/roof-trust-ethics-compliance/
Roofing is one of the highest-scam industries because homeowners are stressed, timelines are tight, and contracts are confusing. This hub exists to make the process clean, defensible, and human: stop fraud tactics, protect homeowners from HOA dead-ends, and prove who is actually on the roof — vetted, insured, and safety-driven.
Clarity & Compliance
Educational content only. Not legal advice. We do not interpret policy language, negotiate claims, or act as public adjusters. HOA rules and state laws vary by jurisdiction and change over time; for legal interpretation, consult qualified counsel. We document observable roof conditions and provide ethical scope options tied to evidence.

Programs
