Roof Impact
|
A roof’s primary goal is to keep water out of the building, and the obvious secondary things include resistance to fire and wind. But building owners in Colorado and Wyoming might move hail damage to the top of the list. |
Four Steps to a Maintenance Free Roof
Most building owners think about their roof only when there's a problem—usually a leak. By that time, water has already caused damage to valuable merchandise, slowed production, and/or caused a slip-and-fall accident. Once the damage is done, all the building owner can do is call a roofing contractor and get the roof repaired.
Though no roof is maintenance free, taking these four steps can reduce life-cycle costs.
