ministry, charity and other Gospelderived imperatives.

What You Should Know About Roof Replacement.

One of the most important steps in designing a Roofing or Snow Guard system for an existing building involves evaluation of the existing roof. Before a specification for any new roof system or snow management accessory can be developed, the designer must first know the weight carrying capacity of the roof and whether to remove or retain the existing roof.

Although removal of the existing roof system is the most conservative design practice, the designer must analyze the costs and benefits of removal.

The next important step in designing and selecting a Roofing or Snow Guard system is to evaluate specific building conditions and building owner needs. In order to make the optimal selection, the designer must evaluate the life cycle costs and energy saving benefits of the many systems available today. While residential homes change hands on average once in every 7 years, religious places of worship typically outlive their congregations, meaning the same decision making criteria used to replace residential roofs should not be used for institutional facilities.

Initial costs of roofing systems can be calculated with reasonable accuracy, but it is much more difficult to accurately calculate the longer-term maintenance costs for different roofing systems. In order to make the best decision, a designer needs statistically accurate and reliable information based on actual historical performance of various roofing systems.
