John Bradford was heavily involved in the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)and became President in the early 1980s. A nationally recognized expert on how to maximize the lifecycle of a roof, John pioneered a consulting program and began working with owners to proactively manage their roofing assets.

John’s consulting plan became the blueprint for RoofIntel©, a proprietary roof management software program developed by Bradford Roof Management.

Bradford’s engineers use RoofIntel© to build custom, long-term maintenance and budgeting plans for clients with roof assets of every size and type. Proactively managing roofing assets maximized the life of the roof and ultimately saves money.

There are many different roofing systems – how can owners know which is the best option for their building?

The team at Bradford has the professionalism, knowledge, experience, and leading edge training with roofing systems technologies past and present. In initiating a new or replacement roofing system, our estimators assess the use of and design of a building to determine which roofing system will deliver the highest level of performance and longevity.

If an existing roof has a potentially wet insulation system or decking, Bradford uses advanced thermal imaging which can detect moisture within the roofing system or building envelope to determine the extent of the damage without having to breech the integrity of the roof.

When a roof has been scheduled for replacement, all old materials are removed and properly disposed. The decking is then thoroughly inspected to ensure viability. If there is any sign of rot or deteriorated building components, any substandard materials are replaced prior to the installation of the new roofing system.
