How property managers can prioritize roof repairs across sites

Consistent findings make it easier to compare properties. Record active leaks, observed damage, site access and what needs a return visit.

Use consistent criteria for each property, including active leaks, access issues and how quickly a decision is needed. Keep the supporting photos with each action so the budget conversation can start with the observed condition.

Consistency makes comparison possible

When you manage several properties, consistent findings make it easier to decide where to spend first.

Record the same things at each site

• Active leaks and their locations.
• Observed damage.
• Roof system and approximate age.
• Access and safety considerations.
• What needs a return visit.

Use criteria

Define simple criteria such as active leak, safety concern, repeated repair or aging roof. Rank sites against those criteria.

Review regularly
