Don’t be one of those managers whose roof requires replacement before reaching its design life, or for whom emergency repairs are needed at the worst time. In short, don’t neglect good roofs and doom them to early failure. Periodic inspection and maintenance of roofing assets are the most important elements of a successful roof-management program.
One recommended strategy might be described as "top down, bottom up." Managers can succeed more quickly by focusing on roofs in the worst condition — those at the top of the priority list — while still attending to those at the bottom of the list — those in good condition and performing well.
The strategy calls for directing most available funds toward putting out immediate emergencies, such as severe leaks. At the same time, some funds also must go toward prolonging the life of newer roofs. Only by pro actively maintaining your roofing systems can you reduce the service life maintenance expenses and increase the lifespan of your roof, thus increasing your return on investment.
Using this two-pronged approach, you can ensure roofs in your portfolio do not need to be replaced prematurely.
