LibreLow-slope, membrane, or metal: a roof record that outlives the job.
Warranty questions, pre-inspections, and disputes show up years after closeout. LibreCam puts every seam, flashing, and core cut on one record per property, shot by every hand on the crew and stamped with time and location.
A commercial roof, documented from survey to service
The same job record carries the roof from the first core cut to the last leak call.
Pre-construction survey
- Existing roof condition: membrane field, seams, flashings, parapet, drains and scuppers
- Core cuts with the layers labeled and the location marked on the roof
- Interior ceilings and finishes below the roof before anything is opened
- Rooftop equipment, curbs, and penetrations as found
- Parking, landscaping, and adjacent roofs a claim could later blame on you
Tear-off, deck, and install
- Deck as exposed: wet insulation, deteriorated deck, fastener pull-out, each with a wide shot for location
- Insulation and cover board layout before the membrane goes over it
- Membrane seams, welds, and laps as they are probed
- Flashings, terminations, and pitch pockets at every penetration and curb
- Drains, scuppers, and edge metal before and after
- End-of-shift condition and temporary tie-ins, every day
Closeout and service
- As-built photos: drains, penetrations, equipment, walkway pads
- Closeout package assembled from the job's photos and checklist
- Semi-annual inspections filed under the same property
- Every leak call and repair added to the record by the tech who did it
Records that last for years
A commercial roof gets asked about long after the crew leaves: a warranty claim years in, a pre-inspection before the building sells, a tenant's ceiling stain that someone says started with your tear-off. What decides those is the record, and the record is only as good as whoever held the camera. LibreCam gives the camera to everyone on the roof and files every photo under the property, stamped with GPS, time, and weather. Start with a pre-construction condition survey, run the job through a commercial roof inspection checklist, keep the warranty inspections on the same record, and read what to keep and for how long.
Same roof. Two records.
The foreman's phone
The software charges by the seat, so the foreman has the camera and nobody else does. He shoots the start and the finish. The seam probe, the drain bowl before the new membrane went over it, the curb flashing on the far side of the roof: nobody photographed those because nobody else could. Years later the owner calls about a leak and the record has a gap right where the question is.
The whole crew, one job record
Every installer, tech, and laborer shoots to the same job. Seams, flashings, curbs, and penetrations get photographed by whoever is standing next to them, stamped with time and location, filed under the property. The checklist shows what is still unshot while everyone is on the roof. When the question comes, the answer is a search away.
Built for low-slope crews and the service department behind them
Checklists by roof system
Membrane, metal, or coated: start from a checklist whose items require a photo before they can be checked off. Seams, terminations, drains, and curbs each get their shot, and the list shows what is still unshot before the crew climbs down.
Offline on the roof deck
Big roofs, metal decks, and mechanical penthouses eat signal. Photos, captions, and checklists queue on the phone and sync when the crew is back in range.
Leak calls on the property's record
Every service tech has the camera. A roof service report per visit, with the leak location, the failed seam, and the repair, lands on the same record as the original install.
Semi-annual inspections, filed where they belong
Run the warranty inspection as a checklist on whatever cycle your warranty calls for. Each round stacks under the property, so the roof's history reads in order.
A closeout package that assembles itself
The closeout report is drafted from the job's photos and checklist items, organized by roof area with captions in place. Ready for the GC and the owner without a night in the office.
A property portfolio, searchable
Multi-site owners and property managers ask by address. Search any roof by address, date, tag, or caption, and invite the property manager to view the record.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. LibreCam records what the crew installed and what the inspector saw, with time and location on every photo. The requirements are your membrane manufacturer's and the standard is yours; the record is what you bring to the inspection.
Every photo, checklist, and report stays filed under the property. Search the address and the survey, install, closeout, and every service visit come up in order. Export to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or S3 whenever you want a copy in your own storage.
Yes. Send a browser link to a gallery, or invite them as a viewer on the job. No app to install on their end.
Yes. Photos, voice captions, and checklists all work offline. Everything syncs when the phone is back in range.
Each tech shoots the leak call to the property's record: the interior stain, the roof area above it, the failed seam or flashing, the repair. A roof service report is drafted from those photos, and the visit sits next to the original install for the next tech who goes up.
Nothing. LibreCam is free with unlimited users, so every installer, service tech, and PM has the camera and headcount never shows up on a software bill.
