Roof Asset Management for Facility Portfolios
For owners and facility managers with more than one roof: a program that puts every roof you own on one list, ranks them by condition, and tells you what each will need and cost over the next ten years — so the roof budget is decided in a planning meeting, not after a leak.
What roof asset management is
Know what you have before it fails.
Roof asset management treats your roofs the way you already treat HVAC, fleet and paving: as assets with a known condition, a remaining life and a replacement cost. It is for school districts, hospital systems, municipalities, manufacturers and property managers with three roofs or three hundred. One program, one point of contact.
What a program includes
Five pieces, delivered once a year.
- 01
Roof inventory
Every roof on every building: system, square footage, install year, warranty holder and expiration, drainage, rooftop equipment. Built from your records and our warranty files, verified on the roof.
- 02
Condition assessment
A walk of every roof with core cuts where the history is unknown. Membrane, seams, flashings, drains, penetrations and edge metal photographed and scored.
- 03
Priority ranking
Roofs sorted by what fails first, what costs most if it fails and what is over the building. A leaking roof over a server room ranks above a worse roof over a parking structure.
- 04
Ten-year budget forecast
Year-by-year numbers for repair, restoration and replacement, with the restore-versus-replace case made for each roof. Updated every cycle so the forecast stays current.
- 05
Documentation
One report per roof, one summary per portfolio. Warranties, inspection photos, repair history and the forecast — yours to hand to a board, a lender or your successor.
Maintenance and warranty records
The program runs on records.
Asset management is only as good as the paperwork behind it. Three things tie it together.
- Maintenance feeds the condition score
- Roofs on our maintenance program are inspected and cleared twice a year. Those inspections update the condition score and catch the small repairs that can add 3 to 5+ years of life to a roof.
- Warranty records set the clock
- We hold the Duro-Last warranty for 1,900+ roofs. The issue date on each is the start of its clock; the program tracks remaining warranty on every roof so you never find out a claim window closed last year.
- Repair history is evidence
- Every repair we make is logged against the roof. A roof with four repairs in two years ranks differently from one with none — and that history is what makes the restore-versus-replace call defensible.
Roof Asset Management Questions
How many roofs do I need for a program to make sense?
Three or more. Below that, our maintenance program covers the same ground. Above thirty, the ranking and forecast are the only practical way to budget.
Do you have to be our roofer to run the program?
No. We assess and forecast roofs we did not install — most portfolios are a mix. You decide who does the work the forecast calls for.
What does it cost?
It depends on roof count and square footage. Many clients fold the assessment into their maintenance agreement; call (563) 242-6939 with a building count and we will give you a number.
