What type of first impression does your business make? By protecting and maintaining the exterior of your San Antonio commercial property throughout the year, you’ll ensure that the building’s façade delivers the right message regarding your company’s values. The tasks will also reduce maintenance costs and prevent expensive repairs.

1. Roofing maintenance

Whether you have one of the various types of metal roofing or a shingle roof, your roof is a big investment that protects the rest of the building. Hire a roofing contractor to clean and maintain it at least once a year. Cut back tree branches that overhang the roof. After any extreme weather, inspect the roof after episodes of high winds or hail. Because all types of metal roofing and traditional roofing styles are susceptible to damage and wear, make haste to hire a contractor when the structure needs repairs.

2. Weatherproofing

Weatherproofing prevents water intrusions, rot, corrosion, pest infestations and mold from affecting exterior structures. Fill gaps and cracks found along walkways, exterior walls and hardscaping components. Replace broken and damaged window seals. Use weather-resistant sealants on exposed wood and protective coatings on cement. If you have a flat roof, even if it’s one of the various types of metal roofs, use a protective coating that reflects the sun’s rays and prevents water damage.

3. Impact-Resistant Windows

High-quality, hurricane resistant windows provide superior protection against glass breakage from severe weather and vandalism. Investing in durable windows will help to keep your business up and running without interruptions.

4. Sufficient lighting

Increase visibility, deter criminals, and prevent accidents by having sufficient lighting at the entries and around the exterior of your business. Place the lights in areas that are hard to reach or within tamper-resistant fixtures.

5. Maintain good drainage

Ensure that the hardscaping, landscaping and gutter system direct water away from the building to prevent water intrusions and protect the building’s foundation. Water should not pool within 10 feet of the building. If it does, inspect the gutters and drains for damage, and verify that the sprinkler systems does not spray water toward the building.
