[heading-style-h4]When certification matters[heading-style-h4]

‍

Some buyers need roof risk clarified before closing. Some owners need a condition report for a lender, insurer, HOA board, or reserve plan. In those cases, a casual estimate may not be enough.

A useful inspection explains what was seen, what could not be verified, what needs repair, and what decision the report supports.
