National Roof Certification and Inspection Association
In 1995, the National Roof Certification and Inspection Association (NRCIA) was born out of the evolution of the home inspection industry and its eventual standard to refer and defer any roof damage to a certified roofer. Today, the NRCIA has become THE authority in LeakFREE® roof protection by leading the industry in roof inspections and certifications.
Homeowners and real estate professionals often search for ‘certified roof inspectors near me’ because they need more than just a repair estimate; they need a professional assessment they can trust. At the NRCIA, we bridge the gap between simple roofing contractors and expert roof inspectors. While many companies offer a quick ‘free estimate’ to sell you a new roof, our members provide a comprehensive five-zone inspection process covering the interior, attic, perimeter, garage, and rooftop. This systematic approach ensures that every leak-prone area is identified before it becomes a structural disaster.
Our LeakFREE® Roof Certification is the gold standard for property peace of mind. If you are currently in a real estate transaction, your lender or insurance provider may require a roof certification to prove the home is insurable and at low risk for water damage. Unlike a standard contractor’s bid, an NRCIA certification is a formal guarantee that the roof is functional and will remain leak-free for the duration of the certificate. This transparency protects buyers from ‘hidden’ roof issues and helps sellers justify their home’s value. By choosing an NRCIA member, you aren’t just getting a roofer; you’re getting a forensic roof specialist who follows a nationally recognized protocol. Whether you need to resolve a denied insurance claim, satisfy a mortgage requirement, or simply want to extend the life of your roof through professional oversight, our network of certified professionals is here to provide the data-driven reports you need to make informed financial decisions about your property.
