What do our maintenance programs entail?
Beyond what you can do for yourself, there are some roof services that only we professionals can provide. Here are a few:
- Roof inspections
For instance, if there has been a storm or hurricane lately, you will have to get an inspection even if you already had your regular ones.
- Coming up with a maintenance checklist
Such documentation also helps you do a life-cycle cost analysis. Ultimately, these records help you keep track of your roof’s state and will help you decide when it’s time to replace it.
