‘HAAG CERTIFIED’
In the roofing and insurance industries, the phrase “Haag Certified” carries a lot of weight. It indicates that the holder of this designation can effectivley and efficiently inspect and assess damage. Report conclusions have a deeper level of crediblity: and possesses the extra authority required to provide accurate information for projects to be completed on time and on budget. Ultimately, with the damage assessment techniques gained in these Certification courses, the holder can increase your value as an inspector to your clients. Non ‘HAAG CERTIFIED’ inspectors often lack the skills and knowledge the possessor of these certifications have gained by passing courses developed and taught by practicing forensic engineers.
‘HAAG RESIDENTIAL ROOF INSPECTOR CERTIFICATION’
The Haag Certified Inspector – Residential Roofs program is designed to create highly proficient inspectors regarding inspections of all major types of residential (steep-slope) roofs. The inspector understands (1) how hail and wind interacts with roofing, (2) inspection safety techniques, (3) roof area calculations, and (4) applicable codes. The inspector also gains comprehensive understanding of manufacture, installation, weathering, hail damage, wind damage, maintenance, mechanical damage, and repair costs for each major roofing type — composition, wood shingle/shake, concrete and clay tile, asbestos, fiber cement, and various synthetic, slate, and metal roofing types. This certification lays the groundwork for the inspector to truly understand the problems at hand, and thereby create an accurate and functional solution to the problem at hand.
‘HAAG COMMERCIAL ROOF INSPECTOR CERTIFICATION’
In the Haag Certified Inspector – Commercial Roofs program, the inspector learns to assess damage to all major types of commercial (low-slope and flat) roofing systems. The inspector also becomes well versed in inspection safety, roof area calculations, codes and industry standards, and weather characteristics. For each roofing type discussed, instructors profile manufacture, installation, weathering, hail damage, wind damage, maintenance, mechanical damage, and repair costs. The certification covers built-up roofing, polymer-modified bitumen roofing, thermoplastic single-ply roofs (PVC and TPO), thermoset plastic single-ply roofs (EPDM, CSPE, PIB), SPF roofing, metal roofing, vegetated (green) roofing, low-slope roofing components, and roof coatings.
