Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a commercial roof be inspected in Louisville?

Twice per year—ideally March–April and October–late November. Spring inspections catch winter damage (ice/snow), and fall inspections clear drains/debris and prep for winter.

Does preventative maintenance extend roof warranties?

Maintenance doesn’t “extend” a warranty, but most manufacturer warranties require at least one documented inspection per year. If owners can’t show proof (invoices/reports), manufacturers may void the warranty.

What’s included in Highland Roofing’s maintenance program?

• Roof cleaning (blow off debris)
• Clear all drains/outlets
• Visual inspection of roof and details
• Replace aging sealants/caulks at penetrations (e.g., HVAC/electrical/condensate lines) as part of the visit
• Report with any additional repairs recommended (especially on older roofs)

How do I know when it’s time to replace my roof?

It depends less on age and more on risk exposure (what’s under the roof) and recent winters. Sensitive interiors (e.g., offices, utilities, schools) should consider replacement earlier than warehouses with low sensitivity to occasional leaks.

What is “ponding water” and why is it dangerous?

Ponding is standing water caused by clogged or restricted drains. It can lead to leaks and, on older buildings without overflow drains, even structural risk if water weight builds up.

What happens if I skip maintenance for a year or two?

Expect higher leak risk, potential warranty issues, faster aging of details (sealants/flashings), and increased chance of blocked drains/ponding.

How far out is Highland typically booked?

A 2–3 month backlog is ideal, but schedules flex for the right project. After prolonged dry spells, bidding gets more competitive; heavy rain events increase service demand.

Do you proactively remind customers about inspections/warranty needs?

Yes—letters and reminders go out, particularly as roofs near the end of their maintainable life. Record-keeping matters; keep your inspection reports.
