Benefits of Certification
Here are just a few reasons why you should consider Haag Roofing Inspector Certification.
- Being Haag Certified, if teaching is applied properly, will lend credibility to your roof inspection findings if you are finding yourself at odds with another inspector who has reached a different conclusion.
- Haag certification will increase your value as a roof inspector to your employer. Certification could very well be the "reason you get called" over another non-certified inspector.
- Taking and passing Haag's certification course will give all roof inspectors a higher level of respect in their industry and more credibility to their assessment of residential roof damage.

Roof Inspector Certification
Certification Summary
The "Haag Certified Roof Inspector - Commercial" program teaches attendees how to assess damage to all major types of commercial (low-slope/flat) roofing systems. In this course, we discuss inspection safety, roof area calculations, codes and industry standards, and weather characteristics. For each roofing type discussed, we profile manufacture, installation, weathering, hail damage, wind damage, maintenance, mechanical damage and repair costs. We featured 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. Case studies illustrate real-world inspection scenarios.
