While planning and budgeting for the next year can be overwhelming, we're here to simplify the process. Below are a few simple steps to help maximize your roofing budget and avoid stress from preventable roof leaks and rooftop challenges.
Implement preventative maintenance. Being proactive with maintenance can help you plan your total roofing-related budget for the year, avoid costly emergency service interruptions, and defer the need to replace your roof. A certified roofing contractor should complete a comprehensive health assessment of your roof and provide actionable recommendations to decrease your rooftop risk.
Plan with Section 179 in mind. Get the most tax savings by taking advantage of tax incentives for your organization. Section 179 is an IRS tax code that allows businesses to deduct 80% of the purchase price of qualifying equipment from their taxable income. This bonus depreciation is currently set at 80% but will decrease to 60% in 2024.
Mitigate your rooftop risk. Prevent costly membrane damage and minimize the chance of rooftop fires by properly containing grease.
Be efficient in your operations. Reduce your energy bill with routine maintenance of your HVAC/R units with scheduled, essential tune-ups. In addition, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your roofing membrane with a Roof Restoration. Not only does the refresh enhance the overall condition of the membrane, but it increases the roof’s reflectivity, saving money on continuous cooling and heating costs.
Above are just a few suggestions. The best way to approach rooftop management is to acknowledge that your roof is more than just its membrane. There are other valuable assets such as HVAC/R units and exhaust units, skylights, satellites, and safety equipment that require maintenance and monitoring. By addressing the rooftop as a whole, you can proactively and intelligently extend the life of your roof and its respective assets.
