Commercial roofs take a beating during the summer. With extended UV exposure, extreme heat and daily thermal cycles, even the most durable roof systems like TPO, EPDM and PVC are under constant stress. While these materials are built to perform in tough environments, they can degrade or fail without proper maintenance. Once a summer storm or hurricane hits, that hidden wear and tear may turn into costly water intrusion. Here's a breakdown of the key summer-specific challenges your commercial roof faces and how to stay ahead of them.

Now that summer is in full swing, you need to realize that sometimes it’s the small details that are failing your roof.

Over the years, we’ve learned that taking a look at each detail of your roof makes a drastic difference to its overall performance, especially during stormy summers like this one.
