Longer days and warmer weather signal the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
For commercial property owners, it’s time again to give Collins Roofing a call for your routine springtime inspection visit. Overall maintenance and roof care is best left to professionals but that’s not to say there’s nothing you can do to help keep your roof in good shape.
It’s always a good idea to include roofing maintenance in your yearly spring cleaning list. This can help you uncover any problems that the previous winter might have left behind and get your building ready to face the days ahead. Let our roofing professionals at Collins Roofing give you some simple maintenance tips you can follow this season.
Regular maintenance can be hard to keep track of especially if you’re managing a large commercial property. You can make sure you never skip any important inspections and visit by contacting us!
Check the Roof Yourself
A thorough inspection can only be done by a certified professional, however, you can still give your commercial flat roof a quick walkthrough to see if there are any visible signs of a problem. Two major areas you should always inspect are the flashing and the roof field. The field should look “flat” with no indication of degradation. Flashings must be in good shape and show no signs of rusting or corrosion.
Start a Roofing File
If you haven’t already, start a roofing file that contains all the important information about your roof. This includes information about the company that did your metal roofing system installation. Place all warranty details, insurance policies, maintenance schedules and even the materials in one convenient file.

TOP 5 SPRING ROOF ISSUES
Winter’s over, the days are getting brighter, and the last thing homeowners want are new spring roof issues to deal with. Spring is a vital time for rooftop health, because roofs are recovering from winter conditions while dealing with spring rain and related problems, just like we saw plenty of this week! Here are the top five dangers spring brings to your roof, so make sure you are prepared!
1. Damage from Trapped Moisture
Spring sees a lot of new plant growth, while older leaves or needles may still be trapped on rooftops from last fall. The combination can create a lot of matted debris in gutters and on low-sloping rooftops that trap moisture for long period of time. Meanwhile, shingles already bombarded by winter weather (which can include damaging winds and ice), now have to deal with a deluge of spring rainstorms. It’s no surprise, then, that moisture damage is a common cause of spring roof issues. That’s why it’s so important to quickly repair any roof problems.
2. Failed Sealants
Many building materials contract slightly in the cold and expand slightly in the heat. For more delicate materials, this can cause problems over time. We see sealants, which protect rooftop flashing, crack and warp until gaps form. This separation allows water to sneak in and damage the flashing even more. The problem here is that sealants are difficult to examine unless you get up close to roofing materials, which is why a professional inspection may be a good idea for older roofs in the spring.
3. Cracked Membranes and Underlayments
A mix of long periods of moisture and rapidly changing temperatures can also harm roof membranes, those layers under your shingles that are meant to keep moisture from traveling any further. Older membranes may give up in the winter and develop dangerous cracks that spring rainstorms exploit. In other words, you notice leaks inside your home. It’s important to get these leaks fixed ASAP since they give water, insects and (if allowed to grow), rodents access to structural materials and insulation. Collins Roofing can help with these important projects.
4. Curling Shingles
Shingles, especially if you have had freezing weather, can split and warp, especially at the edges of your roof. Spring is a great time to take a look at these edges and see if they are uneven, split, or curled. You may need to clean your gutters for a good look, but that’s another great spring project!
5. Pest Issues
Animals and insects are busy recovering from hibernation, looking for food, and creating nests as spring continues. As you can imagine, your roof and attic are common targets, which means a lot of pest problems start in spring. Be wary of ants, squirrels, racoons, termites, birds and other creatures that can damage your roof, chimney and eaves. These pests will use any hole they can find – or, in the case of birds, nest in any spot they find. Use guards to protect vulnerable parts of your roof from spring roof issues.
