It is just a little wind. Most commercial business owners will hear the wind pick up outside and never give it a second thought! Commercial Owners need to be aware that any time the wind picks up outside, your commercial roof is taking the brunt force of it. Yes, that structure above your head can be seriously affected when the wind picks up it could cause the roof system to fail.
It does not take much wind to cause significant damage to flat commercial roof systems. In fact, a 40 mph to 50 mph wind can pull off loose fascia and edge flashing. The stronger the wind and older the roof, the more likelihood that some damage may occur. Periodic Roof Inspections should be done right after strong windstorms. This helps commercial owners spot roof issues and address them quickly.
Next time that you hear the wind banging against the office window, do not just shrug your shoulders about it. Have your roof system inspected to ensure no damage has occurred.

Instead, use them as a wakeup call to guide you to the next steps.
Commercial roof warning signs of water damage
You may not often think about it, but your commercial roof is one of the most vital parts of your business. After all, it covers and protects everything else. Therefore, you must deal with any minor issues before they become major headaches. Knowing what to look for is the key to avoiding a costly crisis with your commercial roof. Here are 3 signs of damage to look for.
1. Punctures in your roof, gaps in seams and failed flashing
2. Bubbles or blisters on the roof surface
3. Ceilings that have become stained, peeling or bowed
Experts suggest that you should have your commercial roof inspected at least twice a year. Have an inspection completed once in the spring, to evaluate any damage done over the harsh winter months. Then again in the fall, to ensure your roof is prepared for anything Mother Nature may throw in its path.
Discovering that your roof is leaking or that your windshield wipers don’t work in a heavy downpour is no fun! Here are five ways you can prepare now for the rains to come:
Clean and repair gutters, downspouts and roofs – Clogged rain gutters can cause rainwater to back up and damage your roof.
Keep storm drains clear in your area – Pick up trash you see around your business/community.
Maintain your car – Make sure your windshield wipers are in good working condition and tire treads are at the proper depth.
Harvest the rain – Purchase a rain barrel and get it set up before the rains begin. It’s time to recognize that rainwater is a resource!
Sign up for Preventative Roof Maintenance – Having preventative maintenance keeps your roof in top shape, which means less maintenance or emergency work in the long run
It is wise to be prepared for any rain that may come our way. Getting ready now will help to keep your property safe now and in the future. Put these five tips into practice, and you’ll be ready when those raindrops start to fall.

On another note… The pictures below are of a local commercial roof we finished just recently. This bright-white roof meets California Title 24 reflective roof requirements and Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency and savings. The type of coating used to coat this existing Built-up roof is versatile and can save you up to 30% in energy costs yearly. It can be applied over BUR, Modified Bitumen, Single Ply, Spray Foam, and Metal roofs. There is no need to tear off or remove your current roof which means less waste in our landfills. Another eco-awesome benefit of this coating? It is non-flammable and odorless. Could it get any better? Yes. Read up a little more on the benefits of coating your roof with an Elastomeric Coating.
