How Roof Doctor NM is compensated.
Every dollar that reaches this business, in writing, before you make a hiring decision. Nothing hidden — that's the whole point of an independent inspector.
Homeowner-paid inspection and report fees are the primary revenue of Roof Doctor NM.
When a matched bench contractor is hired, they may pay a flat, disclosed referral fee to Roof Doctor NM. The fee is fixed — it does not scale with the project price — so it cannot influence which contractor is recommended for your roof.
Fixed, not percentage-based. A flat referral fee is not a commission — it doesn't increase when the roof job is bigger or when a more expensive material is spec'd. That's the structural safeguard: my income can't be moved by what I recommend for your roof.
Any referral fee is disclosed to the homeowner in writing, before you select a contractor. A one-page Compensation Disclosure is attached to every report that includes a contractor recommendation.
You are never required to hire from the bench. Written scopes are portable — any qualified NM roofing company can bid apples-to-apples from your report.
- · Assignment-of-Benefits (AOB) commissions from insurance work
- · Percentage-of-claim compensation
- · Undisclosed spiffs, gifts, or trip incentives from manufacturers
- · Marketing-spend-based contractor ranking
Two things you can always do.
You are never required to hire from the vetted bench. The written scope of work in your report is yours — take it to any qualified NM roofing company for apples-to-apples bids.
Before you sign a contractor agreement, ask for the Compensation Disclosure attached to your report. If a matched contractor pays a referral fee, the dollar amount is stated there.
