What are the legal parameters for a building owner to have a roofing maintenance program?

The legal parameters for a building owner to have a roofing maintenance program are multifaceted. Firstly, it's important to understand that a roofing maintenance program is a proactive approach to managing roofing expenses. It's a cost-effective alternative to reactive measures such as repairs or replacements, which can be significantly more expensive. A key component of a roofing maintenance program is the Preventive Roof Maintenance (PRM) offered by PRI. This program provides a more comprehensive coverage than typical roofing system warranties, which only become active when a leak occurs and do not cover potential damage to other assembly components. The PRM program includes a thorough audit of the roof's condition by a seasoned roof auditor, who then provides a detailed report and photographs of the current state of the roof. This report will highlight any necessary maintenance measures, and if the repair proposal is satisfactory, a PRI maintenance member will commence the required work. A roofing maintenance contract can offer numerous benefits to the building owner. It can help identify major issues before they cause significant damage, potentially extending the roof's lifespan by up to 50 percent. It can also increase the property's value, allow for roof customization, and provide cost estimates for any necessary repairs.
