Maintenance Extends the Life of Your Roof

Why is Roof Maintenance Essential?

The National Roofing Contractors Association (NCRA) recommends that regular preventative maintenance be performed on roof systems to minimize the possibility of roof leaks. In addition to wasted time and expense, leaking roofs can cause:

Damaged building interiors
Saturated (wet) insulation
Rusted or rotting decking

These situations will require extensive repairs, up to and including a complete tear-off and replacement of the roof system. The major expenses and hassles caused by this can be anticipated and prevented by regular roof maintenance.

Benefits of Regular Roof Maintenance

Regular maintenance is proactive, able to identify problems at early stages when it is easier and less costly to correct them.
Regular maintenance can identify potential leaks before they occur, preventing wasted time, expense, and property damage.
Regular maintenance allows for an organized approach to management of a roof system, and better planning of long-term capital expenses.
Regular maintenance allows for a greatly improved response time to address leakage problems.

Who Should Perform Regular Maintenance?

A roof warranty is not enough to assure satisfactory roof performance, as a warranty often contains provisions that limit the warrantor’s liability, or does not cover all types of damage that may occur to your roof. Warranty repairs can take a long time to be processed, while the roof issue sits unresolved.

A reputable and qualified, roofing contractor will perform regular, competent maintenance inspections to find and repair roof problems before they turn into leaks. The contractor should:

Have extensive experience repairing and maintaining various roof systems
Have a well-established business for many years with a proven track record
Be properly licensed and insured
Understand local building practices
Have a trained and experienced workforce
