Maintaining a building’s roof is a significant aspect of property management. An essential tool in this process is a well-maintained roofing file. This file acts as a comprehensive record of the roof’s history, serving as a reference point for roof repair, maintenance, and warranties. In this blog post, we list down what documents a building owner or property manager should keep handy in their roofing file.
Warranty documents are a cornerstone of your roofing file. These documents contain details about the coverage provided for your roofing materials and workmanship. They outline the terms, duration, and limitations of the warranty, which are vital in case roofing issues arise. Keeping these documents safe ensures you have proof of coverage, which is essential for a warranty claim.
Regular inspection reports are another key component of a comprehensive roofing file. These reports, ideally conducted by professionals, offer insights into the current state of your roof. They should detail the condition of the roofing material, any issues found, and recommendations for maintenance, repairs, or even a possible roof replacement. Consistent inspection reports help in tracking the roof’s health and can be critical in making informed maintenance decisions.
Documenting every repair made to your roof is critical. These records should include the date of the repair, a description of the work done, the materials used, and the costs involved. Repair records provide a historical account of the roof’s condition over time, which can be invaluable for diagnosing recurring problems and planning future maintenance.
