Semi-annual roof surveys plus preventative maintenance services can save you money. The National Roofing Contractors Association's (NRCA) preventative maintenance study showed that regular surveys and proactive maintenance can reduce annual costs and extend a roof's life by 30%. Chamberlin's clients have seen proof of these results with our Proactive Roof Asset Management (PRAM) program.
To meet NRCA's recommendations for best roofing practices as well as manufacturer warranty requirements, Chamberlin conducts semi-annual surveys of your roof and documents any deficiencies found - whether emergency or remedial. Our online asset management tool brings the rooftop to your computer screen and allows you to view all deficiency conditions, photos and repair budgets. From there, dispatching a work order is as easy as clicking a button.
