Five Fact Friday

It's that time again...Five Fact Friday brought to you by RoofConnect's Technical Services Department.


  • Effective communication is key in maintaining customer relationships and potentially more important than the actual work being performed.
  • There is not “one size fits all” roof application.  Each opportunity must be evaluated and fitted with the appropriate roof for the location, configuration, size, and use of the building.
  • Remember:  The lowest price does not necessarily result in saving money.  Hire the person who is most knowledgeable about the project, not the one with the lowest price.
  • A scheduled inspection program for rooftop drainage and waterways is critical to positive roof performance and structural integrity.
  • When considering a solar installation, it is essential to include a roofing professional and roofing manufacturer in your discussions with the solar integrator.  Together they can make sure your roofing continues to perform and your building contents are protected during and after the solar installation.

    Five Fact Friday!

    Welcome to the first edition of RoofConnect's Five Fact Friday! We hope to make this a weekly posting that will provide valuable information on various roofing topics. 

    1. Performing preventative maintenance to any type of roof system will add 40% to the life expectancy, per the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).
    2. Cleaning a single ply white membrane annually will help reflect UV and maximize the energy efficiency of the building. 
    3. Detailed cleaning with the proper chemicals is essential in installing single ply patches.
    4. Water based acrylic coatings are poor performers on roof systems that do not have positive drainage. They will gather dust and debris, causing a dirty roof system and possibly clogging roof drains.
    5. Detailed scopes of work and specifications are essential for obtaining competitive pricing for roof repairs and re-roofing.
