Roof Maintenance

Look To the Roof to Find Savings
In this day of a troubled economy, business owners are looking everywhere to find areas in which to reduce expenses and increase bottom-line profitability. That search now includes the roof, where money can be found through Proactive Maintenance Programs.

The Fifth Wall
Your roof serves as the fifth wall of the building. The roof must withstand extreme heat and cold, snow, ice, UV light, heavy rains, high wind, chemical spills, and rooftop traffic. Roofing systems must be 100% effective in order to keep water out of buildings.

A 1" hole or split in the roof could allow the roof to be defective and severe damage may result to all of the following:

The Hidden Costs of a Roof Leak
Interior roof leaks can also result in other expenses and legal exposures to your company that can be very costly. They include:

Fact:  “A roof can leak for days, weeks, or even months before it is noticed inside the building; causing severe damage”.

Roof Maintenance

The Key to Long-Term Roof System Performance
Roofing professionals always agree that a good roof system requires

(1) proper design, (2) quality materials, (3) quality application, and (4) proper maintenance to perform successfully.

Fact:  “Once the roof system is installed, nothing is more critical to its long-term performance than establishing regular inspections and proper maintenance.

Deferred Maintenance VS. Proactive Maintenance
The roof for the most part is out of sight and out of mind, but ignoring the roof always leads to premature roof failure, which means water can invade the building and wreak havoc with people, equipment, inventory, and productivity.  Many business owners are now adopting a strategy of proactive maintenance rather than deferred maintenance.

Fact:   “Adopting a proactive Roof Maintenance Program (RMP) will allow most companies to save significant bottom-line dollars on an annual basis”.

Roof Inspections
Ideally all roofs should be inspected in the spring and fall and after any severe weather event.  Far too often, the cause of a roof failure is the absence of proper maintenance and inspections.  As a bare minimum all roofs should receive an annual inspection.

Fact:  “Periodic inspections and routine maintenance can increase the life of any roofing system by up to 50%”.

Manufacturer’s Warranties … Are NOT All Inclusive
There is a common misconception by building owners that manufacturer’s warranties are designed to cover virtually any roofing problem, regardless of the cause or circumstance. Manufacturer’s warranties do not guarantee that the roof system will not leak or is suitable for the project where it is installed.

Fact:  “Manufacturer’s warranties are written to significantly limit the manufacturer’s liability”.

Roof Maintenance Program (RMP)
At 1-800-ROOF CARE, as well as the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), we believe that the best way for a building owner to ensure satisfactory roof system performance is to have a long-term maintenance agreement with a professional roofing contractor.

A Roof Maintenance Program (RMP) is proactive in nature and offers the following components and advantages:

Program Components

• Visual roof inspections - A detailed 50 point inspection.
• Photographic and written documentation of the roof conditions.
• Quotes for recommended work.
• Repairs for deficient conditions.
• Routine maintenance - As needed.

Program Advantages

• Identifies minor problems before severe damage occurs
• Protects a building owner's investment
• Increases the service life of the roof by as much as 50%
• Reduces your out of pocket expenses
• Maximizes your roofing budget
• Validates the warranty
• Increases the property value
• Allows for a planned and organized approach to management of the roof
• Allows for responsible, timely preparation of long-term capital expenditures
• All maintenance plans are custom tailored for every roof

Why Should a Building Owner Have a Roof Maintenance Program (RMP)?

• Over 80% of all roofs are replaced prematurely.
• 9 out of 10 roofs are installed wrong.
• 2/3 of all roof failures are from improper installation.
• The average building owner will spend over $127,500 on roofing in a lifetime.
• A sucessful RMP can reduce that by up to 1/2.
• Roofing materials have tripled in price in 3 years.
• The average cost of a new commercial roof is $42,500 (10,000 sq. ft. average)
• Repairs and maintenance is thousands of dollars cheaper than roof replacement.
• RMPs are tax deductible.
• RMPs typically cost about 1% to 3% per year of the estimated total replacement costs. (cost depends on the RMP coverage)
• It is money well spent.
• RMPs can save up to 50% over the life of a 30-year roof compared to replacing it every 15-20 years.
• Most manufacturer’s warranties REQUIRE PLANNED ROOF MAINTENANCE for the warranty to remain valid.
• 29% of roof leaks are caused by heating and cooling systems.
• 25% of roof leaks are caused by skylights or louvers.
• Less than 1% of roof failure is caused by defective roofing materials; leaving poor installation, severe weather, and lack of maintenance to blame.

Fact:  “Last year over 36% of all roofing related expenses were unbudgeted, meaning building owners had to scramble to come up with the funds to cover their assets. DON’T LET THAT BE YOU!”

Nobody thinks twice about paying for an oil change or air conditioning check. We realize keeping our cars and houses maintained is cheaper than getting them repaired. It is equally important to maintain your roof just as you do your car.  A Wise Building Owner Will Implement a Roof Maintenance Program.

What Causes Those UGLY Roof Stains?
Most roof stains are caused by the growth of algae that feed on organic matter that is frequently found on a roof’s surface. The portion of a roof that receives the least amount of sunlight is more likely to have roof stains. This explains why some homes may have roof stains only on one side of the roof. It is typically the side with northern and/or western exposure or in heavily shaded areas.
