Commercial Roof Maintenance Questions
What does a commercial roof maintenance visit include?
Our standard maintenance visit includes: complete roof inspection with written condition report and photographs, drain clearing and confirmation of drainage function, minor membrane repairs (splits, blisters, open laps under 12 inches), flashing reseats at lifted terminations, HVAC curb cap inspection and re-caulking where needed, and a written priority list of work needed before the next cycle. The visit report goes to the property owner or facilities manager within 48 hours of the inspection.
Does my roof warranty require documented maintenance?
Yes — almost all commercial roof warranties from major manufacturers (GAF, Carlisle, Firestone, Soprema, Johns Manville) require documented semi-annual or annual inspections by a qualified roofing contractor to maintain warranty validity. If you can't produce maintenance records for the inspection period, the warranty may be voided at claim time. Our maintenance program produces the documentation your warranty requires.
How often should a commercial roof be inspected?
The industry standard for commercial roof maintenance is twice per year — once in spring after winter weather stress and once in fall before the storm season. Roofs with high equipment density, active penetrations, or known problem areas may benefit from quarterly visits. Our maintenance agreement specifies the inspection frequency appropriate to your roof's condition and warranty requirements.
What repairs are included in a maintenance visit?
Minor repairs performed during the inspection visit are included — minor membrane repairs under 12 inches, drain clearing, flashing reseats at lifted terminations, HVAC curb re-caulking. Larger repairs — seam replacements, significant flashing work, drain replacement — are documented as recommendations and quoted separately. The goal is to catch problems when they're minor-repair scope, not let them become significant-repair scope.
Can you manage a roof maintenance program across multiple buildings?
Yes. Portfolio maintenance programs are a standard offering. We coordinate inspection schedules across all buildings in your portfolio, deliver condition reports by building and by portfolio, and maintain a capital planning spreadsheet updated after each inspection cycle. Multi-building programs receive priority scheduling during peak maintenance periods.
