Roof is a huge investment, so installing a new roof and forgetting about it could be a mistake. For roofs to perform well, they have to be maintained, with scheduled periodic inspections and repairs. Building owners and facility managers must consider roof life-cycle management to obtain the best value for a roof. This means managing the roof as an asset, just as other types of investments in the building with a roof maintenance plan of scheduled inspections and repairs. This would prevent unscheduled capital expenditures due to roofing repairs. Otherwise, your property could be at risk of damage from leaks, not to mention the risk of your warranty coverage being jeopardized.
Recommended inspections take place twice a year, and after a heavy rainstorm, wind, or snow storm. Scheduled inspections are usually done before the spring and fall seasons. Scanning for moisture and inspecting the roof for water infiltration should be done at least once a year.
Making repairs and maintaining the roof are necessary to preserve the life of the roof, and are also required conditions for warranty purposes. From preserving historic building roofs to restoring existing roofs, we have an experienced team of roof mechanics that are trained with specialized skills to do the job, and thereby extending your roof life expectancy.
After repairs to an existing roof, roof restoration/recovery could be a viable option as a cost-effective alternative to replacing the roof, depending on the age of the roof, as this would avoid the removal and disposal of the existing roofing system materials, commonly known as a tear-off. The sustainability aspect of restoration/recovery means reduced cost for adequate protection while minimizing materials ending up in a landfill. We promote green construction and sustainable building processes as much as possible and use products that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient.
There are different types of restoration, depending on the roof material and it existing condition. IME Construction is proud to say that we are the “Roof Restoration Experts.” We can adequately restore metal roofs, built-up roofs, modified bitumen roofs, single ply roofs, cool roofs, and roofs protected with gravel. Please contact us for specific preservation and restoration methods.
