Today, even seemingly simple choices can be complicated. So when you’re faced with a decision that requires a major expense or even capital investment, how can you be sure you have the information you need to make the right decision? This is especially true with roofing, because a bad decision can result in:
• premature roof replacement
• unbudgeted repair expense
• aggravated or injured occupants
• and even lawsuits!
Not surprisingly, roofing represents less than 4% of a typical building’s cost, but the majority of construction litigation! With these kinds of risks, making the right roofing choices is critical. But how do you go about it? GAF’s four-step process can help you make the right decisions about your roofing project, and can dramatically increase the chances of its long-term financial success.
Step #1: Understand
Roofing system selection cannot be made without a thorough understanding of the property and its use. Key factors to consider include:
• Investment Objectives
• Property Use
• Property Location
• Building Construction
Regrettably, too many roofing decisions are made without a thorough understanding of these and other relevant factors, or their impact, resulting in sub-optimal performance of the roofing system. Remember, as you progress in your decision process, RAMCON can assist you with design to help assure that key issues like local code compliance and performance considerations are properly addressed.
Step #2: Select
Every property is unique and has its own set of roofing needs. Customizing a roofing system that best matches those needs is one of the keys to a financially successful roofing project.
At RAMCON we install every type of roofing system for just about every manufacturer in the industry. This allows us to select the right solution for your specific application, with no limitations.
RAMCON’s project teams are recognized by leading owners, contractors and consultants for their expertise, efficiency, and professionalism.
Step #3: Install and Inspect
The complexity of a roofing system has increased and new roofing technologies have made proper installation and inspection even more critical for reliable, long-term performance.
RAMCON is selected by more owners, managers and contractors in Florida for one simple reason…the RAMCON team is very good at what they do. The statistics don’t lie; RAMCON has the highest quality scores, the best safety record (.63 EMR), record installation speeds and offers the longest and most comprehensive warranties available.
In addition, RAMCON has manufacturer inspectors on every project we do. We’ll bring the manufacturer’s field services representative, to monitor every project, providing outside and unbiased feedback on our performance. Our policy is to not leave a project until it scores a 100% on the quality survey.
Step #4: Maintain
The single best way to extend the life of your roof is to perform regular inspections and maintenance.
Every reputable roofing manufacturer requires regular inspection and maintenance to maintain guarantee coverage. Regular inspections can also prevent costly problems from causes that are not covered by manufacturers’ guarantees, like damage from vandalism, damage done by other contractors on the roof, or structural deterioration.
The best one to maintain your roof is a MyRAMCON Roof Star plan. This program utilizes specialized crews, who have the knowledge, experience, and training to spot and correct potential problems before they happen. Savvy property owners realize that a comprehensive maintenance program will save them many times over during the life of their roofing system.
In fact, some manufacturers are so committed to proper maintenance that we’ll extend the length of your warranty duration by a full 25% for at no cost if you perform regular inspection and maintenance through RAMCON. It’s a win-win scenario for all parties involved.
