If you own a commercial building in Arizona, you have a lot to budget for every month. You’ve got to maintain your building’s interior, exterior, and landscaping, and make a comfortable place for customers and workers. The cost of electricity is higher than ever before, and the sun is still hot, so keeping your HVAC system in tip-top shape is a major priority.
With all of those things to worry about, you might not think much about your roof, but you should. Regular commercial roof inspections and maintenance are vitally important to keep your roofing system working properly and extend its lifespan long into the future.
American Solar & Roofing provides commercial roofing services to keep your building running perfectly. We recommend annual maintenance to clean your roof, fix minor issues, identify major issues, and keep your roofing warranty intact.
Why commercial roof maintenance is so important
A good roof maintenance plan can extend the life of your roofing system by 10 years or more, simply by identifying small issues before they become big problems. On top of that, it will help you avoid costly emergency repairs and damage from water incursion.
Anything that collects on the roof allows water to pool in corners and low spots and reduces the ability of your roof to reflect sunlight. Dirt, sand, leaves, and objects left behind by maintenance workers can cause problems over time. HVAC malfunctions are another common source of moisture.
Unfortunately, non-roofing repair and maintenance contractors might not care much for how they treat your roof, and any minor damage they cause can get worse over time if it isn’t taken care of by a professional. If you have skylights, plumbing, HVAC, or exhaust hood systems on your roof, regular roofing inspection and maintenance is even more important.
Finally, if you have a cool roof, any debris and dirt reduces reflectivity. If the bright white coating of your roof becomes dirty, it will be less effective at keeping the heat away, and you’ll pay more for air conditioning.
American Solar & Roofing annual inspections
Our team of expert roofers will inspect your roof once per year, clear debris and remedy any minor issues, while identifying any larger issues that may need repairing in the coming year.
Our roof inspection includes the following services:
- Clearing all debris from your roofing system and removing it from the property
- Ensuring all roof penetrations are properly sealed; if not, we’ll add sealant
- Completing minor repairs using products that are compatible with your current roofing system
- Inspecting all roof sections for damage and documenting issues
- Providing recommendations for major roof repairs, if necessary
This inspection will take care of most common issues and keep your roofing system in great health for the coming year. Any necessary major repairs would be quoted after the visit and would include photo documentation of the issues encountered.
Our commercial roof inspection and maintenance services will help extend the life of your roof and keep your warranty intact. We’ll also give you an idea of how your roof is aging, allowing you to budget for future roof replacement.
When the time comes to replace or do a full restoration of your roof, our experts will already have intimate knowledge of the details of your building, and can recommend the exact right products to keep your roof in great shape for decades to come.
Cost of annual commercial roof inspection
Each commercial building is unique, and the cost of an annual inspection can vary widely based on the materials, age of the roof, and complexity of the job.
An annual inspection and included maintenance from American Solar & Roofing usually costs between 15 and 25 cents per square foot of roof space. That means the inspection for an average roof of about 15,000 square feet would cost between $2,250 and $3,750 per year.
These costs are much less expensive than the cost of water damage and emergency roof repairs, and only around 1 or 2 percent of the cost to replace the roof.
