Superintendents of schools, property managers, and facility managers carry a big responsibility in overseeing their facility’s roofing. As such, it’s important for them to know details about their properties—or at least have access to answers quickly. Yet oftentimes, that important information is not known, and answers are hard to find.

In this case, the old adage fits: knowledge is power. The more you know, the more you can manage your roofing portfolio well, which can save you money in the end. If you are a Superintendent of schools, facility manager, or property manager, here are a list of questions that you need to know the answers to:

  • How many roofs do you have?
  • How many square feet of roof per building do you have (and in total)?
  • How old is each roof?
  • What type of roofing systems are on your buildings?
  • What manufacturer provided your roofing systems?
  • Are your roof systems under warranty?
  • Who were your installing contractors?
  • How much money have you spent on roof leaks?
  • How much money have you spent on maintenance?
  • How much money have you spent on re-roofing projects?
  • What is the condition of each roof?
  • What is an accurate budget for maintenance and capital expenditures this year? Next year?
  • How much money have you saved by being proactive with a roof maintenance program?
  • How much extra money have you spent by not being proactive about maintenance?
  • What is the average life expectancy of your roofs?

If you struggle to answer these questions or aren’t sure where to find the answers, there is an easy solution. All of this information—and more—is available to you and your staff with an easy-to-use website portal when you work with Moisture Management to audit, inventory, and manage your roofing portfolio.
