Need A Professional Roof Inspection? We Provide HAAG-Certified Inspectors

he Roofing Industry’s “Golden Standard” For Better Information And Genuine Peace Of Mind

A professional inspection can uncover hidden issues early. To be straight, roof inspections can help you save money over time. Truth is, modern roofing systems aren’t just a bunch of shingles and nails. They’re FAR more complex than in our dad's or granddad’s era. And to make matters more complex, storm damage across Southeastern PA can vary. When you need a legitimate inspection, you MUST work with a specialist to get the best, most reliable information.

And the Golden Standard of these specialists is HAAG-certified.

What’s That Mean?

HAAG is a protocol to assess roof damage, whether inflicted by a storm or not.

What Does The HAAG Stand For?

Here’s a direct quote, and we apologize if it sounds like a foreign technical language to some:

“HCI stands for ‘Haag Certified Inspector’. HCI-R and HCI-C were proper designations indicating Residential (R) or Commercial (C) roof inspectors. In 2013, the acronym changed to HCI-R, HCI-C, and HCI-W (Haag Certified Inspector-Residential Roofs, -Commercial Roofs, and -Wind Damage, respectively).”

The certification has three main branches – Residential, Commercial, and Wind Damage. HAAG engineers design each to be unique and enhance damage assessment credentials, covering all types of roofing, buildings & components, weather & wind data (including hail), and supporting scientific principles.

Wondering what the process looks like? Here's what to expect during a professional roof inspection.

Get Detailed, Proven, Professional Roofing Data

No fluff. No sales nonsense. No unnecessary expenditures. Absolutely NONE of the issues you could be dealing with when you work with a less qualified inspector who may NOT have your best interests in mind. This is what leads to insurance claim headaches, financial regrets, and basically getting taken for a ride on faulty information.

Give Your Insurance Claim REAL Legs To Stand On

When storm damage and insurance companies and adjusters get involved, and that’s just on the residential side…EVERYTHING is riding on the quality of information you’ve got. The good news is our inspector’s HAAG certification carries a lot of weight and credibility…which for our customers carries its weight in proverbial gold.

Get Proper Insurance Compensation

What do you get when you combine the previous two points? Adequate insurance compensation, when applicable. We’ll tell you if the damage merits a claim. We’ll tell you whether repairs or replacements are in order. We’ll give you the FULL story and let you decide what’s best based on the best information.

How to Inspect Your Roof for Hail Damage After a Storm

After a severe storm passes, it’s important to assess your roof for potential damage before contacting your insurance company. Even small hail impacts can weaken shingles, compromise your roof’s integrity, and lead to leaks over time. This step-by-step guide on how to inspect your roof for hail damage will help you identify warning signs early, document issues properly, and make informed decisions about whether repairs or a claim may be necessary.
