Commercial Roof Maintenance Plans in Pittsburgh, PA
Most flat roofs that fail early weren't neglected for lack of money. Nobody was assigned to look at them. A maintenance plan fixes that. Twice a year, in spring after the freeze-thaw season and in fall after the leaves drop, someone walks the whole roof, clears the drains and gutters, fixes the small things on the spot (a lifted seam, a loose edge, a cracked sealant joint) and sends you a photo report with anything bigger ranked and priced. Over a few years that report becomes the roof's history, which helps with budgeting, with warranty claims that ask for proof of maintenance, and when the building is sold or refinanced.
