One of the questions we were asked recently:
"When I'm taking over a new property, what roofing information should I ask for?"
It's one that can save you from inheriting expensive surprises.
Before you take over a building, make sure you know:
✔️ The age and type of the roof
✔️ Any repair or maintenance history
✔️ Warranty information
✔️ The date of the last known evaluation
✔️ Whether there are any known problem areas or active leaks
Having this information gives you a much better picture of the roof's condition and helps you plan for future maintenance instead of reacting to emergencies.
David Guinn walks through what to ask for and why each piece of information matters.
If you receive roofing records and aren't sure what they mean, or you're missing key information, give our team a call. We're happy to help you make sense of it and point you in the right direction.
