Importance of Maintaining a Building’s Roof

Scheduled maintenance is critical to a buildings long term success for their commercial roof system.  According to studies of over 2,000 building owners, scheduled roof maintenance is recognized and utilized by most facility professionals. Infact almost eighty percent have a regular maintenance plan for their building. However, many of these building owners, have multiple properties. And nearly a quarter of them have maintenance plans on fewer than half of their buildings.

Many building owners don’t understand the importance of a regular maintenance plan. They think a new roof should last, and don’t understand why they should spend additional money. You may have installed the top of the line roof system, but it will still need to be maintained. The same can be said of a Bentley car, just because the car cost $300,000 it will still need to have regular checkups to keep it in great shape. Maintenance and repairs are necessary to get the most service life out of a building’s roof system.
