Stop paying for surprise leaks

Most commercial roofs do not fail all at once. They fail one clogged drain, one open seam and one loose edge at a time. A maintenance program catches those small things on a schedule, before they leak onto a tenant's floor.

Start with an inspection. Call (656) 233-6113 or send the form. We call you back and get your inspection and written estimate scheduled the same day you reach us. A licensed local commercial roofer checks the roof, fixes what needs fixing, and sets up a plan to keep it that way.

What a good plan includes

Scheduled roof checks

Often twice a year, in spring and fall.

Storm checks

A visit after each hurricane or major storm.

A written report with photos

After every visit, so you have a record.

Drain and gutter cleaning

Clear drains are the cheapest way to prevent ponding and leaks.

Small repairs

Resealing flashing, patching small holes, tightening screws on metal roofs.

A roof map

That marks problem areas and past repairs.

A budget forecast

What the roof will need in the next few years, so there are no surprises.

A priority line

So leaks on plan buildings get looked at first.

Ask for the plan in writing, with what is included, what costs extra, and how fast a leak call gets answered.

Why maintenance matters more in Tampa

Hurricane season. Tampa gets hit hard some years. In 2024, Hurricane Milton brought gusts of about 96 mph at Tampa International Airport and dropped more than 16 inches of rain in parts of South Tampa, according to the National Weather Service. A roof with loose edges and clogged drains going into a storm like that is a roof that fails.

Summer downpours. About 30 of Tampa's 49.5 inches of yearly rain falls from June through September. Drains have to stay clear all summer.

Sun and heat. Strong sun most of the year dries out sealants and wears down coatings. Regular touch-ups keep small cracks from turning into leaks.

Storm debris. Branches, leaves and trash blow onto flat roofs and block drains. One blocked drain can put a whole section of roof under water.

A maintenance calendar for Tampa roofs

  1. Spring (before June 1). Full roof check. Clear drains. Tighten edges and fasteners. Fix anything loose before hurricane season.
  2. During hurricane season. A quick check after each named storm or big wind event, with photos.
  3. Fall (after November 30). Full roof check. Repair storm damage. Update the roof map and the budget forecast.
  4. Any time. Call the moment a leak shows up inside.

What it costs, and what it saves

The price table on this page shows typical ranges from published industry figures in Roofing Contractor magazine and Fixr's cost guide, not a quote for your building.

The bigger number to watch is the one you avoid. A new commercial roof can cost many times more than years of upkeep. A roof that is maintained has a better chance of reaching the long end of its life. Published guides put TPO and PVC at about 15 to 30 years and metal at 30 to 50 or more, and care makes the difference.

What to keep in your roof file

A maintenance plan works best when the records are in one place. Ask the contractor to help you build a roof file for each building with:

  • The roof type, age and the year it was put on
  • The permit records, which show what code the roof was built to
  • The warranty and what it asks you to do
  • Every inspection report and photo set, by date
  • Every repair invoice
  • Any insurance claims and the photos that went with them

This file pays off in three ways. It helps your insurance claim after a storm. It shows a buyer or lender that the roof was cared for. And in Florida it helps answer the 25 percent rule question, because permit records show whether the roof was built to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later.

Who a maintenance plan is for

Property managers

With several buildings who want one roof contractor and one set of reports.

Facility managers

At schools, churches, medical buildings and plants who cannot afford a leak over equipment or people.

Building owners

Who want to plan roof spending years ahead.

Owners with a new roof

Who want to protect the warranty and the investment.

How to start

  1. Call or send the form. Tell us the address and roof type if you know it.
  2. Starting inspection. The roofer checks the roof and writes up its condition, with photos.
  3. Catch-up repairs. Anything that needs fixing now gets a written price.
  4. The plan. Visits get scheduled, and you get a report after each one.

Frequently asked questions

What does a roof maintenance program include?

Most include scheduled roof checks, a written report with photos after each visit, clearing drains and gutters, small repairs like resealing flashing and patching seams, and a check after major storms. Ask for the full list in writing.

How often is the roof checked?

Many plans check the roof twice a year, often spring and fall, plus after each hurricane or big storm. In Tampa, a check before and after hurricane season is a sensible schedule.

How much does a maintenance plan cost?

Industry articles put roof maintenance programs at about 1 to 3 percent of the roof's replacement cost per year. Plans are often priced per square foot. Your contractor will quote a plan for your roof.

Is it worth it?

One industry study cited by Roofing Contractor magazine found proactive maintenance brought a roof's average life-cycle cost to about $0.14 per square foot, compared with up to $0.25 for fixing problems only after they show up.

Does my roof warranty require maintenance?

Many roof warranties expect the owner to keep the roof maintained and to keep records. Read yours, and keep every maintenance report in one place.

Can I join a plan if my roof already has problems?

Yes. Most plans start with an inspection and a list of repairs to bring the roof up to a good baseline. After that, the scheduled visits keep it there.
