Cost management is a top priority for every business owner. All business owners want to strengthen their bottom line, and keeping expenses low is one way of doing so. Because cost containment plays such a big role in business decision-making, it can be easy to focus only on immediate business-related expenses. Making sure that their commercial roof stays in good shape is not likely to stay top-of-mind.

However, all commercial roofs have problems at some point. When those problems arise, they need servicing from a professional roof contractor as fast as possible. Otherwise they may grow into big, expensive roof repair or replacement projects. And if an ongoing, pesky leak turns into a lot of roof leaks, think about the effect that can have on the building’s contents. If the leaks are in a room with computers or electronic equipment, the results could be disastrous and costly. Even worse, that is only factoring in inventory replacement costs. With the roofing costs, overall expenses can easily skyrocket.

At A-1 Commercial Roofing, we appreciate that you are keeping a lid on your costs as much as possible at all times. That’s why we offer free commercial roof inspections. In addition to showing what we bring to the table, we will be able to tell you all the options available while respecting your ongoing budgetary concerns.

Keep Your Roof in Good Shape

It’s an old chestnut: the best way to take care of problems is to prevent them in the first place. With a commercial roof, that’s especially true. Having your roof regularly inspected will nip any trouble in the bud before it arises. Over the long run, all those savings on expensive roofing projects can have a big impact on someone’s pocketbook.

Our team is professionally-trained and capable of inspecting any type of commercial roof. We can also provide an ongoing commercial roofing maintenance program so that your roof stays in tip-top shape for its entire life expectancy. Research shows that a roof that is not regularly maintenanced may only last for one-third or one-half of the life span it is slated for.

Your Needs Are in Good Hands

Among the problems we will look for include:

• Roof leaks (easily visible and hard-to-detect)
• Ponding water (places stress on roof cover and can lead to roof leaks or moisture build-up under the roof cover)
• Roof bubbling (signs of moisture trapped under a roof surfacing layer)
• Compromised roof flashing (impermeable roofing materials installed along a roof’s perimeter)
• Tears in the roof surfacing layer
• Alligator cracks in the roof surfacing layer (cracks that arise from powerful storms or winds)
• Debris pile-up (debris left on a roof from stormy weather or powerful wind activity)
• Skylights condition and secure fastening
• Roof tears or peels
• Roof cracks caused by the sun (sun’s energy causes a roof to expand, and cooler air causes it to contract- ongoing pressure can cause cracks)

Some problems will be proper to specific roof types. For example, a metal roof may incur rust or corrosion.

You don’t have to settle for ongoing roofing headaches and expensive stopgaps. Give us a call, and we can do a free roof inspection for you.
