As participants of tomorrow’s CAI Austin Conference, it’s the perfect time to review the ways in which a roofing partner can benefit property managers. Because managing the roofing needs of residential communities and multi-unit properties – be it a homeowners association (HOAs), community association (COAs), or property management teams – involves many unique challenges, a reputable roofing company can provide critical advantages that simplify maintenance, reduce costs, and protect property values over time. Let’s review:
Effective Reserve Studies
Partner with a roofing company can benefit budget planning in four main ways:
- Preventing major disruptions for residents and expensive property surprises.
- Helping to get next year’s budget approved and avoid budget shortfalls.
- Providing realistic dollar amounts for future roof replacements years in advance.
- Minimizing downtime after roof damage by allocating funds for repairs beforehand.
The key to effective budget planning for reserve studies is regular maintenance. And thus, our support for promoting effective reserve studies begins with regular maintenance. We provide automated scheduling – proactively track storm events and inspections so your property is cared for, effortlessly. In addition, we provide minor repairs, which are completed automatically within the organization’s pre-set budget. Gutter and debris cleaning, which prevents water backup, freeze damage, and tree rub is also part of our regular maintenance process with optional add-ons like solar panel cleaning can improve energy ROI.
Emergency Mitigation
As soon as a leak is detected, it should be repaired. Partnering with a roofing company means your emergency leak response is immediate. Why is this important? Because quicker leak response will:
- Mitigate further damage from water intrusion, like mold and structural deterioration.
- Lower risk and cost with quick action to minimize leak impact and long-term cost.
- Protect your insurance claim by taking reasonable steps to prevent additional damage. Delaying repair response can reduce or void coverage of the damage.
- Minimize repair costs by catching leaks early to avoid major reconstruction. Plus, it helps you avoid full roof replacement when a repair will suffice.
For emergency leak response services, as a partner of property managers, we provide rapid response every day of the week with on-site assessment and conduct a detailed inspection to identify water entry points. Afterwards, we provide full documentation with photos and notes for insurance records. Once the source of the leak or leaks is identified, we provide emergency repairs. This immediate stabilization of the affected area to prevent further water intrusion, including, tarping, sealing, TPO loose-lay, caulking, patching, and leak containment will provide a temporary protection until a full repair or replacement can be completed.
The clear estimates, itemized damage reports, repair history, invoices, and image evidence compiled during assessment and repairs are provided to assist with any insurance claims. And when needed, we are happy to provide full coordination with insurance adjusters to make the insurance claims process as smooth as possible.
If immediate restoration isn’t required, we provide a detailed action plan and estimate for board or ownership approval. Plus, we’ll provide ongoing support for insurance questions, follow-up visits, and full restoration services. Regardless of the route you emergency needs take, we’ll working closely with associations and property managers, we understand the different parties’ responsibilities and coordinate with all involved.
Professional Insurance Claims Support
Speaking of insurance, it can be a complicated process requiring a lot of back and forth. That’s why it’s imperative to partner with a roofer who understands the process. Professional claims support provides expert advocacy, clear communication and ultimately maximum coverage. How? Accurate scope can be confirmed by documenting and presenting the full extent of damage, ensuring nothing is missed or underpaid. This ultimately simplifies the claims process with support for HOAs, COAs and multi-unit proper- ties with clarification and coordination when submitting a roof insurance claim.
To begin our support for claims, we provide detailed inspections with photo evidence and identification of full repair scope, including less visible but critical components, like flashing and underlayment. Plus, reports formatted to meet insurance standards. We also coordinate between associations and individual unit owners when damage spans multiple parties. And ensure everyone involved has the proper documentation and direction to support their claim.
When it comes to insurance adjusters, we will meet with them on-site to walk through damage and explain the real-world implications of partial repairs; advocating for full-scope repair or replacement when justified, i.e. more cost-effective and compliant. And provide guidance on what’s covered and required., ensuring that all work is completed to current building code. Then we’ll automatically send invoices and documentation directly to your insurance carrier. If you hit any snags, we can provide access to our trusted extended network including public adjusters, claims attorneys, and specialists to avoid underpayment, delays, or denials.
