Service for Columbus commercial properties
A roof asset management program is a structured, recurring engagement — not a one-time inspection. Our program covers every building in your Columbus roof inventory on a documented inspection cadence, maintains your manufacturer warranties with the annual inspections those warranties require, and builds the condition record that makes replacement planning defensible.
Commercial roofs fail reactively when no one is watching them systematically. Columbus's climate — 28-plus freeze-thaw cycles per winter, summer rooftop surface temperatures pushing 160°F on dark membranes, and the tornado-corridor wind events that Franklin County has recorded in recent years — produces incremental damage that is invisible from the ground and expensive when it presents as a tenant-reported ceiling stain or an emergency weekend call. The buildings in our active asset management program do not surprise their owners. We saw the failing flashing termination at the spring inspection. We flagged the partially blocked drain at the October walkthrough. We documented the blister field that needed repair before it became an open seam.

Service decisions are tied to leak history, roof age, membrane condition, drainage, tenant sensitivity, access, and the capital plan behind the property.
The next step is a repair scope, replacement budget, coating review, maintenance schedule, bid package, moisture survey, or immediate leak response plan.
Questions
Program pricing is based on building count, total roof area, membrane system type, and inspection frequency. A single Columbus commercial building on a semi-annual inspection schedule with warranty maintenance filing and drain clearing typically runs $2,000 to $4,500 per year depending on roof area and system complexity. Multi-building Columbus portfolios are priced at a roof inventory rate. The annual program cost is typically recovered in the first avoided emergency repair — one avoided winter emergency on a Columbus commercial building commonly runs $8,000 to $30,000.
Yes. We enroll buildings regardless of who installed the original roof. The enrollment process starts with a baseline inspection that documents the current condition, identifies the warranty status and any maintenance backlog, and establishes the starting condition record. Subsequent annual inspections build on that baseline. We enroll buildings in active manufacturer warranty periods as well as post-warranty buildings — the inspection cadence and documentation value is the same in both cases.
Conditions found during inspection are documented in the inspection report with a severity classification: immediate action required, action within 30 days, planned maintenance within 6 months, and monitor at next inspection. Immediate and 30-day items generate a separate written repair scope and proposal. We do not perform repairs without a separate written authorization from the building owner or facility manager. The inspection report and the repair scope are separate documents — the inspection is never used as leverage to bundle unapproved repair work.
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.
