Just like any important piece of equipment you hope to keep running for as long as possible, your commercial roof system should be periodically inspected and serviced. Studies show that roofs that are regularly maintained by a professional typically last many years longer than those that are neglected, and many warranties require regular servicing.
First Class Roofing is Middletown, Ohio’s premier commercial roofing contractor, specializing in the entire range of roofing services, including comprehensive roof inspections. Industry standards recommend having your roof inspected at least twice a year, usually in the spring and fall. Inspections are also a good idea after any major weather event.
