Roof Maintenance & Inspection – Why bother if it isn't leaking?

My roof is “guaranteed”. Why spend more money than I already did?

The life of your roof is directly related to how often it is inspected and how quickly small problems are identified & repaired. Periodic maintenance is vital to a long & healthy roof life!

Yes, there is a drain down there!

The federal government, which is the largest building owner in the United States, found that their average roof lasted less than 5 years before leakage occurred and less than 8 years before replacement.

A national roofing association has shown that as many as 35% of all roofs do not reach their life expectancy. Of the causes identified with premature roof failure 47% is due to poor workmanship, 16% to poor design, 9% each to faulty materials and weathering, 8% each to trapped moisture or mechanical damage and 3% to roof traffic.

If you don't have a formalized inspection & maintenance program to identify and repair roof problems, how long do you think your roof will last?

Our goal at Affordable Roofing is to educate as many owners and building managers to the fact that programmed roof maintenance makes economic sense. A roof inspected semi-annually can last as much as 50% longer than one that is visited only when there is a leak.
