Having the roof on the commercial building you are in charge of maintained is essential for smooth business operations and ultimately for your success in business, too. If you already have a roofer to turn to for roofing emergencies, but you would like to implement a commercial roofing maintenance plan starting at the beginning of the following year, here is a breakdown of what you need to pay attention to:

• Your roofer’s experience – you need a roofer who specializes in the type of roof that you have. If the roofer you currently work with does not have ample experience of this kind, start looking for a contractor who can meet your expectations;
• Choose the services that you need – ask your roofer to perform a detailed inspection of your roof and to provide recommendations regarding the services that will work best for you. The most common maintenance services include regular roof surveys, inspections, roof and gutter cleaning, status reports and minor repairs;
• Choose the frequency of your maintenance sessions – roofing maintenance sessions should take place at 6-month intervals, but if your facility is located in a very windy or stormy region, you can schedule a detailed roof maintenance after each major storm to make sure that any problem caused by the storm is fixed in a timely manner, see http://www.nemasonry.com/new-england-roofing.
