What the Program Includes
Semi-annual roof inspections: Two inspections per year, timed to Memphis's climate - a spring inspection after the wet season (typically May) to document any winter or spring storm damage, and a fall inspection before winter (typically October-November) to identify conditions that need correction before the December-February cold snap. Each inspection produces a written condition report with photo log, zone diagram, and a deficiency list with priority ratings (immediate, near-term, planned-cycle).
Condition database: Every roof in the portfolio is rated on a consistent 1-10 condition scale at each inspection, with the rating components documented (seam condition, flashing condition, drain condition, surface condition, insulation moisture estimate, deck condition at accessible points). The database accumulates year-over-year data so the asset manager can see whether individual roofs are holding condition or deteriorating, and at what rate.
Warranty maintenance tracking: Manufacturer NDL warranties require documented annual maintenance to remain valid. We track each roof's warranty status, maintenance requirements, and inspection due dates. When a warranty maintenance inspection is required by the manufacturer, we coordinate the inspection and file the documentation with the manufacturer. When a warranty claim situation arises, the maintenance file is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one.
Memphis Portfolio-Specific Considerations
Storm response integration: Memphis's position in the tornado and severe-storm corridor means portfolio managers need rapid post-event condition assessment after significant weather events. Our asset management clients get priority response after named storm events - we mobilize to inspect and report on every portfolio roof within 72 hours of a significant hail, wind, or tornado event. The inspection report is formatted for insurance documentation purposes, distinguishing pre-existing condition from event-related damage.
FedEx-corridor and Aerotropolis logistics portfolios: Distribution and logistics facility portfolios in the Aerotropolis zone surrounding Memphis International Airport have specific operating-constraint requirements for roof access and inspection scheduling - security badge requirements, dock and staging coordination, and 24/7 operational constraints that require off-peak inspection scheduling. We have established protocols for inspection scheduling in this environment and have credentialed personnel for secured facilities.
Medical and institutional portfolios: Memphis's Medical District and the broader institutional portfolio in the Methodist and Regional One Health networks require infection-control coordination for roof access on occupied clinical floors. Our inspectors are trained in hospital hot-work and infection-control protocols, and we coordinate inspection access with facilities directors in advance to
Program Enrollment and Pricing
Asset management programs are priced per-roof or per-square-foot-of-managed-area on an annual retainer basis, with the retainer covering semi-annual inspections, database maintenance, warranty tracking, and the annual capital reserve report. Emergency response and repair work is billed separately at program-client rates, which are lower than one-off project rates. Program clients also receive priority scheduling on replacement projects, which matters when Memphis's spring weather window creates contractor scheduling pressure in March through May.
We structure enrollment conversations around a portfolio audit: a review of existing roof records, warranty documents, and any prior inspection reports to establish a condition baseline before the program begins. For portfolios with no existing documentation, the initial audit includes a condition assessment of every roof in the portfolio - this becomes the baseline data that all subsequent inspection cycles measure against.
