How can I reduce maintenance costs on my commercial roof?

The fastest way to reduce commercial roofing costs is to stop expensive problems before they start. Here’s how:

• Schedule inspections twice a year
  Have a professional inspect your roof every spring and fall—and after major storms. This catches small issues early.

• Clean gutters and drains
  Clogged drainage leads to ponding water, which damages roofing membranes and insulation.

• Fix small problems immediately
  Don’t wait. A tiny leak today could mean interior water damage tomorrow.

• Use reflective coatings
  Coatings reduce UV damage and lower cooling costs in hot Florida cities like Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami.

• Consider a roof management plan
  Roof Nuts offers customized plans that track roof condition and plan budgets. Fewer surprises. Lower ownership costs.

Why is commercial roof maintenance important in Florida?

Florida’s heat, rain, and hurricanes make regular maintenance critical. Flat and low-slope commercial roofs in places like Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Cape Coral face:

• UV degradation

• Ponding water

• Wind-driven rain

• Drain blockages

• Hidden leaks

Routine care helps your roof meet or exceed its expected lifespan and protects your business assets.

What’s included in a commercial roof inspection?

A full inspection from Roof Nuts checks:

• Roof membrane condition (cracks, blisters, punctures)

• Flashings, seams, and penetrations

• Signs of ponding water

• Drain and scupper function

• Perimeter edge integrity

• Condition of rooftop HVAC supports and accessories

Detailed photos and a condition report are provided.

How often should I recoat my commercial roof?

In Florida’s sun-heavy climate, most commercial roofs benefit from recoating every 5–10 years. Reflective coatings help by:

• Reducing rooftop temperatures

• Extending membrane life

• Lowering energy costs

• Adding waterproofing protection

Roof Nuts can evaluate if your roof qualifies for a coating system or if repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
