Most home and business owners aim to get the most out of their buildings. They want them to be comfortable, free of leaks, low maintenance, and – most of all – secure. When something goes awry, it almost always comes as a shock. Whether it’s moisture in an attic space, heat-sapping drafts, or missing shingles, the question always comes up: What could I have done? Well, today we have the answer for you: roof maintenance! As a way to identify and address minor issues before they snowball into major problems, there’s no better way to ensure – and maintain – the health of your property.
It is all too easy to assume that a building project will go off without a hitch. Being optimistic, many people simply overlook the complicated logistics, legal wranglings and finer details of constructing a new building. No matter the size of your business – whether a small, local operation or a massive, multi-national conglomerate – the assistance of an architect can prove invaluable in navigating the often complex – and occasionally perilous – combination of zoning laws, contractor relations and building codes involved in designing a building.
With the New Year upon us, it’s time to start thinking about your roof’s health in 2020. One of the best ways to ensure that it continues to protect you, your products, and your employees is to schedule a professional roof inspection. While many roofing issues are immediately apparent, a number of them are undetectable by the naked eye. A professional inspector looks for these hidden problems, searches out their causes, and makes recommendations to ensure the longevity – and effectiveness – of your roof. In today’s post, we’re going to take a quick look at Wharry’s inspection process.
When embarking on a new building project, it can be overwhelming to consider every possible variable. From material choices and code compliance, to selecting contractors and cutting costs, it's essential to weigh every option. While it can be challenging to consider everything, we're happy to say that the process can be made much easier with the addition of a professional architect. Trained to examine every angle, architects are a great addition to every building project. In today's post, we're going to look at how they can help your project along and, more importantly, save you time and money.
If you’re concerned about the state of your roof, you may wish to inquire about regular, ongoing roof maintenance. Whether you’ve noticed curling shingles, an abundance of algae, or leaks inside your home, it’s best to have a professional address these issues early before they spiral into unfixable, costly problems. Leaks, in particular, often put homeowners in a challenging position. Is the leak small or large? Is it isolated to one area or is it throughout the house? Is it new or has it been slowly growing over time?
Having your roof inspected and surveyed regularly by a professional is one of the most important maintenance tasks for commercial and residential building owners. It's not simply looking at the roof and determining its condition, there is a lot more to it than that. There are two main purposes behind requestion a roof inspection: finding any current problems and gauging the remaining life of the roof.
