WHO WE ARE
Roofing Repairs and Maintenance
Every day your roof experiences wear and tear through the process of natural aging and exposure to the elements. If maintenance services are not completed on a regular basis, the service life of the roof will be greatly reduced and the roof warranty may become void. Today the average life of a properly maintained and installed concrete tile roof with 2 layers of underlayment is expected to last 30-50 years. The average life of a properly maintained and installed composition shingle roof system is 25-50 years. The service life will be shorter if these roofs are not properly maintained.
Roof maintenance is the regular scheduling of tasks to keep your roof in a watertight condition. A roof maintenance program will protect the longevity of your roof. When we perform the annual roof maintenance inspection, we will check your entire roofing system, looking for any signs of damage, including splits, blisters, clogged drains, unattached roof top equipment, trees/shrubs growing too close to the roof, open seams, missing or broken roof tiles and/or blown off shingles. We will also inspect the whole interior, keeping an eye out for signs that a roof leak repair is needed. It is the continued maintenance of these items that will keep your building watertight and extend your roof's expected service life.
We know that scheduling appointments can be a hassle, so we've created two distinct programs designed to provide you with the roof maintenance you need while saving you time and money.
Low Maintenance Program
Our Low Maintenance program is for the roof that is in good, functional condition and has several years of active use ahead of it. We will visit your property once a year to help you be sure that your roof is performing at its highest level and has not suffered any damage that requires immediate attention. This will help you avoid costly repairs in the future.

WHY US
Improper Sealing Around Roof Penetrations
In most cases, the sealant is a silicon-based caulking that prevents water from entering the roof structure. It is utilized when flashings are nailed down, when there is a junction between them, or when they are not tight enough. The penetration or flashing is especially vulnerable to water infiltration and leakage if the sealant is fractured or degraded. It is crucial to confirm that the sealant your roofer used continues to be durable year after year. Thus, it is imperative to have a qualified roof inspector do a semi-annual roof survey.
Failed Roof Flashing
Flashings Are Often Constructed Of Copper Or Galvanized Metal Intended To Divert Water Away From The Roofing Materials, Particularly Near Valleys And Penetrations. This Is Accomplished During Installation By Passing The Bottom Edge Of The Flashing Over The Roofing Material Immediately Below It And Then Passing The Top Edge Of The Flashing Below The Underlayment Directly Above It. But, If The Flashing Subsequently Starts To Degrade, The Seams, Nails, And Joints Below It Become Exposed To The Elements Of Nature, Leading To A Significant Leak.
Old Materials and an Aging Roof
As it ages, your roof will experience more significant wear and tear, and the roofing materials will lose some durability. Your roof will eventually wear out, which is why commercial roof repair is essential. With sound construction and upkeep, most commercial flat roofs only survive 10–20 years on average.
To increase the lifespan of your roof, it is essential to have routine roof inspections and minor repairs as necessary. Before a complete replacement becomes essential, repairs might buy a lot of time.

Common Causes of Commercial Roof Leaks
What can you do to protect your commercial roof?
Maintain Records
It is vital to keep all information and documentation about your roof. Building owners and facility managers should know the roof’s size, age, and maintenance history. These records must be stored in a location that is both secure and easily accessible.
Conduct Routine Inspections
Frequent roof inspections allow you to make the required adjustments and prevent leaks and expensive repairs. You may save time, money, hassles, commercial roof repair expenses, and expenditures to replace the inside of the building by taking care of these issues before they explode.
Repair Correctly & Keep the Roof Clean and Free of Debris
Choose your roof inspector wisely. Your roofing inspector may evaluate and define any potential risks or problems to your roof. As crucially important as the roof itself is, an inspector you can rely on and a competent, certified specialist will give your roof and business their full attention and examination.
Maintaining a clean, debris-free roof is critical, just like any other structure. Leaves and other debris might not first seem to be able to harm a durable commercial roofing system. Still, if left unattended, these minor messes can eventually become serious issues, leading to leaks and other damage.
