‘Educated Guess’, ‘Shot in the Dark’: Property Owners, Managers, and representatives alike have used these exact terms in describing their gut level feeling when finally arriving at the bottom line figure for the next year’s roofing budget. That is perfectly understandable given the fact that roof is constantly evolving and roof budgeting is not an exact science.
A common approach is to look at last year’s expenses and add 10% to 15%. But those nagging questions about each of your property’s roofs still beg for hard answers
- Exactly what type and how many roofs are on each property?
- Will the pace of needed repairs accelerate and how fast?
- Are certain areas of the roof experiencing greater problems than others?
- Were previously repaired leaks located in the field or at the flashings?
- Is there trouble brewing up there and can it be prevented?
- How many years will our roof last?
- How much should we budget for emergency repairs?
- How much should we budget for preventative maintenance, if necessary?
- How much should we budget for roof replacement, if necessary?
