Keeping a solid and waterproof roof over the heads of your residents is one of the most important jobs of a property manager. This task does not mean just repairing a roof when it starts to leak or otherwise show signs of wear. It also means taking a proactive approach to the whole process. Here are some reasons to have the roof of your condo or apartment complex inspected in the near future.
Proactive Troubleshooting
Your first priority as custodian of the real estate asset is to make sure that it remains in good physical condition. Having an experienced roofing contractor “walk your roof” will let you know about any current problems — and also any potential ones. It is far more cost effective to resolve these issues in their early stages than later. In addition, your building is not subjected to any collateral damage from water or wind.
Qualifying Your Projections
No matter how good your maintenance routine, a roof will eventually have to be replaced. It is your responsibility as a property manager to keep abreast of this situation and be able to provide accurate cost estimates to your company or the condo board. Allowing a professional roofing company to provide a current estimate for roof replacement will allow you to make a more informed decision. Make sure that the roofing company you choose has qualified expertise and experience in commercial and flat roofing systems.
Assessing Your Roof With an Inspection
Any reputable roofing company will be more than happy to inspect your roof and advise you on its current condition. Do not expect anything less. The roofing companies that last and are successful are the ones who work to build relationships with their clients over the years and not just for one project.
