Why it's Important to Maintain Your Roof
The wellbeing of your business and those it protects is important to us. That’s why New View Roofing offers yearly roof maintenance programs to identify potential sources of future problems. Our comprehensive maintenance program includes:

- Affordability. Our maintenance program is designed to provide a cost-conscious approach to ongoing roof maintenance.
What Kind of Maintenance Do Commercial Roofs Need?
Different roofing materials need different types of maintenance. However, maintaining your roof may help extend its service life and reduce long-term repair costs – and it will make you aware when your roof has issues that need to be repaired. When you know about problems early, you can take steps to fix them and avoid more costly repairs (and even put off a commercial roof replacement for longer).
General commercial roof maintenance helps your roof last longer, and it includes things like:
- Twigs, leaves and even rocks can make their way up on your commercial roof, and all of those things can cause significant damage. Loose materials can also prevent water from draining from your roof properly, which will deteriorate your roofing materials.
- Checks on roof equipment. The equipment on your commercial roof, whether it’s an air conditioning unit, a chimney, skylights or something else, all needs to be working properly to protect your roofing materials.
- Removing snow. If you have a flat roof, you’ll want to remove snow in some instances. (However, in many cases, the snow melts and drains away without posing a problem.)
- Removal of algae, moss and mold growths. Algae, moss and mold can cause significant damage and degradation to your roof, which means removing it should always be part of routine roof maintenance.
However, different roofing types require different types of maintenance and check-ups. The following table outlines common items that need to be checked regularly on different commercial roof materials. On all roofs, a professional inspector will check the flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents and other hardware, as well as the fasteners that hold the roofing materials in place.

Should You Hire Someone to Maintain Your Roof?
For most commercial building owners, hiring someone to maintain the roof is a simple choice. HiHiring a team of professionals can help identify maintenance needs and support informed decisions about roof care over time – and it keeps you on the safe, solid ground. Commercial roof maintenance is different from residential roof maintenance, partly because the materials are different. Although many building owners are familiar with the types of roofing materials they have, maintenance can be difficult and time-consuming, which means it’s often better to hire someone to handle the job.

How Often Do Commercial Buildings Need Roof Repairs?
You should have your roof inspected at least once a year, and that’s something we handle with our roof maintenance packages. You should also have it inspected after any major storm, or when you see debris on your roof that may have led to damage.
All roofs have different lifespans. Some materials last far longer than others do – and sometimes, the quality of the workmanship plays a role in how often a roof needs repairs. The bottom line is that it depends on the quality of the materials and the workmanship.
However, even with high-quality materials and top-notch workmanship, natural disasters, storms, high winds and fallen trees can wreak havoc on your roof. Unfortunately, there’s no way to predict when – or how often – outside factors will damage your roof and create a situation that you need to repair.
You should always be on the lookout for roof damage from the inside of your building, as well as conduct visual inspections from the ground if possible. When you’re indoors, check for water spots on the ceiling – those are a telltale sign that there’s a leak present. Leaks need to be addressed immediately, because they never get better with time. Other signs that your roof needs some maintenance include:
- High humidity indoors
- Skyrocketing energy costs, even when your usage has remained the same
- The presence of mold in your building
- Dark or dirty-looking spots you can see outside
- Frost in areas above ceiling tiles
- Rusted gutters
