Roofing maintenance plan does more than just annual repairs
I pay for commercial roof maintenance and I’m so glad that I do.
Every year, the commercial roofing company comes out and inspect my roof and make sure it’s all in good shape. Then they fix up any issues and they also apply a fresh coat of tar every few years. This has kept my business from having any real issues when it comes to roof leaks. However, even the best roof maintenance can’t prevent against all issues. For instance, we had a pretty big storm come through here last week. My managers opened up the business in the morning and they discovered a pretty good leak in one of the corners of the building. I called up my usual commercial roofing company and was surprised that they were able to come out within the hour. That’s when I found out that my roofing plan not only covers their annual visit but I get up to two free visits a year as well. I still have to pay for the materials and labor but the visit itself is free. The maintenance plan also puts me at the head of the line or emergency roof repair after a storm like this. One of our neighboring companies doesn’t pay for a roof maintenance plan and they had to wait over 2 weeks before any commercial roofing company could help them out. Since they’re usually open to the public, this caused a big problem with wet floor signs all over the place and parts of the store closed down. I felt kind of bad for them. I gave them the number to my roofing supplier. But they weren’t able to help them either for several weeks.
