With the arrival of 2022 comes a moment of deciding where a business has been and where it is going. The new year marks an excellent time to evaluate what systems work in our companies and where we need help. With the future open before us, it’s an ideal time to make long-term decisions. 

There’s a lot to look at: what systems work for your business, identify where you need help, and what best options might be closed down. As you look into your overhead and building practices, your commercial roof is an area that might get overlooked. But it has a tremendous effect on your business. 

Damage to the roof means a loss in the air control for the building. Rot, termites, and strain can leave your roof with holes, letting out air conditioning and costing you every day. And should you have a roof collapse, think of how much infrastructure could be destroyed in a single night of a storm.  

While insurance might replace it, it doesn’t cover the weeks of productive work you could potentially lose to a fatal oversight. Getting your roof repaired and recovered when the only sign is an increase in air conditioning costs is a wise investment. 

Even if your roof is fit as a fiddle, remember that your roof will sit out in the sun all day on the hottest day of the year. Are you taking advantage of this with solar power? If not, the time may be suitable to get a price on upgrading your roof to a solar panel system that collects energy for your business. Often, switching to solar power will pay for itself in under a year and still allows your business the assurance of electrical coverage all year round, day or night.
