Frequently asked questions

What should I look for when inspecting the roof condition?

Focus on damaged or missing shingles, rusted flashing around chimneys and vents, and clogged gutters. Check for signs of water damage like stains on the ceiling below. Regular roof inspections can prevent leaks that might damage interior structures and lead to costly repairs, especially after severe weather events.

How can I use this checklist to reduce long-term maintenance costs?

Use the checklist to establish maintenance patterns and identify recurring issues that might indicate deeper problems. Track repair frequency and costs associated with specific building components to make informed decisions about replacements versus repairs. Preventive maintenance identified through regular inspections typically costs 15-30% less than reactive repairs.

What’s the best approach for inspecting vacant vs. occupied properties?

For vacant properties, check for security vulnerabilities, water intrusion, and pest activity more frequently. In occupied properties, coordinate with tenants to access all areas and pay special attention to high-use systems like plumbing fixtures and appliances. Occupied properties benefit from tenant feedback about subtle changes they’ve noticed.
