Apartment roofs over occupied homes
Residents under every square foot
A roof leak in an apartment building is a damaged unit, a maintenance call and sometimes a relocation. Logging leaks by unit and date shows where the roof is actually failing.
Capital versus operating
Repairs and replacements show up in different parts of the budget and in lender and investor reports. Keep them separate in quotes so the numbers can be reported cleanly.
Resident communication
Written notice with dates, parking changes and daily cleanup expectations reduces complaints and damage claims during the work.

Questions from apartments and multifamily
How do we reduce tenant disruption during a re-roof?
Phase by building, give written notice with dates, protect parking and entries, and require daily cleanup in the contract.
Should repairs and replacements be budgeted separately?
Yes. Repairs are usually operating expenses; replacements are capital projects. Ask your accountant how to treat them.
How often should apartment roofs be inspected?
Spring and fall at a minimum, and after storms. Leak reports from residents are valuable data. Log them by unit and date.
