FHA/VA Roof Certification
An FHA/VA Roof Certification is an intense evaluation of the
entire roof or a specified area of the roof called for by the lender, mortgage
company, or appraiser. The inspection includes an approved FHA/VA form be
completed by the inspector, stamped, and forwarded to the appropriate parties
involved. This form is a government backed form that makes the inspection company
liable for its findings.
DC Home Inspection Service provides this service when very few
others will. We found that other home inspectors are not qualified or are
unwilling to perform this type of inspection. Even roofing contractors will not
certify their own work. This is where we come in...
The certification can be performed "weather
permitting" the next day after we receive the call. Our inspectors are
certified for this type of inspection and can provide all the necessary forms,
certificate of insurance, and paper work needed to keep this transaction moving.
The reports can be printed on-site or faxed out immediately.
The cost is typically $145.00 per report. This includes the
initial inspection and completed paper work. If needed, one follow-up inspection
for completed repairs can be performed at no additional cost. This is required
if a roof does not pass it's certification on the first visit. The inspection
fee is due whether or not the roof passed it's inspection. DC Home is not liable
for worn or damaged roofs that can not pass FHA/VA minimum standards. The
report, however, will suggest repairs needed to complete the certification.
There is no charge for a roof certification if DC Home
Inspection Service has performed a general home inspection with-in 30 days of
the request. This type of inspection can also be used for insurance claims
and storm damage, or when homeowner type repairs are made. We also do follow up
inspections when a new roof has been installed to verify proper installation.
