As a property manager, you are responsible for keeping the building safe and habitable for the tenants. You should choose an experienced residential roofing contractor to regularly inspect the roof.

Make sure to ask these questions before hiring a roofing company for your apartment building.
How much experience do you have working on larger properties?
Roofing work for commercial properties, multi-unit rental properties and condominiums is typically more extensive and complex than small roofing companies are used to handling. This means the project can take longer to complete for less experienced workers. Extended completion times bring more hassle to residents and a higher probability of inclement weather delays.
What type of warranties are available?
Unlike homes that may have different owners every few years, condominiums and apartment complexes usually have long-term owners, so warranties have longer validity. You may experience roofing issues several years after installation, especially if you’re living in an area that’s prone to weather extremes.
Never hire roofers without a license, business address and regular business number. Also, consider how long a company has been in business and ask them for referrals from past clients. Keep in mind that factory-certified roofing contractors can provide you with more comprehensive warranties.
What ongoing services can you provide when the roof needs repairs and maintenance?
The roof can suffer damage from accidents, bad weather and simple wear and tear due to aging. You may end up paying more for repairs when damage isn’t addressed immediately. Ask your roofing contractor if they provide maintenance plans, including a detailed report of any issues they find. You can then take the report to the owners so they are aware of what needs to be done.
