Why the roof to your business is so important
Most business owners focus on what happens inside their building, whether that be simply running a successful commercial business or keeping up with the cleaning, maintenance, and stocking. But one of the key factors many business owners forget about is the protection their roof provides, especially in a state like Florida. We understand that it can be easy to forget about your roof because, for the most part, it rarely needs attention. But if you aren’t performing routine maintenance, inspections, or getting a trusted roofing contractor in Tampa, FL for your commercial roof, then you can be in for a rude awakening when a problem arises.
Common roofing concerns you should worry about
- Lack of maintenance
One of the easiest ways to keep your roof protected is to get routine maintenance and inspections. While it doesn’t have to be every month, scheduling an inspection every six months can help catch problems before they get serious. And if there are any minor or major problems, addressing them early with proper maintenance will keep you and your business safe and dry. As a business, your commercial roof protects more than just you and your customers, it is often the first line of defense to protecting your entire livelihood!
2. Not preparing for hurricane season
Hurricane season poses a huge threat to business and homeowners alike. If your commercial roof is not prepared for a hurricane, you can wake up to big problems after just one big storm. At Stay Dry Roofing, we recommend all businesses schedule a maintenance and inspection just before hurricane season. Scheduling early is important, because this season is also our busiest, and if you wait until the last minute, you may not get serviced in time. Our professional roofing contractors will evaluate the risk factor of your roof and offer solutions and fixes to help you have peace of mind during this nerve-wracking season.
3. Leaks, Pooling, and Moisture
In Florida, rain and water is a big concern for commercial roofs. If your roof does not drain water properly from its slope, then the water will pool on your roof and slowly cause damage to the structure. Over time, this will lead to leaks, mold, and rot. If you notice any pooling or leaks, you should call Stay Dry Roofing right away! Any form of excessive and unwanted moisture can quickly lead to damage to your roof, walls, and even business products, electronics, and carpeting. If it has rained for several days straight and you haven’t had an inspection in some time, we recommend you get a professional roofing contractor up top to evaluate if you have any leaks or pooling occurring.
4. Poor commercial roofing installation
Stay Dry Roofing has been serving Tampa Bay, FL businesses for over 30 years, so we are a trusted source for installing new roofs. However, many businesses choose to go with cheaper options or have just inherited an old roof. When this is the case, subpar workmanship, materials, and experience can show within just a few months. Our team of expert roofing contractors can help you discover your needs for a new commercial roof and install it with a degree of craftsmanship that will last you for decades!
5. Excessive weight on the roof
It is common for commercial roofs to support external structures like AC units, sheds, and even antennae. But if a roof is old, damaged, or the other structures are not placed properly, it can severely compromise the health and integrity of your roof. The last thing any business owner wants is cracks, damage, and collapse of their roof! Our team can help evaluate the proper placement for your structures and additions so they are in the most sturdy areas of the roof. And if we notice any cracks or sagging, we will address them right away!
