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.
A photo album is not a roof report.
Here's exactly what an independent, defensible NM roof report contains — and how the four tiers differ.
The 10 sections.
Executive summary
Condition score (1–5), remaining-life estimate, recommended action, budget range — one page your spouse or agent can read in 60 seconds.
System overview
Roof type, layer count, approximate age, ventilation math, drainage summary, prior repair evidence.
Plane-by-plane assessment
Every roof plane scored individually with photo-documented condition, granule loss, and fastener state.
Penetration inventory
Pipes, vents, skylights, chimneys, HVAC curbs, solar attachments — each with flashing photo and condition score.
Moisture map
Infrared spot checks of ceilings and attic decking, with pin-meter confirmation numbers where accessible.
Attic assessment
Decking, insulation depth, ventilation calc (IRC 806), evidence of active leaks or historic staining.
Priority repair list
Ranked: fix now, fix within 12 months, monitor, cosmetic. Every item with photo and NM market price range.
Remaining life by section
Because south-facing tile ages 3× faster than north. Not one number for the whole roof.
Scope of work
Line-item repair or replace scope any contractor can bid apples-to-apples. Included in Standard and above.
Independence & liability disclosures
Who I am, who I'm not, insurance status per engagement, and a plain-English note of any contractor referral arrangement — disclosed up front, never hidden.
The PDF is the product.
Not a lead. Not a sales pitch. A signed document you can share with insurance, attach to a listing, or hand to any contractor for an apples-to-apples bid.
The PDF is yours. Share it, print it, forward it — no login walls, no watermarks.
Geo-tagged EXIF photos, timestamped, signed by a HAAG-certified inspector with 20+ years in NM.
Reports live on our servers for 10 years. Re-download or re-issue any time.

Report questions homeowners ask most
- The on-site visit is free; you only pay for the written report. Snapshot ($149) covers a straightforward single-story asphalt roof. Larger, steeper, multi-material, or storm/insurance jobs step up to Standard, Comprehensive, or Expert tiers. You confirm price before we produce the PDF.
- 48 hours from inspection for Snapshot and Standard. Comprehensive and Expert/Litigation reports can take 3–7 days depending on lab pulls, code lookups, and photo annotation depth.
- Yes. The Expert/Litigation tier follows HAAG methodology with test squares, directional damage evidence, and Xactimate-formatted line items. It's yours to hand to your adjuster, PA, or attorney. We don't represent you to the carrier.
- Yes — our contracted NM bench bids off our scopes daily. If you take the scope to an outside contractor, most accept it because it's specific enough to bid apples-to-apples without back-and-forth.
