Though we’re definitely still in the long, steamy, dog days of summer here in the Peach State, there’s a change on the way — and its name is fall! The upcoming season promises crisper, cooler weather that makes the outdoors that much more appealing for you and your family to walk, explore local attractions, or simply kick back and relax while admiring the changing colors.
Fall also happens to be a great time to reassess your workplace’s roof, and see if summer’s sweltering heat (and accompanying storms) left you with any damage that needs to be dealt with. If it does, don’t worry: your trusted team of commercial Atlanta roof repair professionals can help with exactly that! Just read on to learn more about why fall is an excellent time to look up and take action.
Get A Commercial Roof Inspection
Like all of our neighbors throughout the Southeast, Georgia business owners are used to hot, soggy summers. As the weather starts to cool down and clear up a bit, you might feel as though you’re finally “out of the woods,” weather-wise. But don’t forget to check out your roof! One of the most important parts of your workplace is also one of the easiest to ignore, since many problems don’t become apparent until it’s too late — i.e., structural damage, leaks, or other unwanted effects.
By getting a commercial roof inspection done at the end of summer, you can notice any damage or worry spots before they progress — and then, the team here at Georgia Roofing and Paving, Co. can help you address them with ease. The pros recommend getting your commercial roof inspected twice a year anyway, so make it an annual spring and fall tradition and you’ll never have to worry about it again!
Be Mindful Of Fall Leaves
Who doesn’t fall leaves? From jumping in them as a kid, to admiring the view on a brisk walk through the woods, they’re an iconic trademark of the season. Of course, your commercial roof doesn’t enjoy them quite as much. Even though colorful fall leaves may seem harmless, they can cause potential problems for your roof and gutter system — including rotting and water damage — when not addressed. For these reasons, taking care of leaf disposal on a regular basis is a must.
Consider A Roof Replacement
Many home and business owners often opt to replace their roof during the “in-between” seasons, i.e. spring and fall. The reason? Milder, more predictable weather lets you conveniently get the job done — just in time for more extreme weather in the summer and winter months. At Georgia Roofing and Paving, Co., we can help with everything from standard repairs to full roof tear-offs!
Don’t Let Your Guard Down
Though fall is a seriously beautiful time of year here in Georgia, it’s not a 100% guarantee against bad weather — especially since hurricane season isn’t officially over until the end of November! Fortunately, when you fortify your roof with the help of an experienced Atlanta commercial roofing team, you can relax without actually letting your guard down.
We hope that today’s guide helps you prepare for the beautiful, autumnal season ahead! By taking care of your roof’s seasonal needs, you and your workplace can head into the fall season with that much more peace of mind.
