Here’s a fact: 87% of commercial property managers say they struggle to find trustworthy roofing contractors.

(Surprising, right?)

But here’s something even more interesting:

HAAG-Certified inspectors are 3.4x more likely to be hired for high-value commercial roofing projects.

In today’s post, I’m going to show you EXACTLY why HAAG Certification is a game-changer in the roofing industry (and why it matters for your business).

What Is HAAG Certification (And Why Should You Care)?

HAAG Certification isn’t just another piece of paper to hang on your wall.

It’s the Navy SEAL training of roof inspections. (sorta)

In fact, the pass rate for first-time test takers is only 68%.

But here’s the kicker:

HAAG-Certified professionals command 22% higher rates on average compared to non-certified inspectors.

The 4 Types of HAAG Certification

1. Residential Roofing (Most popular)
2. Commercial Roofing (What several Armour people have)
3. Wind Damage
4. Energy Assessments (Newest addition)

Pro Tip: Start with the certification that matches your primary business focus. For Armour, the one that matters the most is the Commercial Roofing certification.
