How long have you had your roof? Has it been around for years or did you recently install a new one? Regardless of its age, if you want to get the most from your roof, you need commercial preventative roof maintenance. Roof maintenance services not only prevent potential problems, but they can help extend the life expectancy of your roof. By taking the time to consider the long term and scheduling regular maintenance, you can ultimately save your business a lot of money.

Simply put, investing in a preventive maintenance plan is an investment for the future. Think about your roof in the same way you think about your car. A car requires the occasional oil change to keep it running smoothly. However, the longer you go without an oil change, the more likely your car will break down and need to be repaired or replaced. 

The same is true for your roof. Regular maintenance will keep your roof in good condition. The longer it’s in good condition, the longer it will last.

When Should Preventative Maintenance Be Performed?

All commercial roofs require preventative maintenance, but when should it be done and how often? Guidelines from the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) recommend roof maintenance be performed at least twice a year. Most commonly, maintenance is carried out during the spring and fall. It’s also important to have an inspection whenever severe weather hits. 

The Benefits of Roof Maintenance

When you take a proactive approach to the care of your roof, you’ll be able to take advantage of benefits like these:

• Low Costs: Being proactive when taking care of your roof can minimize or even eliminate the need for costly repairs.
• Improve Safety: A roof that is in disrepair can create hazardous conditions for you and your employees. Regular preventative maintenance is a great way to ensure your building remains safe for everyone who enters.
• Minimize Downtime: One of the worst things that can happen to your business is downtime. A roof that needs to be fixed can force you to shut down your business. The longer your business is closed, the more money you lose.
• Better Appearance: Customers judge a business by its appearance before they judge it by its service. If your roof is in noticeably bad condition, customers may choose to take their business elsewhere. 

Prevent Water Damage: Debris can clog drains and prevent your roof from being properly drained. This can lead to water leaks and other problems down the road.
