Roof Certifications

What is a Roof Certification?

A Roof Certification is a formal certificate issued after a roof inspection has been performed on a property following the inspection protocols and has determined that the roof has met the Roof Certification criteria subject to its terms and conditions.

What does it cost for a Roof Certification?

A Roof Certification requires an inspection. This written inspection report with color photographs is typically $175, can be more for larger homes or commercial buildings. If the roof meets the Roof Certification criteria then it is a total of $250 for a 2 year period, again more for larger properties. If the roof has deficiencies, it will be documented in the written Inspection Report with color photographs detailing those deficiencies. If the member is hired to make the repairs, a portion of the inspection fee is credited in the repair costs.

If the roof does not meet the criteria, can anyone make the repairs?

Yes, any roofing contractor can make the repairs. However, another inspection would be required to determine if all the mandated repairs were made to meet the Roof Certification criteria. This becomes costly because it sometimes takes several inspections to make sure that all the repairs are properly made.

What does a Roof Certification cover?

The standard Roof Certification covers repairing leaks from normal wear and tear or a leak missed by the inspector during the certification period.

What happens if a leak occurs during the Certification Period?

The certificate holder notifies Rocky Mountain Roofing and Restoration that a leak has occurred. A member in our production department performs a leak inspection to determine the proximate cause of the leak.

If it is determined that the leak was caused by a normal wear and tear or an error on the part of the inspector, all necessary steps would be taken to stop the leak at no additional cost to the certificate holder. Disputes are handled on a case-by-case basis.

What about storm damage or third party damage?

The standard Roof Certification does not provide coverage for “acts of God” or third party damages.

Can any roofing contractor issue a Roof Certification?

Yes, but most won’t because they want to charge to replace the roof. Rocky Mountain Roofing and Restoration, Inc. will come out and give you an honest inspection and let you know if the roof is certifiable.
