“All roof coverings listed above meet the FBC with a FBC or Miami-Dade Product Approval listing current at time of installation OR have a roofing permit application date on or after 3/1/02 OR the roof is original and built in 2004 or later”

So, if a roof is installed improperly, with some wrong materials, but has a permit dated after 3/1/2002, it is OK to give them the roof credit?

**But if you complete a full home inspection on that same house, you have to call out improper materials / improper installation and call for a repair. **

Appears to be a flaw in the system!

Yes, and there are most likely other flaws as well.

Here’s another one which can be perceived as a flaw…

􀀀 B. All roof coverings have a Miami-Dade Product Approval listing current at time of installation OR (for the HVHZ only) a
roofing permit application after 9/1/1994 and before 3/1/2002 OR the roof is original and built in 1997 or later.

What would be an example of wrong material?

5

In this particular case the ridge line was dimensional shingles. Manufacturer specifically calls for ridge shingles, which look like 3 tabs, and they were not secured plus there were over driven nails under them

6

Oh, and the lead shield were not properly installed

I would be inclined to mark A if the roof were permitted and finaled. Interesting to hear from the guru’s on how they handle this.

On a wind mit I go by permit and NEVER go on the roof. I may be opening myself up to liability BUT if by any crazy chance anyone ever starts to give a crap about fraud and other issues with them I can tell them with a clear conscious that I do as all of the classes I have been around teach.

Do you all really want to make it more difficult???

But you had to go up on the roof for your home inspection and 4 point. Are you now going to have reports with different information on them
