Comprehensive Roof Analysis ReportYour roof is usually your first and only line of defense against Mother Nature’s fury. For too many building owners and managers, the first sign of a roofing issue is water pouring into the facility. However, this does not have to be the case. Most roof leaks do not develop overnight. Knowing what is occurring on your roofing system can save you thousands and prolong the service life of your roofing system, resulting in a higher return on your roofing investment and mitigating the risks of damage, liability, and losses.Comprehensive inspections do far more than just prevent leaks. They keep your budget accurate. How do you arrive at the bottom line figure for your roof budget? Do you make an “educated guess” or is it just a complete “shot in the dark”? Neither of these approaches takes the composition, condition, age, life expectancy and existing roof conditions into consideration.Our uniquely capable team is here to provide RAMCON clients with the industry leading roof analysis report. It scours every inch of your roof system to tell you:What is really occurring up there?How do these conditions affect the performance of your roof?What can you do to eliminate the concerns?What should be your roof budget?The life expectancy of the roof.The RAMCON Comprehensive Roof Analysis Report answer these questions with captioned photographs, budgets, and projections; providing much more information than an “educated guess”.

We do the legwork and provide you the knowledge and resources from Florida’s most experienced roofing team. It’s simple, fast, and effective.Discover Steep-Slope Roof CleaningThose ugly black and green streaks or stains on your shingle, tile and metal roofing systems are caused by a hardy type of algae. This type of algae is called gloeocapsa magma. Florida is ground zero of the danger zone for facilities with these this problem.This type of algae feeds on the crushed limestone that is used in the building materials in and around the roof materials. Rain spreads the algae down the roof causing the black streaks. These streaks are not only unsightly but cause the roof to fail prematurely by loosening the protective granules on shingles, deteriorating the protective coating on the metal and by not allowing the roof to reflect heat properly, which increases cooling cost. Just as mold and mildew can grow on your vinyl siding, wind blown algae can land and grow on your roof. Replacing your roof because of this algae is like replacing your siding instead of having it cleaned. Those unattractive growths can be cleaned by our low-pressure roof cleaning process, restoring your roof to a consistent clean color.In addition to protecting and extending the life of your roofing system, a clean roof looks better to your customers and tenants and improves the overall image of your facility.Discover Low-Slope Roof CleaningIt’s a fact, a clean roof lasts longer and is more energy efficient that a dirty one. Add to this the advent of “rated” reflective roofing, cleaning your roofing system is clearly a necessary task.The reason for this is to maintain effective long-term Solar Reflectance (‘reflectance’) performance of the roofing surface. It is well known that light- colored roofs get dirty and lose reflectance. The EPA’s Energy Star® program allows cleaning of the roof surface before taking the “aged” Solar Reflectance reading. As light colored membranes accumulate dirt, the reflectance value will decrease. Therefore without regular cleaning, you will not fully benefit from the value of roof reflectance. As roofs become soiled and lose their energy savings potential.In Florida, where reflective roofs can be most effective, the loss of reflectance due to aging or environmental effects substantially reduces the potential energy savings. The important question, then, is, “Can the reflectance of the roofing be effectively restored periodically, at a maintenance cost that will be more than counterbalanced by the savings from reduced energy-use? The answer is yes..and we’ll explain how.
