Areas of focus

What I inspect — plain English.

Residential roof inspections

Asphalt shingle, tile, metal, flat & low-slope systems for NM homes.

Commercial low-slope systems

TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and tar & gravel — small commercial + multi-family.

Storm, hail & wind damage assessment

Post-storm documentation graded on the HAAG scale carriers recognize.

Insurance claim documentation

Adjuster-ready reports, photo evidence, and scope alignment with policy language.

Building envelope & flashing

Chimney, skylight, wall-to-roof, and penetration analysis where most leaks start.

Forensic post-failure investigations

When a roof failed under warranty, who's responsible and what's the paper trail.

Drone-assisted inspection

FAA Part 107 remote pilot — safe imaging of steep, tall, or damaged planes.

Pre-listing & pre-purchase inspections

Realtor-friendly reports that close deals instead of blowing them up.

HOA compliance inspections

Written condition reports formatted for HOA architectural committees.

New-construction punch-list

Third-party verification before you accept the final draw.

Post-repair verification

Confirming the fix matches the scope you paid for.

Portfolio inspections

Multi-property landlords and small commercial operators — bulk pricing.

Verifiable certifications

Every credential I claim, with the issuer.

NRCA Certified Trainer
NRCA ProCertification® Certified Trainer — verifiable

Certified through the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) as an authorized trainer under their ProCertification® program. This one is directly verifiable with NRCA — ask for the trainer ID at booking and confirm it with NRCA member services.

20+ yrs NM roofing
Two decades inspecting, selling, and managing NM roof projects

Twenty-plus years inside New Mexico roofing shops — estimating, production, warranty, and management. That experience is what shapes every report: what an NM roof should look like at 5, 10, 20 years, and what corners tend to get cut on install day.

HAAG-trained inspector
HAAG residential + commercial curriculum

HAAG Engineering wrote the storm-damage assessment methodology that most insurance adjusters were trained on. HAAG-trained means we grade hail, wind, and fatigue damage on the same scale a carrier will.

Inspector insured
General liability + professional (E&O) coverage on every inspection

General liability protects you from anything that could go wrong on-site. Errors & omissions coverage protects you from anything that could be wrong in the report. Certificate of insurance is provided at booking.

FAA Part 107 drone pilot
Licensed remote pilot · insured airframe

FAA Part 107 is the federal license required to fly a drone for commercial purposes. It's how we document the roof planes and valleys nobody's safely walking without a lift — every image is geo-tagged in the report.

20 years NM roofing
Operations Manager → GM at $10–25M NM roofing companies

Two decades inside New Mexico roofing companies before going independent — including estimating, production, and warranty. We know what a real scope of work should include and what's usually padded.

Independent · disclosed-referral policy
We don't sell or install roofs · any contractor referral fee is disclosed in writing

Bench contractors are matched based on your roof system, budget, warranty needs, and timeline. When a matched contractor is hired, they may pay a flat, disclosed referral fee — it never varies with scope or price, and it's disclosed to you in writing before you pick a contractor. Homeowner inspection fees are our primary revenue.
