FAQ
Roofing contractors have a financial interest in the work they recommend, which can create conflicts of interest. While many contractors are honest, an independent inspector like ARIS provides unbiased assessments with no stake in whether you repair, replace, or do nothing. This is especially valuable when presenting expensive recommendations to HOA boards, property managers, or skeptical stakeholders who need objective expert validation before approving major expenditures.
ARIS holds the industry’s most respected certifications, including Haag Engineering Certified Inspector credentials for both residential and commercial properties, IIBEC Quality Assurance Observer membership, and Certified Impedance Roof Moisture Surveyor designation. Our inspector is also a Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA) Associate Member and TRI/FRSA Certified in High Wind Tile Installation. With over 20 years of experience covering 300+ commercial claims and $100 million in completed construction projects, we bring both technical expertise and real-world problem-solving to every inspection.
Our comprehensive inspections combine visual assessment with scientific analysis. We examine all roofing components, including the membrane, tile, metal, or shingles, as well as any visible flashing, drainage systems, penetrations, and structural elements. Using specialized equipment like drone based infrared and deck based impedance moisture detection technology, we identify hidden problems that visual inspection alone might miss. You’ll receive a detailed report with photo documentation, analysis of remaining roof life, prioritized repair recommendations, and cost estimates to help you make informed decisions.
Our Haag Engineering certification is specifically recognized by insurance companies as the gold standard for roof damage assessment. We provide scientifically-backed documentation of storm damage, manufacturing defects, or installation failures that strengthens your position in insurance negotiations. Our reports are detailed enough to withstand scrutiny from adjusters and attorneys, and our experience with 300+ commercial claims means we understand how to document findings in ways that support successful claim outcomes.
Yes, ARIS is certified and experienced in inspecting both residential and commercial roofing systems. Our qualifications include specific Haag certifications for both property types, and we’re familiar with the full range of roofing systems common in Florida. From tile and asphalt shingle residential roofs to flat commercial membrane systems, including TPO, PVC, KEE, EDPM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing as well as various metal systems for both. We also understand Florida’s unique challenges, including high wind requirements, hurricane preparedness, and intense UV exposure.
We understand that property managers and HOA boards need clear, defensible information to make decisions and gain approval from stakeholders. Our process includes an initial consultation to understand your concerns, a thorough on-site inspection, and a comprehensive written report with photographic evidence and clear recommendations. We’re available to attend board meetings to present findings and answer questions, helping you navigate competing contractor bids and resident concerns. Our independent status gives boards the confidence they need to approve necessary work without concerns about bias or conflicts of interest.
