Roofing Capabilities
Start with the record. One roof leak is a repair; ten roofs across a portfolio is a program. In Wichita Falls, TX we build that program from the same walk-through used for a single repair, and then we turn what we find into files an owner can use.
More About Roofing Capabilities
Reports and assets
Roof condition reports put photos, moisture readings and grades on a numbered plan. Roof asset management keeps those reports current, so an owner can see each roof's trend through the 100-degree days of summer and the storms of spring.
Money and paper
Roof capital planning spreads replacement across years. Roof warranty management keeps repairs and records in step with whatever warranty paper exists. Due diligence roof surveys give a buyer a quick read of the roofs before closing.
Many buildings
A multi-site roof program puts the Business Park warehouse, the retail strip and the clinic into one plan. The buildings differ, so the plan sorts them by use and exposure, and each one gets its own numbered roof plan, photo set and condition grade before any cost is attached. Hail has hit Iowa Park, Burkburnett, Electra and Sheppard AFB in past events, which is why exposed roofs get post-storm checks.
Consider the order: the first walk collects the facts, the second visit adds moisture readings where a leak has been reported, and the third pass converts the findings into a ranked plan. Each step builds on the one before it, so nothing is repeated and nothing is guessed. A simple test of a good program is whether a new manager could pick up the file tomorrow and know which roof to fix first.
Who uses the files
A facilities director uses the report to decide what to fix this month. A finance lead uses the plan to set next year's budget. A lender uses the survey to understand risk. An insurer uses the photos to see what changed after a storm. Each reads a different page of the same file, and the numbered roof plan ties them together. Step one is always the walk; the files follow from it. What it means for you is that one inspection serves four readers, and nobody has to rebuild the facts.
The heat is part of the record too. Wichita Falls logged 100 days at or above 100 degrees in 2011, so wear data from that kind of summer is worth keeping.
Commercial Roofing Questions
Where should an owner start?
With a condition report. The other files depend on it.
How often is the record updated?
After each visit, and after any severe-weather report.
Does a plan commit me to the work?
No. It is a ranked list with reasons.
Can the file go to a lender?
Yes. It is written so a lender or buyer can read it without us.
