How Our Roofing Evaluation Process Works
Our roof evaluations are designed to pinpoint any vulnerabilities that could lead to water damage or roof failure. Our goal is to catch potential issues early, before they result in costly damage.
Here’s a breakdown of our thorough process:
- Preliminary Visual Roof Inspections
The first step in our evaluation process is to conduct a brief visual inspection of your roof. Our team notes any visible vulnerabilities with photographs, and we’ll recommend whether further investigation or actions are necessary. This proactive approach helps prevent costly repairs down the road. - Phase 1 – Roofing Condition Survey
Once we’ve completed a preliminary inspection, we move into the Roofing Condition Survey phase. This in-depth, comprehensive assessment allows us to evaluate your roof’s overall condition, including its structural integrity and weatherproofing. We then compile the data into a detailed written report, including relevant photographs, inspection maps, and conceptual budgets for necessary maintenance actions. The report also provides cost estimates for any immediate repairs or replacement needs, helping you make informed decisions. - Phase 2 – Repair Specifications and Bid Documents
If your roof needs repairs or replacement, we prepare comprehensive bid documents. These documents include a detailed scope of work, technical specifications, and compliance with building codes to ensure that the project meets all required standards. We also conduct a sealed bid process with experienced contractors, ensuring transparency and accuracy, so you can make an informed decision when selecting a contractor. - Phase 3 – Project Management
Once you’ve chosen a contractor, we stay involved throughout the project to ensure it runs smoothly. We prepare any necessary documents for permit approval and ensure that the work meets the specifications included in our scope of work and Florida Building Code. Our team also monitors the progress of the work, conducting regular inspections to ensure that it adheres to manufacturers’ installation instructions. We review contractor payment requests to ensure compliance with Florida Statute 713 and approve final payment once all work is completed to your satisfaction. - Consultation and Preventative Maintenance
In addition to overseeing repairs and replacements, our team provides ongoing consultations to help you prioritize necessary repairs, assess costs, and plan for preventative maintenance. By investing in regular upkeep, you can extend the life of your roof and avoid unexpected expenses. We’ll help you make informed decisions about the best strategies for maintaining your roof’s performance over time.
