Keep condition notes, measurements and photos attached to the address.
ROOF ASSET MANAGEMENT
Stop losing the roof history every time a vendor or employee changes.
Give every property one living roof record for inspections, repairs, proposals, warranties, completion files and future capital planning. The address keeps the memory even when the people change.

The expensive part is not storing a PDF. It is discovering too late that nobody knows what happened to the roof.
A manager leaves. A roofer changes. A warranty disappears into an inbox. The next leak starts with everyone reconstructing the same property from scratch.

Know what still applies.
Find the coverage before paying somebody to solve the same problem twice.
Know what is coming.
Use property history to support budgeting and replacement timing before the emergency.
THE HANDOFF TEST
Could a new manager understand this roof in five minutes?
If the answer depends on calling the old manager, searching three inboxes and asking a vendor what they remember, the property does not really have a roof record.
