RoofSMART™
RoofSMART™ empowers building owners and managers with the insight, tools, and support to make informed roofing decisions—backed by data, driven by strategy, and protected by performance.
What is RoofSMART™?
RoofSMART™ is a cutting-edge Roof Asset Management and Procurement Program designed to give building owners and property managers complete control over the lifecycle of their roofing systems. Whether you’re managing one facility or a multi-site portfolio, RoofSMART™ brings clarity to complex roofing needs—ensuring every dollar is well spent and every square foot is protected.
Educates Building Owners
Clear data, strong decisions. RoofSMART™ transforms complex roof management into an informed, strategic process. Through detailed assessments, categorized condition ratings, and visual CAD documentation, building owners and facility managers gain a crystal-clear understanding of each roof’s health, lifespan, and budgetary needs—empowering smarter capital planning and facility forecasting.
Saves on Long-Term Costs
Plan better, spend smarter. Avoid emergency expenses and inefficient repairs by proactively managing your roofing portfolio. RoofSMART’s™ 5-year strategic action plans reduce reactive maintenance, extend roof life, and create predictable budget cycles—ultimately saving thousands in unnecessary costs and material inflation over time.
Shifts Liability to Vendors
Protect your interests, not theirs. Our proprietary Performance Warranty model ensures contractors and manufacturers are held accountable—not you. RoofSMART™ realigns responsibility where it belongs, minimizing your legal and financial risk by using vetted vendors and clear deliverables, all backed by service metrics and warranty compliance oversight.
1. A complete roof assessment is performed
Each roof section or facility is thoroughly inspected by Moisture Management and assigned one of seven different condition categories. All defects found are photographed and noted, along with recording basic information about roof type, age, manufacturer, and other relevant details. A CAD roof plan is created and all the photos and roof information details are loaded into an online database available to customers through RoofADVISOR.
2. A 5 year strategic plan is developed
Based on the results from the roof assessment, a 5 year action and budget plan is created, separated into three major categories:
- Preventive Maintenance: the budgetary costs of performing necessary maintenance and inspections to keep warranties valid, prevent small issues from becoming bigger ones, and replacing worn sealants and caulking.
- Repair/Restoration: the budgetary costs of repairing the defects found during inspection, along with any significant restoration needs, such as coatings, replacing flashings, etc.
- Recover/Replacement: budgetary plan for roof replacements, if necessary, that take into account inflation of materials, priority of the space below them, and the observed failure rate of the roof (based on age and professional experience).
3. Executive strategy meeting
The 5 year strategic plan is presented to all relevant management, finance, and other involved parties to fine-tune the budget plan, set up implementation schedules, and discuss contractor selection.

What’s Included in ROOFSMART™ Services
What’s RoofSMART™ Designed to Accomplish?
RoofSMART™ was created to solve the most common and costly challenges building owners and managers face when dealing with commercial roofing. By rethinking how roofs are assessed, maintained, and procured, RoofSMART™ offers a smarter, data-backed alternative to the traditional guesswork and risk-laden processes.
Reduce Risk on Roof Projects
Transfer liability away from your organization. One of the most critical issues in traditional roofing projects is misplaced accountability. Too often, the burden of roof performance falls on the building owner or school district. RoofSMART™ flips this script. Through our exclusive RoofSMART™ Performance Warranty, liability for workmanship and material performance shifts to the manufacturer and contractor—where it belongs. This protects your investment, reduces your legal exposure, and ensures that vendors are held to measurable standards.
Reduce Leak Repair Costs
Prevent emergencies, control service budgets. Leak repair is one of the most frequent—and expensive—roof-related challenges. RoofSMART™ members enjoy discounted, fixed-rate leak service calls handled by pre-qualified, certified contractors. More importantly, all service metrics are tracked and analyzed to ensure contractors respond quickly and perform to expectations. You’ll receive detailed photo reports, faster turnaround, and fewer surprises on your balance sheet.
Provide Long-Term Strategy
Think years ahead, not just days ahead. Reactive maintenance is costly. RoofSMART™ eliminates this reactive model by developing a detailed 5-year strategic roofing plan for each facility. This plan includes prioritized actions across three categories: Preventive Maintenance, Repair/Restoration, and Recovery/Replacement. By knowing what’s needed, when, and how much it will cost, your team can make better budgeting decisions and reduce costly surprises. Plus, our cloud-based tracking system keeps all the data in one accessible place.
Boost Your Purchasing Power
Get better pricing through collective leverage. As a RoofSMART™ member, you gain access to a powerful group purchasing model. Roof replacements and capital projects are bid collectively and individually, allowing you to benefit from lower pricing per square foot—without sacrificing the freedom to choose your preferred vendor. This process encourages competitive pricing, bulk material savings, and greater negotiating power, all while keeping decision-making in your hands.
RoofSMART™ wasn’t designed to sell you a roof—it was built to give you control over an essential, expensive asset that’s too often neglected until it fails. With measurable results, real accountability, and total transparency, RoofSMART™ is changing how smart organizations manage their roofing systems.
Drone Surveys
Moisture Management has a licensed FAA UAS (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) pilot on-staff to conduct drone flights for investigative, surveying, or measurement purposes. Our drone has a 4K camera to capture high-definition video and still images, allowing us to inspect hard-to-access areas quickly and safely. In addition, using 3D modeling software, we can create a 360 degree model of a building, which we can use to take accurate measurements, plot rooftop equipment, and record elevation changes.
The drone division helps save our customers money as well, especially when there is a need to inspect a building component that is high off the ground, in an inaccessible area, or in an area that foot traffic is not advised. For example, on a multi-story building, using the drone can eliminate the need to rent an expensive man-lift. Another example would be the surveying of glass skylights or slate roofing that can be damaged during the inspection by the weight of foot traffic.
