RoofLedger Baseline
The record your roof never had
A RoofLedger Baseline turns a roof into a documented asset: what it is, what condition it is in, what it will cost over five years, and what to do first. It is the foundation of every other service we perform.
| Zone | System | Finding | Severity | Action | Horizon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZONE 3 | TPO | SEAM SEPARATION AT DRAIN | HIGH | REPAIR | 0–30 DAYS |
| ZONE 1 | TPO | PONDING AT NORTH BAY | MODERATE | DRAINAGE REVIEW | 0–90 DAYS |
| ZONE 4 | EPDM | SPLIT AT CURB FLASHING | HIGH | REPAIR | 0–30 DAYS |
| ZONE 2 | METAL | FASTENER BACK-OUT, SOUTH SLOPE | MODERATE | MAINTENANCE | 12 MONTHS |
| ZONE 5 | PVC | SEALANT FATIGUE AT PENETRATIONS | LOW | MONITOR | 12–36 MONTHS |
| ZONE 6 | TPO | MEMBRANE AT END OF SERVICE LIFE | MODERATE | CAPITAL PLAN | 3–5 YEARS |
Findings are visual and non-destructive. Concealed conditions are noted as limitations in every record.
Qualification
What a baseline requires
We confirm three things before scheduling so the assessment produces a usable record rather than a partial one.
A qualified asset
A commercial, multifamily or residential roof in the Kansas City metro.
Safe access
A compliant path to the roof surface on the scheduled date.
A decision-maker
A named person who receives the record and can act on it.
Deliverable
Everything in the record
01
Executive summary
One page a decision-maker can act on: condition, exposure, and the recommended next step.
02
Asset profile
Building data, roof areas, systems, estimated age, access notes and rooftop equipment.
03
Roof plan
A marked plan with zones, drains, penetrations and the location of every finding.
04
Condition evidence
Dated photographs tied to zone and finding, so nothing rests on a verbal description.
05
Risk register
Findings ranked by severity with the consequence of deferral stated in plain language.
06
Budget view
Immediate, 12-month, 3-year and 5-year cost ranges, mapped to the risk register.
07
Options
Repair, maintain, restore or replace, each with scope, expected service life and cost range.
08
Next step
A single recommended action with the sequence and timing to carry it out.
Limitations
What a baseline cannot tell you
Every record states its own limits. A roof report that claims certainty it cannot have is worth less than one that draws the line clearly.
- LIMITThe assessment is visual and non-destructive unless a test cut is separately authorized in writing.
- LIMITAreas without safe access are recorded as not inspected and identified on the roof plan.
- LIMITConcealed conditions — saturated insulation, deck deterioration, embedded moisture — cannot be confirmed by visual review and may change scope and cost.
- LIMITCost ranges are planning figures based on observed conditions on the date of inspection, not fixed bids.
- LIMITRoof conditions change with weather and use. The record reflects the day it was written.
