How does a commercial roof maintenance program prove to be a better option than actual replacement or repairs?

A commercial roof maintenance program, such as the PRI Preventive Roof Maintenance (PRM), offers a more cost-effective and proactive solution compared to actual roof replacement or repairs. This program provides protection against factors that could lead to interior leakage, which is not typically covered by roofing system warranties. Moreover, these warranties often only become active when a leak occurs, leaving building owners unprepared for such incidents. The PRM program includes a thorough audit of the roof's condition by a seasoned roof auditor, who then provides a detailed report and photos of the roof's current state. This allows for early detection and correction of potential issues, preventing major damage and costly repairs in the future. The program also covers damage caused by natural elements or human error, with a written report itemizing the costs. A roofing maintenance contract offers numerous benefits. It can increase a roof's lifespan by up to 50 percent, enhance a property's value, and allow for roof customization. It also provides owners with quotes for any necessary repairs, helping to reduce both short and long-term roofing costs. On average, a building owner can spend over $125,000 on a roof in a single lifetime, making a maintenance program a financially sound choice.
