One call instead of dozens of local roofers: how Ciel Senior Living runs roofs nationwide.

The challenge

Where they started

Ciel Senior Living manages 40+ communities from Florida to Washington, including Oregon, California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Montana and Tennessee. Each community called its own local roofer, and that led to a few problems.

  • Quality and response times changed from site to site, and there was little documentation.
  • Quotes were often a vague lump sum with no photos, line items or clear warranty information. Facility leaders struggled to justify costs, and ownership was sometimes unconvinced a repair or replacement was needed.
  • A roof in Tennessee had been installed incorrectly. It took testing, manufacturer involvement and insurance discussions to sort out, and the internal team had no partner to escalate it.
  • Nobody could say when a roof would need replacing, or whether a restoration could extend its life.

Our approach

  • One call or email, any time. Any community can request help 24/7. In metro areas the response is typically same-day, and rural communities get a clear arrival timeline.
  • Options at three levels: a temporary stop-leak, a prioritized repair, or a longer-term program such as preventive maintenance or restoration.
  • Photos, annotated findings and line-item estimates with every call, so facility managers can take a clear package to ownership.
  • Escalation on the Tennessee defect. We coordinated the testing, brought in the manufacturer and worked with the insurance providers so the root cause was fixed, not patched.
  • Portfolio-wide inspections and preventive maintenance, which gave Ciel consistent roof condition data across communities, plus restoration such as coatings where it fits.
  • Capital projects managed from preconstruction through closeout: specifications and drawings, weekly progress reports, punch lists and a closeout manual with warranties and contacts.
  • TEMA IQ, our client platform, gives leadership 24/7 access to inspection history, photos, leak trends and repair records.

The result

Ciel's communities now call one number for any roof issue. Every call comes back with photos and line-item estimates, and leadership can see inspection history, photos and leak trends in one place. Ciel's team describes the result as fewer surprises, faster decisions and confident owner buy-in.

“On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate TEMA an 11. Their professionalism, immediate response times, and transparency have made my job, and my COO's job, so much easier. We know they'll be there for us, 24/7, nationwide.”
Tom Milewski, VP of Facilities Maintenance, Ciel Senior Living
