February 19, 2021 Scott Patnode

If you have asphalt shingle roofing, there is a possibility that your shingles might get blown off in the wind during an extreme weather event. However, take note that blow-offs do not only happen in older roofs; even newly installed roofs are not completely safe from such an occurrence.

Commercial Roof Management: Best Practices

February 5, 2021 Scott Patnode

If there’s one advice that roofing professionals can give you, it would probably be to never skimp on roof maintenance. The costs of maintaining a commercial roof can be significant. But with your investment in proper roof management, you can avoid several roofing issues and even more expensive repairs.

In this post, trusted roof service company Fields Roof Service shares some of the best practices for commercial roof management.

Create a Plan for Your Property

What do you plan to do with your property in the future? Your answer to this question will help you draw up an appropriate commercial roof maintenance plan. For instance, if you are keen on renovating the building in a few years time or selling the property after a decade, your roof maintenance program should fit those goals. Furthermore, let your contractor know about such goals so that they can tailor-fit a commercial roof management plan.

Keep a Record of Your Roofing’s History

Make sure that you have a record of the past roof repair jobs and maintenance done on your commercial roof. Such documents can prove to be quite helpful, especially if you need to check details such as the date of roof installation, the name of the roof installer, the roof manufacturer, and so on. You should also include warranty information and maintenance records and pictures in your roofing history record. If there are any issues in your roofing over the past years, you should also make it a point to log these in your roofing record.

Take Note of the Contents of the Building

Make sure that you are aware of the contents of the building. Of course, if you have big-ticket items such as computers or other kinds of machinery, you would want these things to be adequately protected against the elements. That said, you should have the right roofing solution and an appropriate maintenance program to ensure that such items are safe from harm.

What Is Shingle Cupping and How Do You Prevent It?

November 16, 2020 Scott Patnode

One of the most common roofing systems found on American homes is asphalt shingles. It’s a popular option thanks to its stylish looks, affordable pricing, and ease of installation. You can get so much out of it with the price you pay as long as you properly maintain it to prevent a serious issue such as a roof leak from occurring. However, as your roof ages, it can appear concave or capped. This is what is known as shingle cupping which causes your roof to become brittle as it’s exposed to the elements.

Testimonials

Fields Roof Service is the BEST - from the first phone call to the last shingle! I got 3 bids. One was far below Fields, but I didn't feel confident that they would do the job correctly, and the other one was about the same as Fields. But I chose Fields because Jason was so knowledgeable. I felt that the job would be done right. He was organized and took care of every little detail. And the crew who worked on my roof were great, too. The roof looks great, and I love my 2 new skylights in my living room. I highly recommend Fields Roof Service!!!

Steve came out to help us investigate a potential leak. He was not only thorough in checking for the leak (which he verified was not coming from the roof) but was also extremely friendly and gave us suggestions on where the leak could be coming from as well as general roofing tips. This was my first time working with them, and will be highly recommending them to my friends and coworkers. Thanks Steve!"
