What Affects the Longevity of a Roof?

• Exposure to the elements and pollutants
• Plant and algae growth: animal invasions
• Structural settlement and expansion/contraction
• Inadequate building design, eg. poor drainage or flashing deficiencies
• Manufacture defects
• Delaying in the fixing of minor problem
• Changing the use of the building
• Not getting around to doing the roof  maintenance

Building inspections are carried out by our trained and experienced professional roofers. Grand Valley Roofing & Coatings Inc. works with the client to generate a list of elements to be checked on and around the roof and inside the building. A comprehensive report is provided profiling the state of the roof, future repair estimates and recommendations. While twice a year evaluations are recommended, they should also be considered after major weather events such as heavy rains, major winds and storms.

Every roof and roofing system is different. Therefore, every Maintenance Program Grand Valley Roofing & Coatings Inc.'s creates is designed for a specific roof. Grand Valley Roofing & Coatings Inc. begins with a list  of  common  elements  to which  items  are  added  and removed to reflect that specific roof. Common items on the list may include:

• All the services found in the Basic Program, plus
• Inspect roof edges, metal work, parapets, adjoining walls and curbs
• Inspect and locate damaged gas line supports (maximum of 8)
• Inspect and caulk and/or refasten all metal counter flashing details
• Check and repair minor issues with equipment pads and supports and roof penetrations (pipes and cones)
• Make small repairs to control and/or expansion joints
• Make small repairs to blisters, cracked membrane, crocodiling and punctures
• Report any issues to building management.
