You will not find a more ethical person than Jerry Conrad. I found him dedicated to his clients, extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, and very reasonable and easy to work with. During the monsoon season of 2018, our HOA spent nearly $30,000 to fix leaks in eight units. In 2019, we decided to start performing preventative maintenance rather than continuing to pay exorbitant costs for emergency services. The roofs were our first major project. Our community is 28 years old and there has been no maintenance done on the roofs at all.
Jerry Conrad was recommended to us by our management company. The board needed to know how large a project we were undertaking and how many buildings had to be re-roofed. Jerry did a thorough inspection of all 17 roofs and submitted photographs with detailed explanations of his findings. He also rated the roofs in order of priority replacing. As we expected, all 17 roofs were in horrific condition.
Jerry met with the board and educated us about roofs. It was during this meeting that we learned the different materials, layers, etc. so we could make an informed decision. We reviewed a list of potential roofing companies provided by our management company and Jerry eliminated a few from consideration. He saved us money here by preventing us from selecting a potentially problematic contractor. Jerry also helped with the technical language that we used in the request for bids. He saved money for us here by providing the detail that we needed in the contracts to make certain that we were specific and thorough.
We contracted with Jerry to inspect the roofs during the re-roofing to ensure that the roofer was adhering to the terms of the contract and doing quality work. We did not had any additional expenses to the project as our contract states that all work orders must be approved by Jerry. I believe his continued presence with us helped though I had a lot of confidence in our roofing company and don't believe that they would have taken advantage of us. But I felt more secure with Jerry involved.
Lastly, in conversations with the roofing company executives and staff, I learned that Jerry Conrad is extremely well-respected in the industry. I highly recommend Jerry as he's quite remarkable.
