What Should You Keep in Your Roofing File?

Keeping a comprehensive roofing file is crucial for the efficient management and upkeep of your roofing system. It’s a vital tool in tracking the history, maintenance, and warranties of your roof, ensuring all the necessary information is readily available when needed. Read on to discover things to keep in your roofing file.

Keep Roofing Warranties

At the heart of a well-organized roofing file are the warranties. Reputable roofers offer two types of warranties, one for labor and another for material. Warranties usually cover roof damage resulting from improper installation and defective products. If roofing issues arise, having these warranty documents can save you time and money.

Roof Inspection Document Records

Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to your roof’s longevity. Every time your contractor assesses your roof, they should provide you with a detailed report of the system’s condition. Inspection records can serve as a valuable reference for future roofing work.

Roof Repair Receipts and Roof Details

Documenting all repair and maintenance activities is another critical aspect of your roofing file. It should include receipts, detailed descriptions of the work performed, dates, and any guarantees for repair work. Keeping this information helps in tracking the roof’s maintenance history. Also, proper maintenance is usually necessary to keep roofing warranties valid. If you file a warranty claim, you’ll find inspection and maintenance records helpful.

Roofer’s Contact Details

Your roofing file should also contain the contact information of the professionals who worked on your roof. If your roof needs maintenance or emergency repairs, you no longer have to worry about finding a reliable contractor since you already know who to call.
