Ah, summer! The season of sunshine, longer days, and… commercial roof maintenance? That’s right! While your business is thriving under the summer sun, it’s the perfect time to give your commercial or industrial roof the attention it deserves. At Empire Roofing Corp., we believe that summer is the ultimate  season for inspections and repairs. With clear skies, extended daylight hours, and proactive maintenance, your roof will be in top shape, ready to protect your operations through any weather. So why is summer the best time to ensure your commercial roof is at its best?

Ideal Weather Conditions

Summer’s clear skies and warm weather provide the perfect backdrop for roofing work. Unlike fall and winter, when adverse weather conditions can impede visibility and slow down the pace of work, summer allows for thorough inspections and timely repairs. The dry conditions mean our team can identify issues such as leaks, cracks, and structural damage with a great deal of accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, the absence of ice and snow ensures a safer environment for our workers, enabling them to also complete their work more swiftly and effectively.

Proactive Maintenance

Conducting maintenance and inspections in the summer prepares your building for the upcoming harsh winter weather. Identifying and fixing problems now prevents them from escalating under the stress of snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, This proactive approach helps avoid costly and disruptive emergency repairs, ensuring your roof remains in peak condition throughout the entire year.

Extended Daylight Hours

The longer daylight hours of summer allow our team to work more efficient days, accelerating the completion of inspections and repairs. This means shorter project durations and minimal disruptions to your business operations. With more daylight, we can schedule work at more convenient times, reducing the need for your business to pause operations for extended periods.

Ease of Inspection Maintenance

Summer’s warmer temperatures provide an ideal environment for inspecting and maintaining your roof. Some roofing systems benefit from these conditions, allowing for more efficient and thorough repairs when deficiencies are identified. Winter’s prolonged cold temperatures, snow, and ice can create challenging environments where inspections and necessary maintenance are greatly affected, if not completely impossible to carry out. By taking advantage of the summer weather, we ensure your roof is in top condition before the harsh winter sets in.

By scheduling your roofing maintenance and inspections in summer, you take advantage of the best possible conditions to ensure the longevity and reliability of your commercial roof. At Empire Roofing Corp., we are committed to providing top-notch service, so that you roof is ready to face any weather condition. Don’t wait for problems to arise – contact us today to schedule your summer maintenance and inspection.

Empire Roofing Corporation proudly announces its integral role in the completion of Ontario’s first-ever-all-electric Net Zero Carbon speculative industrial building! This milestone, achieved at 6750 Fifth Line in Milton, ON, stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence and sustainability.

The 234,061-square-foot industrial building features an enhanced envelope with superior roof insulation, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced air leakage. The building boasts a 500kW rooftop solar array, offsetting 100% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. Over the first 10 years, our contribution will prevent 2,151 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere – equivalent to removing 468 cars from the road!

The all-electric HVAC system, 200-300% more efficient than standard systems, ensures a projected 59% reduction in annual operating costs in the first year compared to traditional construction.

This project serves as the blueprint for the future of environmentally friendly roofing, and Empire Roofing is proud to have been a partner in its completion. As we continue to embrace sustainability, we stay committed to advancing green practices in roofing and underscore the positive impact we can collectively make on the environment.
