What commercial owners should know about roof access

An assessment can depend on ladders, hatches, escorts or building rules. Confirm arrangements before the scheduled visit.

Confirm whether an escort, access key or building contact is needed for the scheduled visit. Share access hours and any restrictions before the crew arrives.

Contact Dekoven Roofing to discuss a commercial roof assessment. Include the building address and the name of the person who can arrange access.

Set simple rules: only authorized people, a sign-in log, fall protection where required and a process for reporting damage. Equipment contractors should know that stepping on membranes can cause leaks.

Ask the roofer about walk pads and safe routes near equipment.
