- It Maximizes the Roof’s Lifespan – A long-lasting roof means more time between replacements, which can have a positive impact on your property’s long-term costs. A commercial roof is exposed to considerably more stress compared to its residential counterparts. The damage caused by continued exposure to high winds, ultraviolet rays, and airborne debris can shorten a roof’s life and lead to a premature roof replacement. Sticking to a scheduled maintenance routine can help you get the fullest extent of your roof’s life span – perhaps even extend it.
- It Helps Minimize Business Disruption – If your highrise is housing several businesses, an unattended roof leak can cost several days’ worth of revenue. Keeping a close eye on the condition of your commercial roofing, as well as addressing potential problems in a timely manner, will cost you less. But more importantly, it guarantees business continuity by preventing disruptions from happening in the first place.
- It Helps Prevent Loss of Assets –
- It Helps Increase Your Property Value – No tenant would want to occupy office space in a building with a leaky roof. In a retail setting, leaks can get into the merchandise – which can be problematic if you’re selling food or paper products – and adds to the risk of personal injury to customers. On the other hand, if your building is reputed to be well-maintained and leak-free, it can increase property value and command better rental costs.
