Roofing Maintenance

There are very few aspects of building or property health that are more important than its roof. And one of the biggest problems with proper roof care is that it tends to be out of sight and out of mind. When there is a problem with doors, walls, or floors, you see it every day. You watch as it grows worse over time. 

When there is a roof problem, people tend not to realize it until it has already become a significant issue. With that in mind, many folks still aren’t aware of the numerous options they have when it comes to their building’s roof. We here at Sutter Roofing wanted to offer a quick reference guide with pros and cons for a few different common types of commercial roofs:

Flat Roof:


Pro: Cost-efficient and easy installation.

Con: Slower drainage. 

Low Slope:

Better drainage, less squared roof area, easier maintenance, and repair.

Con: Heavy snowfall adds weight to the roof.

Pitched Roofs:


Pro: Increased runoff reduces the risk of water damage and mold.

Con: More difficult to repair and perform maintenance on.

So if you need help figuring out exactly which commercial roofing type is right for you and your building, give the helpful experts at Sutter Roofing a call today. We would be more than glad to discuss your situation with you, as well as offer helpful suggestions and even come out and inspect it ourselves to give you a truly qualified opinion. 

You can reach us at 800-741-0090. You can also come by and visit us in person to go over your roofing needs. Our address is 8284 Vico Court in Sarasota, FL 34240. Don’t wait until that minor issue becomes a major one, we can get you squared away in no time!

Sutter Roofing believes a key part of any company budget should be a line item for roof maintenance. Why is this important? There is no quicker way to lose productivity than to have roof leaks appear. Water can damage the building, destroy inventory, or cause equipment damage. If you have not planned a roof maintenance program or even a roof restoration into your 2020 budget it is not too late.

Every roof has a useful life, particularly in the harsh Florida climate. Hot weather, many days of intense sunlight, and torrential rains during the rainy season or tropical storms all take their toll on a roof. If you aren’t keeping up with the normal aging of your roof, and taking steps to manage small problems, you are accelerating the end of your roof’s useful life.

Ideally, commercial roofs should be inspected at least twice each year, before the summer storm season and afterward to assess whether any damage has occurred. If you have a relatively new roof it may be under warranty; that warranty normally spells out specific requirements for regular inspections to keep the roof under warranty protection.

If you have not used Sutter Roofing for your maintenance program, the first thing we will perform is a thorough initial inspection program. This will document the current state of your roof along with recommendations to resolve any issues we find. We cannot provide warranty protection for any roof we did not install, but we can take over your regular maintenance program and you will be protected by our professional and highly trained personnel.

Don’t let a deteriorating roof slow or shut down your business. Contact Sutter Roofing today at 800-741-0090 and let us set up a roof maintenance program for you. We have offices throughout Florida and cover most areas of the state. We have installed over 60 million square feet of commercial roofing and are ready to meet your roofing needs!

Before calling a roofing contractor to perform an inspection on your property, it’s best practice to know what they’ll be looking for (and how) beforehand, and to even perform the some of the inspection yourself, if possible. The reasons for this are twofold: first, it gives you a full scope of what jobs can be performed and what areas need routine maintenance. Second, it shows you what jobs you can perform yourself, assuming you have the experience and tools, allowing you to work those jobs into your regular maintenance. Here’s a brief look at what professional roofing contractors will look for in an inspection.
