Finding efficiency in roof maintenance

By Jesse Sanchez. 

Learn how to build maintenance programs that protect roofs and strengthen operations. 

On January 28 at 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET, Megan Ellsworth hosts a new CoatingsTalk™ with Chris Huettig of KARNAK and Tracey Donels of Service First Solutions. Together, they will explore how commercial roof maintenance departments can be structured to move efficiently without sacrificing care and how maintenance can extend the life of a roof and the reach of a business. 

A good maintenance program does more than fix problems, it reshapes how a company grows 

The discussion will center on why proactive maintenance matters for low-slope roofs that are already showing their age. Roof coatings can help slow down the clock on a full reroof, reducing the need for tear-offs while also limiting disruption inside the building. For contractors, a maintenance program also creates repeat work and helps diversify business offerings. 

The due will talk through different approaches to maintenance programs, such as tiered maintenance plans, from basic inspections to full preventive care. By defining scope and frequency, contractors can match service to needs while keeping crews productive. 

Tools, trucks and training all decide how much time stays in the day 

Chris and Tracey will also touch on ways to help eliminate time and labor inefficiencies. Between organized service trucks, digital roof mapping and automated scheduling, among other strategies, contractors can reduce wasted time. The duo will also talk about the value of investing in training, what labor-saving products are on the market right now, as well as how to set up maintenance trucks and crews for success. Tune in to hear actionable takeaways that are practical for your business and will help you maximize efficiency while delivering a longer roof life to customers.
