The problem with roofs at portfolio scale

One roof is a maintenance item. Fifteen are a coordination problem: tenants who report a stain three weeks late or not at all, three contractors with three invoice formats, an owner asking what that $700 was for, and a leak in Booneville the same week as one in Stanton. The failure mode is always the same — small deferred problems compounding into big capital ones. Our program exists to compress that: one contact, one standard, one paper trail. You get the roofs off your desk without losing visibility into them, which is the part most managers actually care about. After region-wide events — the wind and hail days NWS Jackson (weather.gov/jkl) logs — that visibility is the difference between triage and chaos.

How the program works

Simple mechanics. We hold a property list for your portfolio. Routine work — inspections, gutter cleaning, seasonal checks from our maintenance calendar — gets batched by geography so you’re not paying travel time on every visit. Repairs get ranged estimates before work, standing approval thresholds if you want them (say, anything under a set amount proceeds without a call), and consolidated invoicing. Emergencies jump the queue on the same emergency line as everyone else. No long-term contract required to start; the program earns its keep or it doesn’t.

Per-unit photo reports

Every visit produces a photo report tied to the unit address: what we found, what we did, what we recommend watching. Managers forward them to owners as-is — the report answers the invoice before it’s questioned. Over time the file becomes each roof’s history, which pays off twice: repair decisions stop being guesses, and when a property sells, a documented maintenance record is genuinely worth money. Disclosure where it’s relevant: owner Marcos Gil is also a licensed REALTOR® (marcosgilrealty.com), so if a portfolio conversation turns into a disposition conversation, that interest is on the table from the start.

The tenant-coordination reality

Tenant scheduling is where portfolio maintenance actually breaks down, so we handle it directly: we contact the tenant, set the window, show up identified and expected, and document the visit — you’re copied, not conscripted. We’re used to the realities: no-answer units, dogs, day-sleepers, tenants who mention four other problems at the door (they go in the report, not on your invoice). Exterior work often needs no entry at all, and we say so rather than forcing appointments. Clear communication with tenants is also leak prevention — a tenant who knows who we are reports the stain in week one, not month three.

What it costs and how to start

Program pricing is the same repair-first pricing on our cost guide — batching saves travel, and those savings show up in batched-visit rates rather than a membership fee. Costs are quoted per portfolio because unit count, geography, and roof mix genuinely change the number; ranges are dated when we quote them. Starting is one conversation: send your property list, or even just the three units you worry about, to (859) 310-1209. First step on any new portfolio is a baseline condition pass with photo reports, so decisions start from facts. The maintenance plan page covers the recurring-visit structure.

Common Questions

Do you require a contract or minimum number of properties?

No minimum and no long-term contract to start. Landlords with two rentals use the program the same way managers with forty units do. The batching economics improve with density — units in the same town share travel — but the reporting and single-line coordination work at any scale. If it stops earning its place, leave; the exit process is a phone call.

Can you work directly with my owners for approvals?

We default to one chain of command — you — because split approval channels are how work stalls and invoices get disputed. If you want owners looped in on specific properties, we’ll copy them on reports and estimates. Standing approval thresholds, set by you in writing, keep small repairs moving without a phone tree.

What about roofs outside your normal service area?

Our corridor runs roughly Lexington to the Gorge — Lee, Powell, Wolfe, Estill, Owsley, Breathitt, and the Madison County edges (see service areas). A portfolio with an outlier unit or two nearby is usually workable in a batch; a portfolio centered outside the corridor generally isn’t. Send the list and we’ll answer honestly.

See the recurring structure on the maintenance plan page, or the board version at HOA & multi-building communities. Individual fixes run through the standard roof repair process, documented per unit.
