Boak & Sons is no stranger to both residential and commercial roofing services. Each type of commercial roof has different ways to improve longevity, helping the owner save money. This is especially important in the commercial roofing field. There are many elements that work together to make up a roof system, and by maintaining each section you can successfully lengthen the life of your commercial roof. Here are the 3 steps Sam Boak recommends following to make that happen:
- Keep track of any service records and maintenance history.
Having a thorough history of the work done on your roof will help you and your roofing contractor better understand what type of service your roof may need. Keep track of all your records, including any warranties, repair records, changes in rooftop equipment as well as a detailed plan of the roof. Warranties are one of the most common issues we see with roof services. Many building owners are paying for repairs and maintenance that are covered under warranty. Sam Boak implements a system called Roof Asset Management at Boak & Sons, which actually tracks many of these for you automatically.
- Schedule regular roof inspections.
Just because you don’t see water coming through your roof into your building doesn’t mean your commercial roof isn’t experiencing problems. In fact, by catching those problems before you have major leaks, you can save yourself a lot of money and time. This is why regular inspections are crucial. Our Roof Asset Management program also includes regular inspections that you can schedule when it’s most convenient for you!
- Keep up with needed maintenance.
Once your inspections have been conducted, make sure you’re not ignoring any necessary maintenance that needs done! Sam Boak knows that it can be an investment to have those problems addressed, but as we said before, ignoring those issues can cost you much more money in the long run. Tackle the maintenance and repair issues as soon as they arise so you can keep your commercial roof healthy for years.
