Residential Roofing Systems

A roof is a system (flashing, ventilation, underlayment, drainage) ā€” not just shingles. The Inspector Roofing Protocolā„¢ starts with inspection-first documentation so you can choose the correct path: repair, replacement, or storm/insurance workflow.

Verified Expertise: Residential systems overseen by a
Haag Certified Inspector (HCI #202210026).

The fast answer

If youā€™re unsure what you need, start with Protocolā„¢ Inspection. We map the roof by slope, capture and label evidence, and provide a neutral brief (whatā€™s storm-consistent vs whatā€™s aging/maintenance). Then we route you to the right next step.

Roof Replacement

Full system replacement when the roof is aging, failing, or storm-damaged beyond practical repair. We confirm scope using protocol-based documentation.

Roof Repair

Targeted repairs for flashing, penetrations, valleys, and leaks. We fix the likely cause (not just the symptom) and document before/after.

Storm Restoration

If damage tracks to a storm event, we document slope-by-slope. The goal is a clean, claim-ready evidence packet ā€” not just a camera roll.

Financing Options

Monthly payment options for repairs and replacements. We help you compare paths after the inspection clarifies scope.

How the Protocolā„¢ Applies to Residential Work

Residential decisions should be evidence-led. The same documentation spine supports routine diagnostics, storm evaluation, and replacement planning ā€” with clear boundaries around compliance.

Protocol Spine

  • 1
    MapCreate a slope/plane index so every photo has a ā€œwhere.ā€
  • 2
    CaptureWide-to-tight photos + video sweeps so distribution is visible.
  • 3
    LabelOrganize evidence by slope + component for frictionless review.
  • 4
    CorroborateUse collateral indicators only when naturally aligned.
  • 5
    PackageDeliver a clean summary and photo sets you can actually use.
  • 6
    BriefNeutral findings: storm-consistent vs non-storm conditions.

What You Receive

  • Slope-by-slope photo sets organized by roof plane
  • Context + close-ups that show distribution, not cherry-picked angles
  • Component notes (flashing, penetrations, valleys, edges, ventilation)
  • Safety-first access: walkable when appropriate; drone-assisted when risk is unnecessary
  • Clear next-step routing: repair plan, replacement plan, or storm/insurance workflow
Code-Compliant Residential Roofing

We build scopes to meet locally adopted codes, referencing the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) and 2021 International Building Code (IBC), plus state amendments (GA DCA). Final compliance is verified by the AHJ via permitting.

Residential Roofing FAQs

Should I start with an inspection? +
Yes. Protocolā„¢ Inspection confirms whatā€™s happening (storm vs leak pathway vs aging) and routes you to the right path before decisions are made.
How do you decide repair vs replacement? +
We document scope and failure mode. Repairs are for localized, correctable issues; replacement is recommended when the system is failing broadly or risk is recurring.
Can this help with insurance? +
Yes. When insurance review is relevant, we organize evidence by slope/component and provide a concise, neutral brief for reviewability. Start at Insurance Hub.
Do you get on the roof? +
If itā€™s safe and appropriate, yes. If risk is unnecessary (steep, wet, brittle), we use drone-assisted documentation.
Whatā€™s the fastest next step? +
Start with /inspection-hub/ or book via /contact-us/. If you suspect a recent storm caused the issue, use Storm Damage Hub.
