Your condo association should have regular roof reports done on your properties in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Plantation, Tamarac, Pompano Beach, Broward County, FL, and the surrounding areas, and there should be some minimum information that HOA boards and condo boards should be looking for. Along with the age of the roof, estimated remaining useful life, and other items, your roof inspection report from Commercial Roofing Industries will also provide you with other details. These details are crucial for your long-term planning as well as understanding what items should be addressed quickly to maintain the integrity of the roof on the building. And having these roof inspection reports done regularly will ensure that any insurance claims will be paid properly as you have done your due diligence in keeping the roof in good condition and addressing any issues when they are documented.

Planning For the Future
If you had your building roof replaced 10 years ago, and you expect to get 25 years of life out of it, then your roof inspection report should indicate that there is about 15 years of useful life left in it. If your report shows that you only have about 5 years of useful life left, that would be concerning and the board should take steps to address this hastening of roof replacement. It should also prompt conversations about maintenance issues and repairs that might extend the life of the roof by a few additional years.
Board members should understand the various documentation associated with the roof inspection report. Knowing what it means that the roof membrane has tears in it, or that there is penetration in the material, or that the drainage system is not functioning as it should is important so that the proper actions can be taken in a timely manner.
Budgeting For Repairs and Eventual Replacement
Just because you got a new roof last year doesn’t mean that you won’t have repairs to handle. Budgeting for roof repairs is important, and while you may not have the budget for all of the recommended repairs, being able to prioritize those repairs is important for the longevity of the roof. And of course, setting aside funds for the eventual replacement of the roof is also important, and being able to flex that fund for real conditions of the roof is a key in ensuring your roof will not fail at the worst possible time.
Your condo roof inspection report in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Plantation, Tamarac, Pompano Beach, Broward County, FL, and the surrounding areas will include a number of things, including pictures to help identify problem areas and recommendations for various repairs to help keep your roof functioning as it should.
