[heading-style-h4]Why records matter after roof work[heading-style-h4]

‍

A roof issue months or years later is harder to evaluate if nobody knows when drains were cleaned, whether penetrations changed, or what repairs were made. Documentation helps separate maintenance gaps, trade damage, storm effects, and material or installation concerns.

Warranty terms vary, so the safe approach is to keep records without assuming what will be covered.

[heading-style-h4]What maintenance records should include[heading-style-h4]

‍

A strong roof record should be simple, repeatable, and photo-supported.

‍

• Inspection dates and roof areas checked.
• Drain, scupper, gutter, and debris notes.
• Photos of seams, flashings, penetrations, and repairs.
• Work done by roofers or other rooftop trades.
• Open recommendations and follow-up dates.
