Regardless of the industry, any major roof on a building vital to the operation of your business should have a system in place to make sure regularly scheduled maintenance take place. The roof should be regarded as a major asset of the company and an incremental investment can extend its performance.

Often times, the roof of a building is ‘out of sight, out of mind’. The problem with that thought process is that someday it could lead to a complete shutdown of your business. The losses could incur from lost workdays if in a manufacturing plant or a loss of inventory in a warehouse. The loss can also be due to a repair bill multitudes more costly than it would have been if the problem was detected even months before. Roofs are neglected mainly because they are not a ‘revenue generating’ investment but they can easily become a huge money draining experience.

Search for a local commercial roof contractor that is offering a preventative maintenance program to existing or new customers. The inspections should be done by someone with professional training and experience repairing the type of roof on your building. Regular maintenance staff cannot inspect to the level of detail needed to find all types of potential problems.

A roofing preventative maintenance program should consist of four basic parts for comprehensive service. It needs to start with an inspection of the current situation. Anyone willing to initiate a service contract without assessing the roof is probably not knowledgeable enough to carry out the plan. The second part of the plan should be an evaluation presented to you on the state of the roof and what needs to be repair at this point in time to get the roof in the best shape possible.

After the evaluation is presented and you agree with the finding and to hire the contractor, they will then begin implementation of the plan by carrying out the repairs mentioned. Twice yearly inspections should be done after that to do routine maintenance and check for problems.

Hiring a professional ly licensed contractor for a preventative maintenance program give you the following benefits:

— Restoration of the current roof system

— Around the clock emergency repair service

— Semi-annual inspection of roof

— Early detection and repair of defects in the roof

— Comprehensive product knowledge

— Top of the line material and craftsmanship

— Consultation on roof life for capital budget planning

The preventative maintenance program will not only keep your roof in good shape, it will also help you establish a relationship with a contractor you trust before you need them for something major. Finding a reputable company is a lot harder when you have water pouring through your roof in an emergency with limited options of companies available to fix it. It will also be nice if there is ever a major geographic storm such as a tornado or hurricane in your area and everyone has roofing problems. Contractors are going to serve long term customers quicker than everyone else.

Solar Power in Maui is becoming more and more popular with homeowners and business owners alike. Solar power can be used to power your residence as well as used for hot water, to replace a traditional hot water heater. There are many different reasons why switching to solar power makes sense.

One of the main reasons to change over is that using solar power decreases your carbon footprint. A carbon footprint is defined as “the amount of carbon dioxide and other carbon compounds emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person, group, etc.” By using natural resources, such as sunlight, the carbon footprint can be reduced. This is important to ensure the Earth and our environment stays healthy and sustainable. For example, by using a conventional water heater a four-person household will produce about eight tons of carbon dioxide annually. To put that into perspective, that is double than what an average car emits. A solar hot water system has the least impact on our environment than any traditional hot water system.

Many people percent. There are also State and Federal tax credits that may be available to those who choose to install a solar power system in their home or business.

If you are thinking about switching to Solar Power in Maui, check with a local business that has experience in this area such as The Sonshine Solar Corp. Do some research on your own so you can come to the meeting with questions in hand. Then, you will be able to make an informed decision on the system that would be right for your needs.
