Commercial Roof Maintenance

Our climate in Florida is unique to that of any other state. While our winters may be mild, our summers and the hurricane season take a toll on our roofs. A solid Roof Asset Management Program is your only defense to protect your investment.

Get the Maximum Return on your Building’s Roofing System with Certified Services Roof Asset Management. Save Money by . . .

• Keeping existing roofing-system manufacturer warranties in force by performing and documenting the required preventive maintenance procedures
• Avoiding the potential expense of catastrophic damage
• Planning for and controlling the expenses of minor repairs, major repairs and timely emergency repairs
• Extending the life of your roof

Single ply roofing systems coming out of their 10-year initial manufacturer’s warranty period can be maintained for another 10 to 15 years with good management and proper preventive maintenance procedures.

After its installation, the low-slope single ply roofing system of a commercial building can become a forgotten asset. Years of neglect cause minor problems to balloon into major repair issues and can speed up a roofing system’s eventual replacement by as much as a decade. The replacement cost of a commercial roofing system can equal ten percent of a commercial structure’s value. Certified Services' Roof Asset Management helps building owners and managers control roof repair costs, extend roof life and sensibly budget for a roof’s eventual replacement.

Preventive Maintenance vs. Roof Replacement For a 50,000 sf mechanically attached single-ply membrane roofing system:
Preventive Maintenance Cost $.09/sf X 50,000 = $2500/yr	Replacement Cost $9/sf X 50,000 = $450,000
