As a building owner, waiting for adverse weather events to reveal roof issues is not the most ideal approach. Implementing a proactive annual or semi-annual preventative maintenance program can significantly enhance the longevity of your commercial roof. By identifying and addressing minor problems early on, you can prevent them from escalating into major concerns.

Our preventive maintenance program, conducted by our seasoned experts, adheres to a well-established roof inspection checklist. This meticulous process allows us to diagnose and resolve common roofing and guttering issues efficiently. Some of the key aspects covered under our roof maintenance plan include:

  • Built-up roofing inspection: We assess the condition of your built-up roof, which may involve examining the presence of gravel and evaluating its effectiveness.
  • Modified bitumen membrane evaluation: Our experts inspect and analyze the modified bitumen membrane to ensure it is in optimal condition.
  • Flat roof composition assessment: We thoroughly examine the composition of your flat roof, addressing any concerns related to its materials and structure.
  • Roof membrane types examination: Our team checks the type of roof membrane used, identifying any areas that may require attention.
  • Repairing and refilling penetration flashings: We take care of penetration flashings like pitch pans, ensuring they are in proper working condition.
  • Maintenance of drainage outlets: To restore efficient water drainage, we remove debris from roof fields and drainage outlets, including gutters and roof drains.
  • Wall flashings inspection: We evaluate open wall flashings to preempt potential water entry points and perform resealing as necessary.
  • Repair of metal flashing components: Any deteriorated caulking or issues with metal flashing components are promptly addressed to maintain the integrity of your roof.
  • Protective coating and aggregate surfacing: When needed, we apply protective coatings or aggregate surfacing to safeguard your roof surface, ultimately extending its lifespan.

Investing in regular roof inspections, maintenance, and repairs through Highland Roofing can ensure that your roof remains in optimal working condition. This proactive approach helps you avoid the expenses and disruptions associated with roof replacement. If you’re concerned about the state of your roof, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a thorough evaluation and maintenance plan tailored to your needs, call us.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
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.
• 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)
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.
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.
Expect higher leak risk, potential warranty issues, faster aging of details (sealants/flashings), and increased chance of blocked drains/ponding.
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.
Yes—letters and reminders go out, particularly as roofs near the end of their maintainable life. Record-keeping matters; keep your inspection reports.
