Roof Inspection
Tells you what can be seen.
A visual, photographed walkthrough of the roof. It answers whether there is a problem today and what it looks like. Swift provides this at no cost.

Roof Condition Assessments
Do You Know the Condition of Your Roof(s)?
You can't plan for what you can't see.
A Swift roof condition assessment establishes a documented, defensible baseline for a single asset or an entire portfolio — what condition each roof is in today, what requires attention and when, and what should be financially planned for over the next five years.

The Difference
More Than an Inspection.
Roof Condition Assessment
Tells you what's happening inside the system.
Diagnostic work that finds trapped moisture, saturated insulation, and deterioration invisible from the surface — then translates it into a plan and a number.
Paid engagement
If you need to know whether a roof is leaking today, start with an inspection. If you need to make a decision with money attached to it, you need an assessment.
What It Answers
Every Assessment Answers Three Questions.
-
What condition are my roofing assets in today?
Documented condition of each roof section, supported by photographs and diagnostic findings.
-
What needs attention, and when?
Deficiencies identified, prioritized, and categorized — not a single undifferentiated list.
-
What should I financially plan for?
Anticipated expenditures placed on a timeline you can budget against.
The Deliverable
A Report You Can Hand to Ownership, a Lender, or a Board.
Full roof condition report for the asset or portfolio- Roof plan with sections identified and referenced
- Diagnostic findings from moisture survey or core sampling
- Recommendations placed on a five-year timeline
- Roofing system type, age, and assembly documented
- Photographic record of each deficiency, keyed to location
- Deficiencies categorized by required action
- Executive summary written for decision-makers
Condition to Capital
Condition Becomes a Capital Plan.
Every recommendation is placed on a timeline so it can enter a budget rather than a wish list.
Not Everything Is a Repair. Not Everything Is a Reroof.
Immediate Repair
Conditions requiring attention now, where deferral increases cost or risk.
Preventative Maintenance
Serviceable systems where proactive work extends useful life.
Reroof
Systems where continued investment no longer makes financial sense.
Thirty deficiencies is data. Thirty deficiencies sorted into three categories and four budget years is a plan.
Ownership Strategy
The Right Answer Depends on What You're Doing With the Asset.
The same roof, in the same condition, warrants different recommendations depending on ownership intent. A five-year hold and a pending disposition are not the same problem.
- Long-term hold
- Short-term hold
- Pending acquisition
- Preparing for disposition
- Capital preservation
Method
What We Do to Reach the Conclusion.
- Visual and photographic survey
- Section-by-section walkthrough by a certified inspector, documenting membrane, seams, flashings, penetrations, HVAC curbs, edge metal, drainage, and prior repairs.
- Aerial and measurement data
- Where useful, aerial imagery and measurement to confirm sections, square footage, penetration counts, and drainage patterns.
- Infrared moisture survey
- Thermal imaging to identify trapped moisture within the roofing assembly that is not visible at the surface.
- Moisture verification
- Meter readings to confirm and map the extent of saturation.
- Core sampling
- Where warranted, small samples to confirm the actual assembly, layer count, and whether insulation is wet.
- Records review
- Warranties, prior repairs, service history, and as-built information incorporated into the findings.
Triggers
Common Reasons Owners Call Us.
Acquisition due diligence
Understand the roofing liability you're buying before closing, not after.
Lender or insurance requirements
A documented condition report on a deadline.
Disposition preparation
Know what a buyer's consultant will find before they find it.
Budget and CapEx planning
Operating budgets and reserve studies that need defensible roofing numbers.
Portfolio takeover
A new manager or owner inheriting properties with no roofing records.
Recurring problems
Repeated service calls that suggest something larger is developing.
Scale
One Roof or an Entire Portfolio.
For a single asset, an assessment establishes the baseline and the plan.
Across a portfolio, the same standard applied to every property makes the roofs comparable — which properties need attention first, where capital is concentrated, and what roofing will cost over the next five years.
