To keep your business running smoothly, you will need to take good care of your facilities, and when it comes to the care of your commercial roof, you will want to minimize interruptions and complications. Our team at Palmetto State Roofing & Sheet Metal is prepared to help and take care of this for you. We have a wide array of experience in the commercial roofing industry, and we know how to effectively maintain your roof. In this article, we’ll go over a few key things you need to know about commercial roof maintenance to keep your roof in great shape.
- Cleaning. One key step in commercial roof maintenance is to regularly clean the roof, gutters, and other infrastructure. Dirt, moss, and other contaminants will damage your roof material over time if they are allowed to remain there, but by regularly removing them via our routine maintenance plans, we can prevent this wear and tear. Cleaning your roof frequently will maximize its total lifespan.
- Inspection. In addition to cleaning your roof, you should also have it inspected regularly by our team, ideally at least once a year. Routine inspections are an essential part of commercial roof maintenance because they will alert you to problems as soon as possible after they first develop, which in turn allows you to correct any issues before they get worse.
- Application of Coatings. We recommend applying and reapplying a reflective coating for effective commercial roof maintenance. This will help protect your roof from UV damage, making it last longer. In addition, the reflective coating will help keep your building cool, and it will keep your monthly utility costs to a minimum.
