For BELDON Roofing Company, doing a job right the first time means careful documentation from planning to completion certificate. Accurate records serve as your company’s institutional memory of a job well done. While we know the value of accurate roof records, we are sometimes surprised or dismayed that our customers seem not to know why they need to keep warranty papers, receipts, or inspection reports.

Paper or Silicon?

Only you could decide if paper records or computer data is better for your company. Suppose you contact BELDON® for flat roof maintenance. You can help us to complete our work faster if you have at your fingertips the following accurate records:

  • Type of roof system—Modified bitumen, EPDM, metal, TPO, PVC
  • Manufacturer’s name
  • Installation date
  • Warranty information
  • Name of roofing contractor
  • Square footage
  • Building dimensions—We can calculate running feet of perimeter flashing, coping or gravel stops
  • Dates of inspections or repairs
  • Details of previous repairs—Contractor, type of repair, extent of damage

Blueprints

Whether on a computer or with physical blueprints, have on hand your roof plan, and a plan of the floor beneath the roof. Use a copy to document areas of concern, previous flat roof maintenance or repair work, and as a reference sheet for accompanying photographs documenting flat roof maintenance, leaks and repairs. Some facilities managers find that drawing a grid on the plan makes record-keeping easier by keying photographs and written records to specific grid areas.

The plan of the floor below can be useful in documenting previous leaks, because an interior leak often makes itself known far from its source.

Warranties

Records should include dates and details of visitors to your building’s roof. This can help with keeping warranties in force. Not only do you show due diligence with flat roof maintenance in keeping tabs on HVAC contractors, satellite dish installers, plumbers and other foot traffic, you can eliminate these workers as possible sources of warranty-breaking roofing problems.

Especially important is to keep your warranty information, including invoices and any manufacturer-provided paperwork. Some warranties are in force longer than a typical employee may be with your business, so good roof records that do not rely on personal memory can save your company a lot of money 15 or 20 years in the future.
