FAQ
Do you need access onto the roof?
Most roofs do not require physical access for us to measure. For flat roofs with parapet walls or other obstructions we may need access onto the roof.
I think my neighbor’s house is too tall, can you measure their house for me?
We will need access onto your neighbor’s property to measure the lowest natural grade, and may need access onto their roof as well. You will need to coordinate with your neighbor to provide access.
When is a roof height certification required?
