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 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.
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.
Certificate provided per engagement.
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.
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.
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.
See /compensation-disclosure for the full policy.
