SELECTING A ROOF MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR
Selecting a roofing contractor to care for your roof system is
an important decision. Your goal should be to find a reputable company
with experience, knowledge and training to effectively manage your
roof maintenance program.
You should keep a healthy skepticism about the lowest bidder. If
it sounds too good to be true it probably is! Price is only one
criterion when selecting a roofing contractor knowledge, experience
and quality workmanship should also weigh heavily on your decision.
ROOF MAINTENANCE RULES OF THUMB
Do not wait until your roof leaks to take corrective measures,
this leads to expensive repair costs and or major facility disruptions.

susceptible to severe weathering, expansion or contraction and human
abuse.
Generally, roof systems are not designed for roof traffic other
than that required for maintenance services performed by a trained
professional.

have been purchased the building owner continues to be responsible
for proper roof care and maintenance such as:
