Offers Roof Inspections In Phoenix, AZ

Out of Sight Out of Mind... We really only think about our commercial roofs when it rains!

Roof systems are compromised by everything that penetrates the surface, attaches to the surface and even debris that can accumulate on them. But the biggest issue is lack of proper roof inspections. A small problem if not caught early can develop into a large and expensive problem.

As stated by Mike Russo, editor of Roofing Solutions Magazine, “An out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude toward roofing systems is dangerous. Too many owners and managers have been burned by premature roof failures. With bottom-line profitability so important, corporate executives who are looking long-term can squeeze more money out of their commercial roofs”.

What is the difference between a roof inspection and a roof estimate.

Sometimes I feel like a lone wolf out in the roofing wilderness, trying to get property owners to understand the difference between the two - roof inspection and roof estimates. When you do have issues the first inclination is to call a roofing contractor, who is all too eager to “jump on your roof” and provide you with an estimate for an expensive new roof.

Roof Estimate: Is exactly that; an estimate to replace your roof or repair your roof. In most cases the roofing contractor wants to remove your existing roof and sell you a new roof.

Roof Inspection: Is usually performed by a certified roof inspector, roof consultant or roofing contractor. After the roof inspection, a detailed report is provided usually with pictures of your roof and current or future problems. Plus, they will provide you options, from roof cleaning, roof maintenance, simple roof repairs; roof restoration or even they may recommend a complete roof replacement. (That is why it is important to have annual roof inspections to avoid costly and premature roof replacements.)
