Inspections are vital to the health of a commercial or industrial building. Heating, plumbing, mechanical and a host of other systems require periodic checkups in order to run smoothly and so that potential issues can be brought to light. As the crown of your building that protects everything beneath it, your commercial roofing system should top your list of necessary routine inspections.
As people begin to emerge from the fog of 2020, there is an eagerness to get back to the “luxury” of planning. For many businesses, that means thinking in terms of capital improvements. Improvements that may have been necessarily delayed in 2020 could be addressed, and 2021 is a great time to put a refresh of your commercial roof back on the table.
As the 2021 tax filing season gets underway, now is a good time to remind commercial building owners of their ability to achieve tax savings for improvements they have made to their buildings—including their commercial roofs.
Northeast Ohio winters can be hard on any commercial roof, no matter what shape it is in. For example, constant freeze/thaw cycles can lead to trapped moisture in seams that can eventually cause leaks. When drifting snow melts, it can create great pressure on the roof, especially in seams.
Overall, flat roofs are more susceptible to leaks because they don’t allow snow to easily slide off. Additionally, ice can be a real problem on flashings, seams and downspouts. So, what do you do when you spot signs that your roof is leaking this winter?
Why is a Northeast Ohio commercial roofing company talking about record-breaking temperatures and late winter snow? The answer is simple—as a commercial or industrial building owner, it is not too late to schedule roof repairs or even a roof replacement.
Have you been putting off replacement of your commercial roof until sometime later in the year? If you have either been told you need to need to replace your roof – or have a strong inkling that a simple repair isn’t going to do it – you’ll want to take action before the first snowflake flies.

The Medina Community Recreation Center boasts four swimming pools, including a competition pool and a leisure pool. The city put out for public bid a new premium roof system, with detailed specifications and project inspections performed by Greg Taylor of Taylor Consulting, to cover its recreation center, which consists of a gymnasium and an aquatics center. Roberts Roofing won the bid to replace the roof of the 50,000-square-foot center with a premium system.
Some commercial roof replacements are fairly straightforward jobs. Then there are jobs that call for a special approach. Our work to replace the roof of the Regina Mundi Chapel at Sisters of Notre Dame Educational Center of Chardon fits that description. Roberts Roofing had replaced the chapel roof 30 years ago, and the sisters recognized it was time for a new one.
