Commercial Roof Maintenance:
With any roof, the primary cause of premature failure is a lack of commercial roof maintenance. There is a saying in the construction industry, “roofs account for only 10% of construction costs but 90% of the potential problems down the road”. A small roof leak can have a trickle-down effect in terms of physical damage, loss of business, and overall negative productivity. Not only does the water cause damage to the roof system but it can damage the usable space of the building; including drywall, ceiling tiles, and even expensive equipment. Moreover, a simple leak can cause a reduction in employee productivity and customer satisfaction.
It is viable that commercial business owners take a proactive stance on roof maintenance rather than reactive. Progressive Roofing’s comprehensive preventive maintenance plan backed by an easy-to-use browser-based interface makes roof maintenance easy so business owners can concentrate on their core functions.
No Maintenance
what does the data say?80%
of all roofs fail prematurely due to lack of maintenance. Regular maintenance costs $0.11 per foot less over the lifecycle of the roof.
Maintenance Plan
how much can it save?18%
” Depending on the facility’s current maintenance practices, present equipment reliability, and facility downtime, there is little doubt that many facilities purely reliant on reactive maintenance could save much more than 18% by instituting a proper preventive maintenance program.” -The U.S. Department of Energy
Proactive vs Reactive
which is better?Proactive
On average, roofs that are maintained proactively have an 8-year longer lifespan than roofs that are merely maintained reactively (as problems occur).
In the world of commercial roofing, proactive maintenance plays a crucial role in ensuring the longevity and performance of your roof. While many business owners may overlook the importance of regular maintenance, it is a key factor in preventing costly repairs and extending the lifespan of your commercial roof.
Commercial roofs are subjected to harsh weather conditions, UV radiation, and other external factors that can cause wear and tear over time. Without proper maintenance, small issues such as leaks or damaged shingles can quickly escalate into major problems that require extensive repairs or even roof replacement.

CMS regulations require that all physical plants of healthcare facilities be maintained to ensure the safety and well-being of patients.
Maintaining the physical plant of healthcare facilities is essential to provide optimal patient care. The facility’s roof protects all other systems from the elements and is imperative to maintain.
Moreover, the roofing system holds the facility’s ventilation and HVAC systems. In compliance with Joint Commission rules, these systems are checked more frequently than in other industries (EC.02.05.01). This extra foot traffic by other trades on the roofing membrane can cause damage and thus a more proactive approach is warranted.

In addition, Progressive Roofing’s many branches belong to purchasing cooperatives. These purchasing organizations allow school administrators to complete maintenance projects quickly without duplicating the bid process. This option is imperative for school systems that do not have a large purchasing department as well as allowing ones that do to save valuable time and resources. Noise in the Classroom
For any business, the main goal is to make a profit. Reducing preventable overhead is imperative for success. Neglecting a building’s roof will lead to unnecessary costs that will exponentially grow. This negative growth is not only a repair cost but can also cause premature depreciation of the property.
For example, if you are a retailer and have a roof leak that has gone unresolved it may cause damage to the property, inventory shrink, and negative retail metrics.
We currently work with many national retailers, corporations, and REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) throughout the country.
