Maintenance Programs
AVAILABLE MAINTENANCE ROOFING PROGRAMS IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
Providing a Roof Maintenance Program (RMP)
to our customers is not only essential to our business, but it brings value to our customer relationship. The most common reason for premature roof failure is lack of maintenance. A conscientious and consistent program of scheduled preventative maintenance to each roof component will maximize useful life
of the entire roof system. This program includes regular inspections of the roofing system. Standard roof industry recommendations as established by the NRCA are to make thorough inspections of the entire roof at least in the spring and fall, and after serious weather trauma. Capital expenditures on new or re-roofing receive maximum value anytime a roof membrane can experience its full useful life expectancy. Owners that understand this appreciate the value of a structured roof maintenance program.
No single maintenance program can satisfy all customers' needs. Our programs are designed to provide a range of service options. The RMP-Basic Plan offers an inspection with
a roof condition report. This plan is restricted to a one-year renewable term offering minimum service to keep an owner or facility manager apprised of their roof condition. During the inspection
small debris and trash will be removed. For customers requiring added maintenance protection
an RMP-Preferred Plan is available. Services at this level offer semi-annual inspections with roof condition reports that include a five-year budget. Small debris and trash are removed, splits and blisters are repaired, and a free service is included for roof leaks. The highest level of service is the RMP-Premiere Plan. Customers contracted at the premier level receive all the services previously mentioned with the option to add two additional inspections per year. Additionally, they receive a comprehensive condition report with roof drawings, photographs, and a roof asset management account (RAMCO). Flexibility exists within each of these programs to meet specific customer needs. What is not flexible, however, is providing an RMP on a roof system that is in poor condition. This can only lead to an unsatisfied customer having expectations beyond the ability of the program to satisfy.
Owners and facility managers often neglect annual maintenance due to the roof system being under a manufacturer's guarantee (warranty). Some guarantees may only cover material. All major manufacturers' guarantees that cover labor and material require owners to perform inspections and maintenance to maintain their coverage. This is no different than an automobile manufacturer's warranty requiring scheduled maintenance so as to not void the warranty. As the Building Owner, you also have a responsibility, which is to provide necessary maintenance of your roofing system and related building components. Failure to provide necessary maintenance may result in deterioration of your guaranteed roofing system that could otherwise have been avoided. Repair of such deterioration will not be covered by your guarantee. In certain instances, such deterioration may be so extensive that the roofing system can no longer be repaired and maintained, resulting in the cancellation of your guarantee in whole or in part. Owners usually are unaware of their responsibility required to keep the warranty or guarantee in force. We must educate our customers of their responsibility if their roof system has a manufacturer's guarantee. Then, offer the RMP that meets the manufacturer's requirements. Become knowledgeable of manufacturer's guarantees with respect to the owner's responsibility.
