FAQs

Is a roof certification the same as a roof warranty?

No. A certification documents qualifying roof conditions for a defined purpose or period. It is not the same as a manufacturer or workmanship warranty.

Does every inspected roof qualify for certification?

No. Repairs or replacement may be required when the roof has active leaks, significant deterioration, or other disqualifying conditions.

Can you perform the repairs required for certification?

Yes, Otto Roofing can provide a separate repair estimate when qualifying roofing work is needed.

How long is a roof certification valid?

The applicable period depends on the inspection findings, documentation issued, roof condition, and certification terms. Any later damage or material change may affect validity.
