Can you verify whether my new roof is installed correctly?

We document observable installation conditions and focus on detail-level workmanship checkpoints. Some items may require additional verification that cannot be confirmed visually.

What if my roof is leaking after installation?

Leaks after installation often trace to transitions, flashings, or penetrations. A workmanship audit documents the likely failure pathway and ties it to specific locations with photos.

Do you negotiate with the roofer or handle disputes?

No. We do not provide legal advice or negotiate disputes. We provide a neutral findings report homeowners can use for follow-up.

What does “claim-verifiable evidence” mean?

It means photo and condition documentation that a third party (adjuster, carrier, consultant) can verify without relying on contractor interpretation—paired with a written scope and clear recommendation.

Do you repair or replace roofs?

We inspect first, document conditions, and recommend repair when appropriate—replacement only when necessary—based on evidence and scope requirements.

Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?

Yes. We support storm-damage claims by producing evidence-forward documentation and a written scope aligned to common estimating workflows, helping the claim process stay clear and verifiable.

Roof Workmanship Audit™ (Georgia)

If a roof was installed fast after a storm, it’s normal to wonder what you can’t see. This audit is a post-install inspection designed to verify critical workmanship checkpoints using photo-verified findings — so you can know what’s correct, what’s risky, and what should be corrected.

Compliance-Safe Promise

Educational content only. Not legal advice. We do not interpret contracts, negotiate disputes, or act as public adjusters. We inspect observable conditions, document findings, and provide an organized report homeowners may use for follow-up with their roofer or relevant parties.

Definition

What is a Roof Workmanship Audit?

A workmanship audit is a structured post-install inspection that checks high-risk roof details and documents whether installation appears consistent with basic system requirements, visible code-driven realities, and manufacturer-style detail logic — using clear photos and labeled locations.

What homeowners get from an audit

Clarity: what looks correct vs what looks risky.
Location mapping: findings tied to slopes/elevations/details.
Photo-labeled proof: wide → mid → close-up where possible.
Action path: what to request for correction and what to monitor.

What this audit is not

Not a warranty approval or manufacturer certification.
Not a legal opinion or contract interpretation.
Not a guarantee that hidden conditions don’t exist.
Not an emotional “bad roofer” attack — we keep it neutral and verifiable.

The Quality Gap

Why post-install audits matter (especially after storm crews)

Speed installs: shortcuts happen at details, not in the shingle field.
Leak reality: most leaks trace to transitions — walls, chimneys, valleys, penetrations.
Hidden risk: a roof can “look new” and still have workmanship failure pathways.
Homeowner control: a neutral report helps you request corrections without guessing.

The goal

Not blame. Not drama. Just verification: what was installed, where it was installed, and whether the detail looks technically valid.

Audit Checkpoints

What we check (high-risk details first)

Edge + water-control system

Drip edge presence/continuity (where visible) and water path logic
Starter strip logic at eaves/rakes (where visible)
Gutter-edge interaction and runoff control points

Penetrations + flashings

Pipe boots (seal integrity, cracking, fit, placement)
Vent/stack flashings and sealant dependency risk
Skylight perimeter conditions and water channeling

Valleys + transitions

Valley type and cleanliness (open/closed where visible)
Dead valleys and wall transitions (common leak zones)
Kick-out style water diversion logic (where applicable/visible)

Ridge + ventilation reality

Ridge cap alignment/fastening consistency (where visible)
Ventilation intake/exhaust balance indicators (observable clues)
Bath fan / dryer vent termination issues (where visible)

Why we prioritize details (not just “how it looks from the street”)

Most failures happen at water-entry points and transitions.
Shingle fields can look perfect while flashings are wrong.
A clean report ties risk to a location and a failure pathway, not a general complaint.

Leak Path

Leak after a new roof? Here’s the clean approach

What to do first

Document interior staining and timing (photos + dates).
Identify the roof zone above the leak (approximate slope/elevation).
Inspect the nearest transitions: vents, walls, valleys, chimneys.

Why “it must be the shingles” is often wrong

Leaks commonly enter at flashings or penetrations.
Sealant-only fixes often fail without proper detail logic.
Finding the entry point requires location continuity, not random photos.

What a workmanship audit produces

A neutral, photo-labeled findings packet you can use to request corrections: location → condition → risk → suggested correction path (without policy or contract claims).

The Workmanship Audit Report (photo-verified)

How the report is organized

Roof map: slopes/elevations and key detail zones.
Findings list: each item tied to a location and photo set.
Risk classification: monitor vs correct (based on failure pathway likelihood).
Correction request format: clear, neutral language for follow-up.

Why “neutral language” matters

It reduces defensiveness and speeds correction approvals.
It keeps the conversation anchored to observable conditions.
It avoids escalation that stalls action.

Who this is for

Homeowners who benefit most from a Workmanship Audit

You used an out-of-town or storm-response crew and want verification.
You have a new roof but feel uncertain about details and flashings.
You have a leak after install and want a clean diagnosis path.
You want documentation before warranties and timelines become harder to enforce.

Common Questions

Roof Workmanship Audit™ FAQ

What is a roof workmanship audit?

A workmanship audit is a post-install inspection that checks high-risk roof details and documents observable conditions with labeled photos, so homeowners can verify quality and request corrections clearly.

Can you tell if my roof was installed “to code”?

We document observable installation conditions and compare them to basic system and detail logic. Some items may require further verification, permits, or contractor/manufacturer input. We keep findings factual and photo-verified.

Is this the same as a manufacturer certification or warranty approval?

No. This is an independent inspection and documentation service. It does not replace manufacturer certification requirements.

What if my roofer says everything is fine?

The audit provides a neutral, organized findings packet so the conversation can focus on specific locations and observable conditions, not opinions.

Do you handle disputes or negotiate with the contractor?

No. We do not provide legal advice or negotiate disputes. We provide inspection findings and a clear report homeowners can use for follow-up.
