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.

After the hail storm, Hive came out the next day. They found damage I never would have seen and helped me get my entire roof replaced through insurance. Professional from start to finish.

Chris and his team were amazing. They were present during the adjuster inspection and got our claim approved on the first try. New roof looks fantastic. Only paid our $1,000 deductible.
