ROOF INSPECTOR COURSE TO LEARN YOUR ROLE IN THE CLAIMS PROCESS
Aside from the foundation, an improperly installed roof can be one of the most damaging and costly mistakes a homeowner might face with a new build or remodel. When a roof is installed improperly, water can quickly find its way throughout your home causing tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage. Simply by hiring the wrong contractor or subcontractor who is unknowledgeable about the product, environment or materials being used can mean the difference between your dream home or a money pit.
However–a roof inspector with the proper education can easily assess the quality build or how much time you might have left on your roof. At the National Claims Institute we provide all the tips and trade secrets you need to become an industry professional roof inspector. From pitch, ridge vents, gutters and grades all the way to real world materials used, National Claims Adjusters educators are roofing experts.
