Designed to provide maintenance and repair workers with safe, rapid access to the roofline of single and two-story buildings, the new OSHA- and CSA-compliant Easi-Dec Platform system from Kee® Safety, Inc. can be assembled from the ground up by two workers in less than 10 minutes without the need for tools and then easily lifted into position.
If you’re a subscriber to Roofing Contractor magazine, the question is not whether or not you have a maintenance program in place — it’s whether your program is more successful than those of your competitors.
Do the math: If 15 percent of leak calls result in follow-up maintenance and the average maintenance ticket is $2,000 with a profit of $1,000 per job, then 500 leak calls result in 75 jobs — and $75,000 in profits.
The initial cost of a roof system is typically 10 percent of the total building cost. However, over the life span the building the roof could account for nearly 60 percent of the building’s total maintenance costs.
Roof consultants typically work with both the building owner and the roofing contractor, giving them a unique perspective when it comes to examining roof maintenance. Roofing Contractor spoke with four consultants who work with building owners across the country and asked them to share their clients’ key concerns and their goals in setting up roof asset management programs.
