“NRCIA provides outstanding expert consulting support to my law firm and my clients on defective roofing cases by providing thorough, credible, evidence-based inspection reports and expert opinions on damages. The reports are easy to understand and reliable.”
Who we serve
The standard is a shield.
A roof report is rarely read by one person. The buyer and the seller, the agent, the carrier, the board and sometimes a court all read the same pages. We write the standard those pages are held to, so each of them can rely on what they say.
Every side of the table
One report, read by a buyer, a seller, an agent, a carrier, a board, a court.
Six readers, one standard
Find yourself on the list
Each page sets out what worries people in your position, the inspections that fit, and why independence matters to you in particular.
- Homeowners, buyers and sellersThe most expensive thing protecting your home, inspected to a published standard and explained in writing.
- Real estate agentsKnow the roof before the buyer’s inspector does.
- Property managers and HOAsThe same criteria on every roof in the portfolio, so one report can be read against the next.
- Carriers, adjusters and policyholdersThe facts of the loss, documented by an inspector with no side to take.
- Attorneys and the courtsProximate cause, documented, in a report built to be tested.
- Builders and contractorsAn independent verification of the work, documented before anyone disputes it.
Why any of them can rely on it
A standard nobody has to take on trust
One report, every reader
A buyer, a carrier and an attorney read the same findings. A published standard is what lets all three trust them without having been on the roof.
Nobody’s side
NRCIA sells no inspection and no repair. Every member signs a conflict-of-interest disclosure, and claim and forensic reports say in writing that the inspector gains nothing from the outcome.
Accountable after the visit
Members sign the Code. A complaint goes through a documented process, and a violation can cost a member their accreditation.
In their words
What people we serve say
There’s no licensing requirement for roof inspectors in California. I can’t gamble on that. When I recommend someone, my reputation is on the line. I choose NRCIA inspectors because they’ve already proven themselves through training and accountability.
- Jason BurrisAttorney
“We called NRCIA in the middle of our re-roofing project because things were not going well… That evening, before we even got the report, our roofer called to apologize and tell us the job was done below standard, so they wanted to redo the roof from scratch.”
Dorielle B.Property Owner“I desperately emailed NRCIA and was surprised by a prompt and very detailed answer, giving me good guidance along the way. Once you lose trust in your contractor, a neutral and professional point of view is crucial.”
