Roofing membranes in use today may be made with chemical properties that are not compatible with other materials. Use of incorrect materials for patching and repair may cause irreversible damage to your roof. Some materials may have limited shelf life.

Consult a professional before working on this roof. Call a member of the Roofing Contractors Association of British Columbia ("RCABC").

An ongoing preventative maintenance program will not only extend the life of the roofing system but will also detect minor problems before damage is widespread. The most effective program is simply a program of scheduled inspections and corrective action.

The ideal time to plan your roof maintenance program is when you receive your "RGC Roofing System Record" file at the completion of your roofing job. Suggested Inspections & Maintenance 1. Regular walk-over inspections should be made at least twice a year, once in the spring, and once in the fall. 2. Spring inspections permit observation of possible winter damage and allow for maintenance to be scheduled and completed during the best possible weather. 3. Fall inspections can disclose requirements for preventative measures that should be taken in preparation for the oncoming winter. 4. Extra inspections should be made after major storms or after any construction activity that could affect the roofing system. 5. If you need help - Call a professional - Call a Member of RCABC
