Managed Roof Asset Protection — With a Repair Budget Built In
A commercial roof is one of your building's most expensive assets — and the easiest to ignore until it leaks. Red Hawk's tiered maintenance program keeps water out, protects your warranty, and puts a 30% repair allowance, photo-documented reports, and 24–48 hour emergency response in writing.
Red Hawk's Commercial Roofing Maintenance Program is a tiered preventive-maintenance service for Colorado commercial properties. Both tiers run a full 12-point scope of services on every visit, include a Not-to-Exceed repair allowance equal to 30% of the contract value, deliver a photo-documented written report within five business days, and provide 24–48 hour emergency leak response. Standard covers two inspections a year; Premium covers four, plus annual pressure washing and priority scheduling. Pricing is quoted per building after a roof assessment.
Why Commercial Properties Need a Maintenance Program
A commercial roof rarely fails all at once. It fails slowly, out of sight — and the bill lands when it's least convenient. Here's what a program protects you from.
Protect the warranty you paid for
Most commercial membrane warranties — including manufacturer NDL and system warranties — require documented periodic maintenance and prompt repair of issues to stay valid. Skip it and a manufacturer can deny a claim, leaving you to pay for the exact failure the warranty was meant to cover.
Defer your biggest capital expense
A full commercial re-roof is one of the largest capital costs a building owner faces. Preventive maintenance extends a roof's service life and pushes that replacement further out — planned, small repairs instead of a premature tear-off.
Small problems don't stay small
On a low-slope roof a failed seam, an open pitch pan, or a clogged drain doesn't announce itself — until water is in the insulation, the deck, and your tenant's space. Caught early it's a sealant repair; caught late it's a re-roof plus interior and inventory damage.
Documented proof for insurance claims
Property policies commonly exclude losses from wear, tear, deterioration, and lack of maintenance. When a hail or wind claim happens, a photo-stamped maintenance history is your evidence the damage was sudden storm loss — not pre-existing neglect an adjuster can deny.
Standing water is a flat roof's enemy
Low-slope roofs are prone to ponding water and clogged drains. Standing water accelerates membrane breakdown and adds structural load. Scheduled drain, scupper, and downspout clearing keeps water moving off the roof where it belongs.
You can't manage what you can't see
Commercial roofs are out of sight until they leak. Scheduled inspections with date-stamped photo reports give you visibility into an asset you rarely walk — and a paper trail for your records, your board, or your lender.
More Than an Inspection
Most programs sell you a walk-around and bill every repair on top. Ours puts three things in the contract.
Repair budget built in
Both tiers include a Not-to-Exceed repair allowance equal to 30% of your annual contract value for in-scope minor repairs — most inspection programs quote you and then bill every repair separately.
Photo-documented reports
Every visit ends in a written, date- and location-stamped photo report delivered within five business days — before/after on every repair performed.
Emergency leak response
Both Standard and Premium members get 24–48 hour response to a reported active leak, including temporary leak stoppage.

Quoted Per Building — Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every commercial roof is different, so we price yours after a roof assessment rather than posting a single rate. Your quote is driven by four things:
Membrane type
EPDM, TPO, PVC, or modified bitumen — each carries its own rate. Other systems are custom-quoted.
Total roof area
Priced by the square foot, with a 3,500 sf minimum billed in aggregate across all buildings.
Tier & visit frequency
Standard (2 visits/yr) or Premium (4 visits + pressure wash + priority).
Contract term
1, 3, or 5 years. Multi-year terms earn a discount; billed annually, never collected upfront; no auto-renewal.
Multi-building portfolio? Multiple buildings can be covered under a single agreement and may qualify for portfolio pricing. Tell us what you own or manage and we'll put together a walk, an assessment, and a written quote.

Commercial Maintenance Questions
Pricing is quoted per building. Your annual cost depends on the membrane type, the total roof area, the tier you choose (Standard or Premium), and the contract term. Because every commercial roof is different, we price it after a roof assessment rather than posting a one-size rate. Contracts are billed annually, future years are not collected upfront, and there is no auto-renewal — a new agreement is signed to continue past the term.
Both tiers perform the exact same full scope of services on every visit and both include the 30%-of-contract repair allowance and 24–48 hour emergency response. Standard includes two inspections per year, with pressure washing available as an add-on. Premium includes four inspections per year, annual pressure washing at no extra charge, and priority scheduling on all service calls. Premium suits multi-tenant, retail, medical, and mission-critical buildings; Standard suits owner-occupied and single-tenant properties.
Both tiers include a repair budget equal to 30% of your total annual contract value, applied to in-scope minor repairs found during inspections or reported between visits — leak repairs, pitch-pan and pipe-boot re-seals, lap-seam re-seals, small membrane patches, fastener work, sealant renewal, and drain clearing. Unused allowance does not roll over year to year. Repairs that exceed the allowance are quoted separately and require your written approval before work proceeds.
No. Insurable storm damage — hail, wind, and similar perils — is not part of the maintenance agreement. If we find storm damage during an inspection we document it in your photo report and, at your request, assist you in pursuing an insurance claim under a separate work authorization. The maintenance program covers preventive care and in-scope minor repairs, not a full or partial re-roof.
The program is built around the common commercial low-slope membranes — EPDM, TPO, PVC, and modified bitumen. If your building has a metal, built-up (BUR), ballasted, or coated system, call us and we'll scope a custom quote for it rather than force it into a standard rate.
Yes — a minimum billable area of 3,500 square feet applies in aggregate across all buildings on the agreement. Individual buildings may be smaller, but the combined total must meet the 3,500 sf minimum. Multiple buildings can be covered under a single agreement, and multi-building portfolios may qualify for portfolio pricing.
Both Standard and Premium members get a 24–48 hour response to a reported active leak. Emergency response includes temporary leak stoppage; permanent repairs may be scheduled afterward. Where the cause is in-scope, the emergency work is billed against your NTE allowance; out-of-scope causes (such as storm damage) are quoted and authorized separately.

The Commercial Roofing Maintenance Program is a preventive-maintenance service, not an insurance product and not a warranty. In-scope minor repairs are covered by the Not-to-Exceed allowance; repairs beyond it are quoted separately and require written approval. Insurable storm damage (hail, wind) is excluded from the program and is handled through your insurance carrier under a separate work authorization. Program terms, tiers, scope, and the 3,500 sf minimum are set out in the signed Commercial Roofing Maintenance Agreement.
