Paper Inspections Are a Compliance Liability
Regulators want proof. Paper inspection forms get lost, can't be searched, and don't have timestamps. One audit can shut you down.

Roofing is a documentation-intensive business — insurance supplements, manufacturer warranties, permit photos, and material orders all require paperwork. Storm season turns this into chaos when volume triples overnight.

How Inspection & Compliance Actually Looks in Roofing
The Scenario
A manufacturer warranty requires documenting nail pattern, underlayment type, and ventilation calculations. The crew fills out a paper warranty form on the roof in the wind.
The Real Impact
Incomplete warranty registration means the homeowner's 50-year warranty is void — and the roofer is liable for the replacement cost.
What the Research Says
“OSHA fall protection (29 CFR 1926.501) is the #1 cited violation in construction. Documentation of crew safety compliance is a legal requirement on every roofing job.”
