From initial inspections to tailored maintenance plans, our goal is to provide lasting protection for your investment.

Why Commercial Roof Maintenance Matters in Iowa

West Des Moines and the surrounding areas experience extreme weather shifts, from scorching summers to freezing winters. These conditions can take a toll on your roof, making regular maintenance essential. Here’s what Tony had to say:

"Extending the life of your commercial roof saves you significant money in the long run. By focusing on proactive care, you can avoid costly repairs or premature replacements while ensuring your building, inventory, and occupants remain protected."

Top Roofing Materials for Iowa’s Climate

Iowa businesses often choose from three main roofing materials, each offering unique benefits:

• EPDM: Flexible and durable, great for cold weather and absorbing sunlight to reduce heating costs.
• TPO: Energy-efficient, reflecting sunlight to lower cooling costs in summer.
• PVC: Highly resistant to chemicals, ideal for restaurants and manufacturing facilities.

Each material requires regular inspections and maintenance to withstand Iowa’s extreme weather fluctuations and deliver long-term performance.

Maintenance Tips to Prolong Your Roof’s Life

Tony shared his top recommendations for keeping your roof in peak condition:

• Schedule Regular Inspections: At least twice a year, ideally in spring and fall, to catch small issues early.
• Clear Debris: Remove leaves, branches, and dirt that can trap moisture and cause damage.
• Check Drainage Systems: Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear to prevent pooling water.
• Repair Damage Promptly: Address cracks, punctures, or seam separations immediately to save on future repair costs.

Know When It’s Time to Repair or Replace

How can you tell if your roof needs repairs or replacement? Frequent leaks, visible membrane wear, or bubbling are signs of aging. But with professional assessments, like the free inspections we offer, you can make informed decisions to maximize your roof’s lifespan.

Partnering with Right Roofing for Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance isn’t just an option—it’s essential. At Right Roofing, we develop customized maintenance plans tailored to each building’s needs, catching potential problems before they escalate into costly repairs.

Tony puts it simply:

"Think of preventative maintenance as protecting your investment. Small, proactive steps now save you from big headaches later."
