If you're a new residential or commercial property owner in Las Vegas, there are a lot of things you should know about our valley.

When you purchased a commercial property in Las Vegas, you thought property ownership out here would be smooth sailing. After all, rain is infrequent at best; we are not plagued by earthquakes, tornadoes, severe hail storms, or tsunamis; and the winters don't get cold enough that you need to worry about the weight of the snow collecting on your roof. There's just one thing... that big fiery ball up in the sky. The sun is not a building's friend.
Roof repairs are expensive, so it’s understandable that building owners are hesitant to even get their roof inspected. This might manifest from fear of an inspector uncovering hazards requiring pricey work (or mistrust of the inspectors themselves) but also of adding the cost of the inspection to the already daunting price tag of potential repairs. However, a commercial roof inspection should be the least of any owner’s concern as sticking to a regular inspection schedule can lead to future savings that your wallet will thank you for.
