What we'd document on your roof

Sample findings for a asphalt shingle roof on a full replacement job. Your report substitutes real photos, counts, and remaining-life ranges from your property.

  • Full-slope granule loss

    Per-plane grade with macro photos and remaining-life numbers.

  • Ridge vent + soffit intake math

    IRC 806 net-free-area check; ridge-only installs almost always fail 1:300.

  • Underlayment + deck condition

    Deck rot inspection at eaves, valleys, and around penetrations.

Your report will not look identical — and that's the point.

What stays the same

  • · The section structure and page order.
  • · The 48-hour turnaround (72 for Comprehensive).
  • · HAAG / FAA-107 inspector sign-off with 20+ yrs NM roofing behind it.
  • · Written scope you can hand to any contractor.
  • · Neutral, no-financial-interest language throughout.

What changes on every roof

  • · Total page count (3–5 for Snapshot; 50+ for Litigation).
  • · Number of photos (this sample: ~10; some reports: 60+).
  • · Findings — a leak-free tile roof reads very differently from a hail-hit shingle roof.
  • · Repair vs replace verdict and remaining-life estimate.
  • · Price — see the live calculator.

What people say after James walks their roof

Three roofers wanted $32k after the June hailstorm. Roof Doctor NM walked the roof, took 84 photos, and said the hail was cosmetic. Saved me from a fraudulent claim.

Sarah K.Albuquerque · Nob Hill

Under contract on a Corrales house. The pre-purchase report caught two hidden layers the seller's disclosure missed. Got an $18k credit at closing.

David & Elena R.Corrales

Bid review flagged that the 'lifetime warranty' voided if we used the wrong underlayment — which the contractor had specced. Renegotiated the whole scope.
