Extend the Life of Your Commercial Roof with Preventative Maintenance 

Routine maintenance reduces the risk of early roof failure, water damage, and costly emergency repairs. Equity Commercial Roofing provides commercial maintenance services tailored to your building, ensuring your roof remains compliant, structurally sound, and performing as designed over time.

Why Preventative Maintenance Is Necessary

Reactive roof repairs typically cost four times more than scheduled maintenance. A consistent maintenance plan helps preserve the integrity of your roof, ensures warranty compliance, and minimizes long-term expenses. Annual inspections are recommended, especially for roofs older than five years.

Key Functions of Routine Maintenance:

 
Helps delay the need for full replacement

 
Prevents structural issues caused by minor damage


Supports energy efficiency through insulation performance

 
Maintains eligibility for manufacturer warranties

The Role of Maintenance in Roof Lifecycle Management

Roof systems deteriorate over time due to weather, age, and material fatigue. Without ongoing inspections and minor repairs, small issues may lead to widespread failures, water intrusion, and voided warranties.

Considerations

 Preventative maintenance is 4x more cost-effective than emergency repair

 Major manufacturers require maintenance to keep warranties valid

 Inspection and cleaning reduce strain on HVAC systems and prevent water pooling

Each roof has a unique condition and set of needs. Equity Roofing follows a structured three-step process:
