Your commercial property requires a wide range of
maintenance considerations to remain efficient, safe, and appealing to your
customers and employees. With all the maintenance schedules to consider, it can
be easy to forget the importance of commercial roof maintenance. Your roof is
out of sight, out of mind, and easily forgotten. The following misconceptions
lead people to believe regular roof maintenance is not a priority and
believing that will cost you.
“Maintenance Isn’t Important”
Commercial roofing materials are designed to withstand
nearly any weather condition without failure. Modern advances in roofing
technology have diminished the amount of maintenance necessary, which allows you
to enjoy a durable, weather-proof barrier for longer. Of course, this doesn’t
mean that proper maintenance isn’t a critical factor in your building
investment. Partially open seams, loose flashings, or small leaks need to be
fixed promptly to avoid exponential damage and costs.
“Warranties Cover All Commercial Roof Damage”
While your shingle, metal, or single-ply roofing materials may
have come with a generous warranty, there are a number of reasons your warranty
could be voided. Many warranties only cover material defects, which won’t
protect you from workmanship issues. This is why it is important to work with a
trusted, reputable roofing contractor like Matrix Roofing Systems. Not only
will we install your roof correctly the first time, but we can offer
preventative maintenance to help protect your roof from premature failure. If
any damage does occur, our emergency repair services can fix it before it grows
into a large, costly problem.
“All Commercial Roofs Last 20 or More Years Without Maintenance”
Single-ply commercial roofing systems like TPO, PVC, and
EPDM, if properly maintained, can last over 25 years. However, improper
maintenance can dramatically reduce this timeline. With 80% or more of
commercial roofs failing prematurely due to neglect, it’s essential to keep
your roof maintained and routinely inspected. Expecting a commercial roof
system to exceed the limit of its warrantable life without regular preventative
maintenance is no different than expecting a new car to reach 100,000 miles
without regular service and oil changes….it’s not going to happen.
