Buying a commercial building is a big investment—and also a big risk if you don’t go in with your eyes wide open. One of the most overlooked (and most expensive) elements during a property purchase is the roof. We’ve seen time and again how a little commercial roofing due diligence upfront can save tens (sometimes hundreds) of thousands of dollars down the line. 

When the roof starts leaking, who’s responsible for ongoing roof care? Does the tenant have to deal with it, or does that fall on the property manager or owner? This is a question we hear all the time at Weather Shield Roofing Systems. We’ve been helping property managers, building owners, and tenants navigate these roof situations for over 40 years, and the truth is—it’s rarely a simple answer.
