Questions
What goes in a roof inspection report?
A record of a roof's condition: covering type and age, how it was inspected, covering, flashing, penetrations, decking, ventilation and drainage, every problem with how urgent it is and who should fix it, and the inspector's estimate of remaining life when one is given. ReportDraft lays it out in 7 sections: roof areas, roof covering, flashing and penetrations, decking, structure and attic, gutters, edges and drainage, signs of leaks inside, remaining life.
Do my province or territory's rules change the report?
Pick your province or territory when you start. Where we have checked a local requirement against official sources, it is added to your completeness list with a link to the source.
Can I edit the draft?
Yes. Every finding, rating and sentence is editable before you sign. Your own entries always win over anything drafted from your notes.
What do I get at the end?
A signed, locked PDF for your client and an editable Word file, both with your company details. Signed reports keep a fingerprint so later changes are visible.
Which plan covers it?
