Commercial Roof Consulting Services

If you are looking to find out what options you have with your existing roof, we offer a variety of professional Roof Audits that can help you determine the condition of your roof to help to extended the serviceable life of your existing roof or help you  budget for a new roof when the time comes.

All leak investigations begin with a visual inspection.  In some cases, if seen while actively leaking, the source can be identified, and no further investigation may be required.  In other cases, the visual investigation will assist us in developing the most cost-effective methodology to investigate your specific problem. 

Quality Control Monitoring is one of the best protective measures to insure compliance with the roofing specifications, as well as to work out specific details with the contractor and to coordinate the roofing project with the client’s representative as it relates to the project from start to finish. 

Roof Maintenance Systems has the ability to staff numerous projects at one time, including Registered Roof Observers where required. We offer full and part-time monitoring to fit into your budget.

When you ask roofing contractors to send you quote to reroof, they are mostly basing their price on the cheapest and quickest roof they can supply for you and are not considering what is best for you.

By definition, specifications should be specific to your project.  Therefore, having a roof consultant design your roof creates an environment where all the bidders are bidding the same scope of work which also helps minimize the unforeseen extras at the end of a project that sometimes increases the cost of the project substantially. Furthermore, A properly designed, installed and maintained roof can achieve 30 plus years of serviceable life.

The primary purpose of non-destructive testing such as Infrared Scans, Capacitance, and Nuclear Moisture Surveys is to identify and quantify areas of wet insulation within conventional low-slope roof systems. In many cases, these testing methods can provide a snapshot of the overall condition of the roof system beyond what can be seen on a visual basis alone.

Non-Destructive Testing can also be a maintenance tool for several reasons such as justification that the roof is in a failure mode and in need of replacement, identifying problem areas before they manifest themselves as interior leak conditions and identifying areas of wet insulation for the purpose of energy savings due to lost R-value.

Industry studies have found that the average life of a low slope roof system is approximately 16 years.  This is well below the anticipated 20-year roof life expectancy.  The reasons for these premature failures are normally due to poor installation, design or material failure, but also to the lack of a proactive maintenance program required by most, if not all, warranties. 

By performing a regular proactive roof maintenance program on a well designed and installed roof system, owners can achieve 25 to 30 years of serviceable life from their roofs. By getting an extra 10 to 15 years by performing preventative maintenance the life cost cycle of your roof could be a savings of 50% or greater.
