What we cover

If your roof can fail, we can fix it.

A commercial roof maintenance program is the cheapest way to make a commercial roof last longer, hold its warranty, and avoid surprise capital expenses. Roof Experts maintains TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and standing seam metal roofs across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and our 4-state service area.


What’s Included in Our Maintenance Program

🔎 Bi-Annual Inspections

Walked + drone inspection in spring (post-winter) and fall (pre-winter). Every penetration, drain, scupper, seam, edge metal, and flashing documented with date-stamped photos. Written report within 48 hours.

⛈️ Post-Storm Inspections

After major weather — hail, high wind, tornado, ice storm — we inspect every roof on the program at no extra charge. Carriers require documentation within 30 days; we deliver in 5–7 business days.

🚰 Drain & Scupper Clearing

Blocked drains are the #1 cause of premature commercial roof failure in DFW. Pollen, leaves, and HVAC debris clog drains, creating ponding water that voids manufacturer warranties.

🛠️ Minor Repair Allowance

Each visit includes 2–4 hours of patch work — seam repairs, sealant refresh on penetrations, small membrane patches. Larger repairs at discounted maintenance-customer rates.

🚨 Priority Emergency Response

Maintenance customers get 24-hour response on active leaks — crew on the roof within hours. Critical for buildings with tenants, retail, or sensitive equipment.

📄 Warranty Documentation

Digital file for every building — inspection reports, photos, repair logs, warranty documents. Most NDL warranties have annual inspection requirements; we handle the paperwork.


Why a Maintenance Program Pays For Itself

  • 30–40% longer roof life — NRCA, RoofPoint, FM Approvals studies all show maintained roofs last 30–40% longer. On a $250K roof, that’s $75K–$100K of deferred capital expense.
  • Manufacturer warranties stay valid — Most TPO/EPDM/PVC NDL warranties require documented annual inspections. Skip them and the warranty walks.
  • Smaller repairs, not big ones — A $300 seam patch caught at inspection prevents a $30,000 wet-insulation tear-out 18 months later.
  • Predictable budget — Known annual line item, not surprise capital expense requests every 2–3 years.
  • Documentation for due diligence — If you sell or refinance, our maintenance log is hard evidence of roof condition for buyers and lenders.
  • Tenant retention — Active leaks above retail or office tenants damage product AND lease renewals.

  • EPDM — Seam, flashing, membrane shrinkage inspection. Sealant refresh on penetrations.
  • PVC — Heat-welded seam integrity check, chemical exposure assessment.
  • Modified bitumen & BUR — Surface granule loss, blistering, alligator cracking, ponding.
  • Standing seam metal — Fastener integrity, sealant refresh on penetrations, gutter clearing.
  • Coatings — Acrylic, silicone, polyurethane. Recoat inspection and scheduling.

Maintenance Program Pricing

Per square foot of roof, with discounts for multi-building portfolios and multi-year contracts:

  • Basic plan (1 inspection + drain clearing): $0.08–$0.12/sq ft/year
  • Standard plan (2 inspections + drain clearing + minor repair allowance): $0.15–$0.22/sq ft/year
  • Comprehensive plan (2 inspections + post-storm + drain clearing + repair allowance + emergency response): $0.25–$0.35/sq ft/year
  • Per-building minimum: $750/year

For a 100,000 sq ft warehouse on the standard plan, that’s $15,000–$22,000/year — versus a single major repair often running $40,000+ when problems aren’t caught early.


What an Inspection Looks Like

  1. Aerial drone scan — high-resolution overview identifying issues a walked-only inspection might miss.
  2. Walked inspection — every penetration, drain, scupper, edge metal, coping, flashing, seam photographed.
  3. Moisture survey (if requested) — infrared thermal imaging to detect wet insulation.
  4. Drain & scupper clearing — included in every inspection.
  5. Minor repair allowance work — sealant refresh, small patches, debris removal.
  6. Written report — delivered within 48 hours with photos, severity ratings, recommended actions.
  7. Owner/PM walkthrough — optional 15-minute call to review findings.

The audit trail your manufacturer warranty depends on

Most NDL manufacturer warranties — GAF, Carlisle, Elevate, IKO among them — require documented annual inspections and repairs by a certified contractor. Without those records a manufacturer can deny a claim on a roof that is otherwise squarely inside its coverage period. The program exists to produce the documentation those warranties ask for, in the format they ask for it, so the coverage you already paid for is still there when you need it.

clock

Scheduled inspections, plus the ones weather forces

Bi-annual inspections catch the seasonal failures — winter splits, summer membrane movement, blocked drains before the spring storms. Post-storm inspections cover the rest. Across our markets that matters more than owners expect: Denton County's hail season peaks in March, Lubbock's in May, Tulsa's is 48 percent concentrated in a single month, and the Denver metro averages nearly 13 hail days a year. We inspect against the calendar your building actually sits in.

Drains and scuppers cleared before they matter

Standing water is the most common avoidable cause of premature commercial roof failure, and the cause is usually a blocked drain or scupper rather than the membrane. Clearing them is unglamorous, cheap and on every visit. On buildings with parapets it is also a code question — St. Louis, for one, sets specific requirements for secondary overflow drains and scuppers, including inlet height and a prohibition on tying overflow into the primary drain lines.

Roofs we did not install, which is most of them

About 70 percent of the buildings on our maintenance program have roofs installed by other contractors. We start with an initial condition assessment that establishes where the roof genuinely is in its life cycle, then build a plan that fits that reality rather than one that assumes a replacement is coming. Taking over someone else's roof is the normal case here, not the exception.

Written reports with severity ratings, not sales pressure

Every inspection produces a written report with severity ratings, repair scope and pricing, so you can triage rather than react. Maintenance customers get a discounted rate on repairs that come out of it. What we will not do is use an inspection as a sales tool — if a roof has five years of life left, the report says it has five years of life left, and that is worth more to you than a replacement quote.

Contract terms that match how long you are holding the building

Standard contracts run 1, 3 or 5 years. Multi-year contracts include rate locks with no annual increases and a 10 to 20 percent discount. A single-year contract is the right answer for a building you are evaluating selling or replacing soon, and we will tell you that rather than pushing the longer term. The program should fit your hold period, not ours.

Commercial Roof Maintenance FAQ

Common questions about this service.

Don't see your question? Call us at (469) 936-7663 — we're happy to talk it through.

Is annual maintenance really required for my warranty? +

Most NDL, or No Dollar Limit, manufacturer warranties — GAF, Carlisle, Elevate, IKO — require documented annual inspections and repairs by a certified contractor. Without those records, manufacturers can deny claims. Our maintenance program creates the audit trail manufacturers want to see, which is frequently the difference between a covered repair and an argument.

What's the difference between maintenance and repair? +

Maintenance is preventive — inspections, drain clearing, sealant refresh, minor patches. Repair is reactive — fixing damage that is already there. The cheapest building to own is one where maintenance catches problems before they become repairs, and the most expensive is one where an unmaintained roof fails at 60 to 70 percent of its expected service life.

Can you maintain a roof you didn't install? +

Yes. About 70 percent of buildings on our maintenance program have roofs installed by other contractors. We do an initial condition assessment and develop a maintenance plan that fits where the roof is in its life cycle. Taking on another contractor's roof is the normal case for us, not an exception we make grudgingly.

How long are maintenance contracts? +

Standard contracts are 1, 3 or 5 years. Multi-year contracts include rate locks — no annual increases — and 10 to 20 percent discounts. Single-year contracts are fine for buildings you are evaluating selling or replacing soon, and we would rather put you on the term that matches your hold period than the one that looks better on our books.

What if you find major problems during inspection? +

You get a written report with severity ratings, repair scope and pricing. Maintenance customers get a discounted rate on repairs. We never use inspections as a sales tool — if a roof has five years of life left, we will tell you that. An inspection report that always concludes with a replacement quote is a sales document, not an inspection.

How often will you actually be on the roof? +

Bi-annual scheduled inspections at minimum, plus post-storm inspections after significant weather. The seasonal timing follows the market your building is in rather than a single national calendar — Denton County's hail peaks in March, Lubbock's in May and June, Tulsa concentrates nearly half its hail reports in May, and the Denver metro averages close to 13 hail days a year across its five counties.

What does the program actually cover versus what gets billed separately? +

The scheduled inspections, drain and scupper clearing, sealant refresh, the minor repair allowance and warranty documentation are inside the program, along with priority emergency response. Work beyond the repair allowance is quoted separately at the maintenance-customer rate, from the same written report with its severity ratings — so you see the scope and the price before anything is authorized.

Is a maintenance program worth it on an older roof? +

Often, but not always, and we will give you the straight answer. On a roof with meaningful service life left, maintenance reliably extends it and protects the manufacturer warranty. On a roof that is genuinely at the end of its life, a program is money spent deferring an inevitable replacement, and the honest recommendation is to budget for the replacement instead. The initial condition assessment is what tells us which situation you are in.
