Why You Need To Set Up a Commercial Roof Maintenance Plan Today

Many business and property owners think of roofing costs as a one-time expense. After the initial cost of installing a new roof, you might assume there’s no use in investing any more money until your building needs a new surface. However, a commercial roof maintenance program actually saves you money in the long run by proactively minimizing the cost of roof replacement or repairs.

In this article, we’ll discuss the importance of commercial roof maintenance plans, how they work, and the benefits of hiring experienced contractors like Rainville-Carlson. If you’re interested in how a roofing maintenance contractor can reduce your business’ roofing costs, keep reading.

The Importance of Commercial Roof Maintenance Programs

Commercial roof maintenance plans are essential to keeping your building safe, secure, and up to code. Primarily, they involve scheduling regular inspections and repairs to identify potential problems that could lead to major damage in the future, such as water leaks, punctures, or tears. By having a commercial roofing company inspect your roof regularly, you can catch any issues early on and save money by avoiding expensive repairs.

How Long Do Commercial Roofs Last?

We’re aware that your business probably doesn’t factor in replacement costs for a new roof every year, nor should you. The lifespan of a commercial roof can vary depending on the type of material used and how well it is maintained. Generally, a metal roof will last between 15-20 years, while a flat or low slope membrane roof may last up to 25 years. In all cases, regular maintenance is critical to extending the service lifespan of your building’s roof.

How Do Roof Maintenance Programs Work?

Outlined below are the steps typically involved in a commercial roof maintenance plan:

Regular Inspections

Regular inspections are the first step any commercial contractor takes in a roof maintenance program. This helps identify any damage, signs of wear and tear, or other issues that could compromise the inner membrane of your building’s surface. During inspections, contractors like the experts at Rainville-Carlson will look for cracked tiles, leaking pipes or drains, ponding water, and other factors, so they can repair underlying problems before they become costly repairs.

Roof Surface Cleaning

Regular cleaning is also an important function performed by contractors for maintaining the health of your commercial roof over time. Depending on your roofing material, this could include gutter cleaning, moss removal from flat roofs, and power spraying asphalt shingle roofs to remove dirt and debris buildup. Eliminating debris from your roof will help prevent moisture buildup and premature failure over time.

Repair and Restoration Services

Depending on what is found during inspections or contractors’ cleanings, some repair or restoration work may be required for optimal performance from your commercial roof over time. Replacing tiles, patching areas experiencing ponding water due to damage from storms, or other environmental factors are addressed in this stage of the commercial roof maintenance plan process.

Re-Coating Services

Re-coating services are essential for preventing premature deterioration and failure of your internal system. This process ensures that all surface parts are protected against UV radiation and extreme temperatures, which could cause cracks and other forms of damage if left unchecked. Re-coating solutions also add an extra layer of protection against moisture buildup, increasing the risk of mold growth and water seepage into your property’s interior if not addressed by experienced professionals like Rainville-Carlson.

If your business is interested in commercial roof maintenance plans, you may also be wondering if your roof qualifies for a restoration. Learn more here.

Benefits of Commercial Roof Maintenance Plans

Do you know which commercial roof repairs are covered under your warranty? If not, you’ll probably be surprised about how much is included. Commercial roof maintenance programs protect you from factors like internal leakage, which isn’t typically covered by roofing warranties. Repairs are generally covered under the maintenance contract terms, so you won’t be hit with any surprise costs to keep your roof in great shape. With a maintenance contract, it’s much easier to understand what will and won’t be covered in the event of roof issues.

Covered below in-depth are the benefits of creating a plan with a reputable contractor like Rainville-Carlson.

Boosted Lifespan

One of the main benefits of having a commercial roof maintenance plan is that it can significantly extend your roofing system’s lifespan. Having trained professionals inspect your roof regularly will help ensure that signs of aging are identified before any significant damage occurs. You won’t have to worry about replacing your entire roof prematurely due to a lack of maintenance.

Quick and Affordable Repairs

When you work with a company like Rainville-Carlson, you’re more likely to get more affordable repairs and replacements when necessary. Our team has decades of experience on commercial projects, so we know exactly what materials will work best for each situation. Our expertise allows us to provide our clients with faster service at lower costs than other contractors in the Minnesota area.

Improved Security

One key benefit we want our clients to realize when they set up a commercial roof maintenance plan with Rainville-Carlson is improved safety and security for all occupants or employees. A well-maintained building often means fewer risks from accidents or malfunctions caused by roof damage. Plus, if you have personnel on multiple floors within the same structure, having reliable roofs across each level provides added peace of mind for everyone involved.
