Inspections by ProRoof

1.) FHA Inpection
Sometimes necessary in home sales involving FHA financing.  
The inspector may have to take on liability for roof problems
should a roof that is "passed" become a problem for the new
homeowner. The seller's main problem in obtaining FHA
inpections is qualifying whether the inspector's report is based
on the buyer and seller's best interest or the inspector's need to
sell services to the property seller.  
ProRoof performs inspections on a consulting basis only. We
can certify satisfactory roofs, or in the case of a roof that is
unsatisfactory, provide bid specifications for the seller to
provide to contractors in order to make their roof certifiable in a
cost effective manner.
You will be able to compare their bids on an "apple to apple"
basis.

2.) NON-FHA Pre-Sale Inspections. ProRoof will perform an
objective evaluation of the condition of a home that is in the
process of being sold.  We can perform this inspection for the
buyer, seller, or both. Our evaluation will be based on the
physical makeup of the roof (composition of roofing materials,
layers of roofing etc.) and, based on our observations, the
conditions of the roof and flashing materials, the condition of the
decking, and evidence of condensation based on an attic
inspection.
Based on our experience we will provide an approximate life
expectancy of the roof, as well as an approximate cost of
replacement or repair. ProRoof will not bid on this service as to
not create a "conflict of interests". Observations can be
provided verbally or in written booklet form.

3.)Post-Project Inspections.  ProRoof will perform a
post-project inspection when a property owner or the installation
contractor would like an objective third party analyze the
completed project.  Our observations are based solely on
comparison of work performed to work specified on the contract
and  manufacturer requirements.  If the manufacturer has
provided no requirements for a certain aspect of an installation,
the  Asphalt Roofing Manufacturer Association's Manual for
installation is used.   Reports can be provided to the
homeowner and/or the contractor in a verbal manner, or in a full
written report, in booklet form, complete with necessary
documentation and/or photographs.  Often, these inspections
are requested because of an active or potential conflict that is
developing between the homeowner and the contractor. Our
role in these inpections is to be non-adversarial with all parties.
Our inspection is based solely on objectivity. When a
homeowner requests an inspection, we ask that we are not told
the contractor or contracting company's name.

4.) Inspection for the Purpose of Providing Bid
Specifications.
ProRoof  can perform a roof inspection as a preliminary for
designing the specifications for the roof to be replaced.  This
service is provided to homeowners that are in the roof
replacement market. In earlier experiences with roof
replacement, these homeowners may have been confused by
the variety of quotes, prices and possible roof systems they
received.  It was  difficult to qualify them.  Our inspection results
in specifications for their project being designed according to
manufacturer standards.  The homeowner provides these
specifications to bidding contractors.  All contractors bid on the
same materials and labor. ProRoof can, at the homeowner's
option, provide a pre-project meeting so that the homeowner
and contractor can be assured that details are clear to  all
parties.  ProRoof can, at the homeowner's option perform a
post-project inspection to assure that all specifications have
been followed. ProRoof will recommend full, partial, or delay of
payment based on this inspection.

5) Insurance Inspections. Often, your insurance company
may be concerned about the condition of the roof on an
insured property. We perform fee based inspections for
property owners. If there becomes repair or replacement of the
roof involved, the fee is waived.  Contact us for a quote, or call
