Just like a residential roof, a commercial roof needs periodic maintenance from professional Centennial roofers to unlock its full potential and provide adequate protection for as long as possible.

Although largely ignored, roof maintenance is actually a chance for building mangers to detect smaller problems before they turn into disasters and keep the structure safe.

Maintenance operations require some time and resources, but they are affordable and really worth every penny due to the long-term benefits they provide:

· Maintenance maximizes the service life of a commercial roof

Average commercial roofing systems are designed to last 15-20 years, but the lack of regular maintenance will reduce their life span to 10-15 years, because of premature wear and undetected problems that make a roof vulnerable.

· Roof maintenance also protects the interior of the building

When a roof starts to leak, there will not be only water infiltrations in the attic, but also in the rest of the building, negatively impacting day-to-day operations as well as the indoor comfort and energy efficiency.

· Maintenance operations reduce liability

Unstable roofs not only cause property damage and structural problems, but also safety hazards. Commercial roofs are flat and most of them allow traffic, especially that they typically store equipment (HVAC systems, solar panels etc.). Overflows can make them slippery thus very unsafe to be walked on.
