The Benefits of Commercial Roof Maintenance
Why Maintain Your Commercial Roof?
- Maintenance is the EASY way to focus on sustainability. Keep your roofing system in use and out of the landfill.
- For a fraction of the cost of replacement, the lifespan of a roof can be extended by decades!
- On average, for every 3,000 – 4,000 sq ft of roof materials removed, a full shipping container worth of trash is sent to the dump!
- For most roofing systems, annual maintenance (with documentation) is required to keep your warranty in good standing. Just like an oil change on your car.
- Roof system maintenance is often the most neglected area of a roof management program. It's also the single most important factor (after proper installation) for determining the life span and cost of a roof system. – NRCA.net
- What “wears out” roofs? Forgetting about maintenance…this is perhaps the single biggest cause of premature roof failure. – GAF.com
- Full-service, roof maintenance program designed to extend the serviceable life of your roofing system.
- Warranties range from one-year labor-only, to 20- year manufacturer backed labor and material guarantees.
- Free roof inspections performed and assessments provided.
- Fully customizable to meet the needs/budget of building ownership/management.
- Discounts available for multi-year maintenance plans.
- Discounts available with multiple site/full portfolio maintenance plans.
Repair
The first part of our process will be to repair known leaks with torch-applied membranes, mastics or other sealants. Any exposed fasteners or metal seams will be sealed over, and areas with existing blistering will be cut open and sealed over.
Any new rooftop equipment that has been added (or is needed), will be identified and patched. Finally, we will patch areas of parapet walls with sagging or fallen membrane.
Maintain
Our maintenance stage begins with a thorough removal of all trash and debris from the roofing system. If necessary, we will clean all of the waterways as well.
We will next re-seal all pipes, corners, drains and other penetrations with acrylic mastic or caulking (depending on system type). Finally we’ll coat over areas of degraded cap sheet or ponding water, as necessary.
Restore
As your commercial roofing system approaches the end of its useful life, it may qualify for a roof restoration which could extend the life by up to 20 years. Two most common roofing restoration systems:
ACRYLIC – Elastomeric coatings applied approx. 15 to 30 mils thick that form a tough, seamless membrane.
Note: Most 10-year acrylic systems can be re-coated again after 10 years, extending the roofing system by another decade +!
SILICONE – Permanent, seamless membranes that won’t crack or shrink and will stand up to ponding water.
System warranties of 10, 15 and 20 years available.
- Prior to any work being performed, the roof will be inspected, and a written assessment/proposal will be provided.
- Before and after photos will be provided to customer and maintained on a customer portal.
- Much like an oil change of a car, in case of a warranty claim, maintenance records will be required by the membrane manufacturer.
- Annual records are also important to identify any TI work performed by tenants.
- Some manufacturer’s warranties will be voided by lack of annual maintenance
