What Is a Forensic Roof Inspection?
It's the same methodology used by insurance companies, attorneys, and manufacturers when they need an expert opinion on a roof. Only 3% of inspectors nationwide hold the HAAG certification required to perform one.
"Free" Inspection
5-minute walk-around by a salesperson. No written report. High-pressure close.
Forensic Inspection
Detailed, methodical assessment using HAAG protocols. Written report with photos. Insurance-ready documentation.
What You Get
Detailed Written Report
A professional document with annotated photos showing every finding — damage, wear patterns, and remaining lifespan.
Forensic-Level Analysis
We check for internal bruising, micro-fractures, and substrate damage that a standard inspection misses entirely.
Insurance-Ready Documentation
Your report meets the documentation standards insurance companies require. Use it to support a claim or prove your roof is sound.
