Smart Roofing Strategies Help Retail, Restaurant Facility Owners Trim Costs For retail and restaurant facility owners, a proactive roofing maintenance strategy is essential to prevent costly issues down the line, says Bill Earl, director of roofing operation at MaintenX. “You just spent $200,000 on a roof. Preventive maintenance is about protecting that investment,” he explains. Many roofing issues are not caused by material failures but by external factors like mishandling equipment or damage from storm debris. Earl emphasizes that routine maintenance can prevent small problems from escalating into major repairs. For restaurants, where foot traffic on roofs is common, damage often comes from activities such as careless air-conditioning (AC) unit handling. Tampa, Fla.-based MaintenX helps mitigate this by installing walk pads around sensitive areas like HVAC systems. To help clients prepare for severe weather, MaintenX encourages pre-season inspections, especially in hurricane-prone regions like Florida. “Before hurricane season, we urge customers to secure loose materials like AC doors that could become hazards in storms,” says Earl. This proactive approach ensures that roofs are in optimal condition before extreme weather hits, reducing potential damage and costly repairs. https://lnkd.in/d9-zenGy Sponsored by MaintenX #preventativemaintenance #roofing #retail
