Commercial roofs are in many respects different from residential roofs, but they are also the same, at least when it comes to their need for inspection and maintenance. Whatever the roof on your commercial property is made from, you need to get it looked at regularly – here are some tips about how to do it right:
- Schedule two inspection sessions per year – your roof needs to be inspected by Colorado Springs commercial roofing contractors in spring, to check for any damage that may have appeared during the winter and again in fall, to check for whatever the summer has done to your roof and to prepare the structure for the challenges of the coming winter;
- Include adjacent components, too – the flashing, the chimneys, the roof windows, the components of the drainage system, including the gutters and the downspouts all need to be checked for damage;
- Clean the roof after the inspection – roof cleaning is an essential part of roof maintenance, very important for keeping your roof in good health;
Repair all the issues detected during the inspection – with proper maintenance, the issues that the inspection will reveal are likely to be minor and easy to fix. However, minor roof problems can turn into major problems quickly, so it is wise to see to all the repairs in a timely manner
