Representative supporting evidence. The real writer intentionally places this section first so address and exterior documentation are not left until the end.

Repeatable coverings

One certification can document more than two roofs.

Predominant and Secondary Roof are ready when the report opens. Add more covering records when the property needs them, label each one clearly, and keep its history and condition together.

Add every distinct coveringUse another record for each roof area or covering material. Keep every history separateMaterial, age, updates, condition, damage, and leaks stay with the covering they describe. Continuation-aware outputCoverings beyond the first two continue onto an additional form page.

Illustrative condition controls based on the real covering editor and configured damage options.

Condition that carries meaning

Document the condition. Show the evidence.

Make the condition judgment first, then support it with visible damage, leak indicators, and explanations. The editor reveals follow-up fields when an unsatisfactory condition, partial replacement, or visible leak needs more detail.

Damage informs conditionSelected damage can set an unanswered covering to Unsatisfactory. Partial means specificPartial replacement opens a percentage field for that covering. Three leak checksRecord visible leaks, attic underside signs, and interior ceiling signs independently.
PermitHunt

Built directly into the report writer.

Open Permit Hunt from the Roof section to review building permits already pulled for the property. Roof-related permits are highlighted, and the selected permit can be attached to Roof Photos as a generated record without leaving the writer.

The inspector remains in control of the covering’s permit date, update date, age, and replacement details.
