Find the governing boundary
Review declarations, bylaws, plats, maintenance responsibility, insurance structure, reserve plan, and prior board decisions with the appropriate qualified advisers. Do not infer responsibility from which unit sees a stain or which owner can access an attic.
Create one condition record
Map buildings, units, roof zones, common and limited-common areas, interior symptoms, prior repairs, and access. Use resident reports as dated observations and protect personal information. A shared index reduces duplicate inspections while preserving each unit's condition.
Define approval and communication
Identify who can request proposals, sign, approve changes, enter units, receive insurer communication, and authorize payment. Plan notice, parking, deliveries, noise, pets, balconies, landscaping, daily protection, and complaint response for occupied buildings.
Compare whole-property scope
Ask bidders to show phasing, repeated details, transitions between units, deck allowances, resident protection, permits, inspections, cleanup, warranty ownership, and future records. Keep excluded interior restoration and owner-responsible items visible at closeout.
Put the roof question into words
Have the property type, safe observation, date, and existing records ready. Ask the recipient to identify the company and confirm whether the address and roof concern fit its work.
