When it comes to the safety and security of residents of Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Broward County, FL, and the surrounding areas who live in condominiums, there are certain requirements that must be followed. Condo roofs have minimum inspection requirements, and our team at Commercial Roofing Industries can help you remain in compliance of the new inspection laws and regulations. Any new condominiums that are built are required to have their first major inspection, including the roof, at 25 or 30 years old, depending on proximity to the oceanfront. After that, every 10 years is the minimum for inspections on condos. But being that you want to find issues before they become major headaches, you will want to schedule annual inspections. Contact us today to schedule your condo roof inspection to remain in compliance.
Why Not Just Stick To The Minimums
When it comes to minimums in general, they are never designed to be the final answer. Whether it is minimum coverage for insurance, or in this case, the minimum level of inspections to a condominium, these are there to raise the bar just a little above nothing. While minimum inspection periods will enforce some actions and catch a few bad actors, the truth is that a LOT can happen in just a single year, and what was fine just a couple of years ago could be absolutely dangerous now.
The simple truth is that annual inspections of your condo roof should be your minimum standard. With the hurricanes that our area sees every year, plus the regular storms that also come through, your commercial roof could be in rough shape compared to just a year ago. These inspections will help to catch small problems when they are easy to fix and before they become large, expensive problems.
Inspections After Particularly Severe Storms
Minimums also do not account for the out-of-the-ordinary events. After a particularly strong storm or hurricane, it is a good idea to schedule a roof inspection to make sure that your roof is still up to the challenge of keeping things inside dry. You may find after a storm event that flying debris has damaged items on the roof as well as the roof itself. Making repairs now before the next event happens will keep your roof in good condition.
You obviously don’t want to ignore these minimum inspection requirements in Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Broward County, FL, and the surrounding areas, but you also want to stay on top of the roof condition for your condo. Commercial Roofing Industries is your partner in keeping your condo roof in good repair and ready to take on the day to day weather conditions, as well as the storms.
