The Importance of Regular Roof Maintenance

A roof is the most important piece of armor on a building. It’s the first and last line of defense against the brutal assault of nature’s elements. It protects you from rain, from wind, from snow and ice, from hail and sleet. It’s not enough to have a new roof installed and let it go for twenty years until the next time it’s due for replacement. Regular maintenance of your roof is vital to the integrity of your building and will extend the life of your roof and building as well as saving you money in repairs and insurance premiums in the long run.

Ignoring the Problem is Dangerous

You should never take the approach that your roof is an out of sight, out of mind concern, or that once properly installed, it’s good to go for the next fifteen-to-twenty years. As the elements build, it is not uncommon for roofs to fail prematurely, resulting in damage to assets, loss of revenue and usable space, decrease in resale value and worst of all, in reputation, which can hurt your cash flow down the road if you’re a commercial or residential landlord.

Regular Maintenance

Calling in the services of a qualified professional roofing company will ensure that your roof remains stable and in good repair throughout the life. Not only will this protect you from premature roof failure, it can in fact extend the life of your roof beyond its normal lifespan. Maintenance, in the long run, costs far less than repairing damages from a failed roof, and the savings makes it well worthwhile.

Commercial roofing contractors provide many services beyond simple installation of the roof. Some of these include:
