Spring Roofing Alert: Spring Maintenance

Your roof is one of the building's most valuable assets. Not only does it protect the building, but it also safeguards all of your important occupants and valuable materials within your facility. Roofs are constantly under attack by changes in weather. Ohio's climate has a major effect on roof systems, the constant freezing and thawing causes the roof to expand and contract. Cotterman & Company Inc. recommends that an inspection and maintenance program be conducted after the fall months and spring. Due to the high volume of debris dispersed onto the roofs an inspection will help detect and solve minor problems before they become serious issues, avoiding interruptions within the building, and most importantly, protecting the owner's investment by adding years of life to the roof. Cotterman & Company has many roofing systems that provide a 15 or 20 year watertight manufactures warranty.

A good rule-of-thumb is to inspect and provide a maintenance program to your roof at least twice a year - once in the fall and again in the spring. To budget for your roof maintenance & competitive bids, building owners and property managers can e-mail Jon Plattner jplattner@cottermanroofing.com to schedule your free roof evaluation & report. (800)713-3190

What's growing on your roof?
A roof evaluation can prevent leaks that may be a result of gutters, drains and scupper boxes being filled with debris. These precautionary measures will prohibit water damage inside your facility, allowing continuous production inside.
