Capability for Columbus commercial properties
The foundation is an initial baseline inspection. Before we can manage an asset, we need a current condition snapshot: roof zone diagram, membrane system identification, age estimate, warranty status (active, lapsed, or unknown), drain count and condition, and a photograph log of existing anomalies. This baseline becomes the 'year zero' entry in the building's roof maintenance history.
Annual inspection follows the same roof zone diagram and photo protocol as the baseline — same zones, same drain locations, same penetration groups. The comparison between the current-year report and the prior year isolates new anomalies from pre-existing conditions. A crack in flashing mastic that was two inches in last year's report and is now six inches is a finding that warrants repair. A seam blister that has not grown in two years may warrant continued monitoring. Trend data converts observations into decisions.

Owner-side support is centered on defensible roof information: photos, measurements, moisture findings, repair history, bid assumptions, and budget timing.
The output is written so owners can compare options, defend budgets, manage procurement, and keep roof information useful after the immediate decision is made.
Questions
There is no fixed limit. We manage portfolios from three buildings to extensive commercial roofing work in the Columbus metro. Larger portfolios are structured as phased inspection schedules — buildings in the final years of their warranty terms are inspected first, followed by buildings approaching mid-life, followed by newer buildings. Contact us to discuss a structure appropriate for your roof inventory.
Yes. We can take over annual inspection and warranty compliance management for buildings where the original contractor is no longer active, has been replaced, or where the building ownership has changed. We will review the warranty certificate to confirm its current status, conduct a baseline condition inspection, and begin the annual compliance cycle from there. Some manufacturer warranties require approval of a new managing contractor — we handle that process.
It is a per-building table showing current roof area, estimated remaining service life based on condition data, projected replacement cost at current Columbus market rates, and the year range when replacement is most likely to be required. For multi-building portfolios, it rolls up into a roof inventory-level view showing projected capital needs by year. We update it annually with each inspection cycle. It is not a guarantee — it is a defensible projection based on documented condition data.
Share the building address, roof history, current concern, timing, and access constraints. We will give you a practical next step for inspection, repair, maintenance, coating, or replacement planning.
