Proper drainage is essential. We provide expert gutter installation, repair, and downspout maintenance to prevent water buildup and protect your roofing system.
Preserve structural integrity with our coping and metal flashing repairs. Our meticulous maintenance ensures weatherproofing and water intrusion prevention.
Protect your roof from grease and oil damage with our specialized grease guard installation services, ideal for commercial kitchens and industrial settings.
Safety is paramount. We can provide and install your roof safety equipment (Roof Hatch, Fixed Ladders, Guardrails, Walkways, and Anchor Points) to ensure a secure environment for maintenance and inspections.
While we highly suggest getting an occasional roof checkup, the greatest benefit of shingle roofing is the lack of need for regularly scheduled maintenance. Not only that, but repairs are easy if they ever become damaged, which often do not require having to replace the entire field of the roof.
*Unified Steel™ roofs, whether installed direct-to-deck or with battens, create Above Sheathing Ventilation (ASV), offering potential energy savings compared to asphalt shingles.
*Unified Steel™ roofing panels can be installed with specific underlay for a Class A fire rating for the most severe fire-prone areas. They carry the highest Class 4 Hail rating and meet the coastal Florida region’s requirements for High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ).
An infrared scan on a roof during an inspection offers several benefits, as it allows for non-invasive detection of issues that might not be visible to the naked eye. Here are some key advantages:
1. Detects Moisture and Water Intrusion
Infrared scans can identify areas where moisture has entered the roof, even if it’s hidden beneath the surface. This helps to find leaks that might not be visible from the outside or interior of the building.
2. Identifies Insulation Problems
An infrared scan can reveal areas where insulation is missing or insufficient. Proper insulation is crucial for energy efficiency, and identifying gaps early can help prevent higher energy costs.
3. Pinpoints Heat Loss and Energy Efficiency Issues
The scan detects heat signatures that indicate where the roof may be allowing heat to escape. This can help identify areas of energy loss, leading to potential cost savings by addressing the problem.
4. Non-Destructive
Unlike traditional methods of roof inspection, which may require the removal of materials or physical inspection, infrared scanning is non- invasive. It allows for an efficient and thorough inspection without damaging the roof.
5. Early Detection of Potential Damage
Infrared thermography can help detect early signs of deterioration, like water infiltration or compromised materials, which might lead to bigger problems down the line if not addressed early.
6. Improved Accuracy and Documentation
Infrared scans provide clear, visual documentation of roof conditions. This is useful for reporting to clients, insurance companies, or contractors. It can also help in tracking the condition of the roof over time.
7. Time and Cost Efficiency
Infrared scanning can cover large areas quickly, reducing the time required for a roof inspection. By identifying problem areas early, it can save on costly repairs by allowing for targeted interventions rather than broad, expensive fixes.
8. Detects Structural Problems
An infrared scan can also uncover issues with the structure of the roof, such as areas of weakness or compromised materials. This helps prevent future structural failures and improves the roof’s overall lifespan.
9. Helps with Warranty Claims
If a roof is still under warranty, infrared scans can help detect issues that might be covered under the warranty. Having a documented scan showing specific issues can be useful when filing a claim with manufacturers or
contractors.
10. Enhanced Safety
Infrared scanning can identify potential problems without the need to access. hard-to-reach or dangerous areas of the roof. This helps to ensure the safety of the inspection team during the process.
Using infrared scans as part of roof inspections provides a proactive approach to identifying and addressing roof problems early, helping to extend the life of the roof and improve the overall energy efficiency of a building.
Using a drone for roof inspection offers a variety of benefits that make the process faster, safer, and more efficient compared to traditional methods. Here’s a description of the key advantages:
1. Safety
Drones eliminate the need for roofers or inspectors to climb ladders or work at dangerous heights, reducing the risk of accidents and falls. They can inspect the roof from the ground, ensuring no one is exposed to unnecessary risks.
2. Cost-Effective
Traditional roof inspections often involve scaffolding, ladders, or even hiring a team to physically inspect the roof, all of which come with higher costs. Drones can provide the same level of inspection, often at a fraction of the cost, saving time and resources.
3. Speed and Efficiency
Drones can complete roof inspections much faster than a manual inspection. What might take hours with scaffolding or ladders can often be done in minutes, allowing inspectors to assess the roof and gather data more quickly.
4. Access to Hard-to-Reach Areas
Drones can easily fly over areas that are otherwise difficult to reach, such as steep slopes, high peaks, or areas with limited access. This makes it easier to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire roof, including spots that may be hard to access manually.
5. Detailed Imagery and Data Collection
Drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal sensors that can capture detailed images, videos, and data from various angles. This allows for a more thorough examination of the roof, detecting issues like leaks, cracks, or wear that might not be visible from the ground or a simple visual inspection.
6. Minimized Disruption
Roof inspections using drones are minimally disruptive to homeowners, tenants, or business operations. Unlike traditional methods that may involve setting up scaffolding or causing noise, drone inspections are quiet and do not interrupt daily activities.
7. Environmental Benefits
Drones are more environmentally friendly compared to traditional inspection methods. They do not require the use of fuel-guzzling machinery or vehicles for access, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the inspection process.
8. Comprehensive Reporting
Many drones are equipped with software that allows inspectors to create detailed, real- time reports and 3D models of the roof. These reports can be used to document the condition of the roof, making it easier to recommend repairs or maintenance. They also provide an accurate record for future inspections.
9. Remote Monitoring
Some drone inspections can be done remotely, meaning inspectors do not even need to be on-site. This is particularly useful for large or hard-to-reach buildings or in cases where inspectors are located far from the property.
10. Insurance and Documentation
Drones can provide real-time visual documentation, which can be useful for insurance purposes, claims, or legal matters. The images and videos captured can serve as a reliable record of the roof’s condition before or after storms, accidents, or other events that may lead to damage.
In summary, using drones for roof inspections enhances safety, reduces costs, and provides a faster, more accurate, and thorough analysis of the roof’s condition, making it an invaluable tool for modern property maintenance.
