Commercial Roof Maintenance

Commercial Roofing Maintenance for Los Angeles & Southern California

Along with many other top quality roofing services, Stone Roofing Company is a trusted provider of commercial and industrial roofing maintenance for Los Angeles and Southern California commercial, industrial, and warehouse buildings. Just like your heating and air conditioning equipment, a roof needs periodic servicing and inspection in order to maximize return on your investment. Not only is owner roof maintenance required under most roofing manufacturer’s warranty conditions, but the National Roofing Contractors Association has determined that regular roof maintenance can add years of serviceable life to most roof systems. Periodic roof inspections can uncover potential problems before they become emergencies, and they can reduce the total amount of expenditures on a roof system due to service calls.

Successful property management depends on periodic roof inspections and regularly scheduled maintenance of your roofing system. Periodic inspection will help you extend the life of the roof as well as reduce the potential of water damage to the interior of the building. Also, roof surfaces do not wear evenly due to weathering and other environmental exposures. This holds true for different sections of the same roof surface. To reduce the potential for roof damage it is recommended that commercial roofing structures be inspected at least twice a year. The suggested times for routine roofing inspections are in the spring after the winter season, and late fall after the hot summer but before the winter weather arrives. Inspections are also warranted following a major weather event such as wind and /or hail storms.

California Commercial Roofing Systems may fail due to a number of factors:

• Poor workmanship during roof installations

• Poor design of the roof system

• Faulty roofing materials

• Weathering or weather events

• Trapped moisture or mechanical roof damage

• Neglect and lack of roof maintenance

• Foot traffic on the roof surface

PROTECT YOUR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY: IDENTIFY PROBLEM AREAS AND COMPLETE ROOF REPAIRS BEFORE THEY BECOME MAJOR ISSUES

A successful California commercial roof maintenance program should be a systematic approach similar to that of any other mechanical system requiring maintenance. Your HVAC systems for example require regular inspections and routine maintenance to keep them in operational condition. As with any other maintenance program, management should assign this duty to a competent and trained person. The maintenance program should include documentation (inspection forms, photographs, notes, repair invoices, etc.) to identify and record the issues noted during the routine inspections and to provide guidance to the contractors who will complete any needed repairs. The goal of a commercial roof maintenance program is to identify problem areas and complete repairs before they become major issues.
