Are You Looking for A Free Roof Inspection?

I would like to start by saying that I know there are lots oh high quality roofing contractors out there who provide excellent roofing, repair and inspection services.

That being said, there are also some that are saying they provide free "roof inspections" when in fact they are not.

In all actuality, homeowners are being deceived and in many cases buying a home under the false impression that they have been informed about all of the roofs defects.

 

If this subject is of interest to you, please read on.

 

For obvious reasons it is first necessary to define the term roof inspection.

 

DEFINITION:

Roof Inspection - The inspection of a roof, including the visual and

 instrumental verification of its condition, to determine its maintenance, replacement actions, and the causes of any defects that may have arisen.

At least 80% of the time, a free roof "inspection" will be performed by someone who has absolutely no credentials (just ask to see them and see what happens!) other than the fact that their boss is calling them an inspector. (Like my inspectors at the right here!)

On the other hand, when you get a paid inspection from Ron Williams Roof Doctor, you are getting an inspection done by a 40 year roofer, a current member of the Housing Inspection Foundation, and Certified Industry Expert.

They will give you a document that has a disclaimer like "for purposes of certification evaluation only" or some such thing.

This is the main clue. If it were an actual roof inspection there would be no conditions regarding its use. Sure everyone has disclaimers about certain components of the property, liability etc. but this is different. This states that the inspection is only relevant in terms of issuers certification and not in terms of the roofs actual condition, and thereby not an actual roof inspection.

In 40 years of roofing work I have yet to see two identical roofs, but since I started checking about 6 months ago, I have seen several perfectly identical free "roof inspections". They are vague, uninformative and in my opinion, worth what was paid. (Actually you would be better off with nothing, at least then you would not be misinformed.)

At Ron Williams Roof Doctor, we are a roofing and roof repair company who also offers roof inspection and certification services.

When we are hired to do an inspection, our focus is to provide all pertinent information regarding the roof, regardless of certification conditions. If you don't want all of the information then you don't want us.

When we arrive at a site, we have been paid for the inspection and don't need to sell anything beyond that.

Our inspection is for the purpose of giving the customer all available information pertaining to the roof and may be used for any purpose.

All items noted are verifiable using industry standards, NRCA guidelines, manufacturer's specifications and local UBCs.

It is a real roof inspection, done by a qualified inspector and for that reason will not be refuted and will stand up against any and all scrutiny.

If you want to know all about your roof, you can't beat an inspection report done by Ron Williams Roof Doctor.

If you don't really want to know, but still need an "inspection" then the free route may be for you.
