Thanks for your interest in this 9-hour online CE class covering the roofing systems. In this class we will cover the basics of a home’s roofing systems. Next to HVAC issues, roofing problems are some of the most common complaints that home inspectors receive. Nothing makes a client angrier than seeing water dripping through their ceiling and into their new home! Having a working knowledge of roofing systems and how to inspect them can go a long way in keeping out clients happy (and dry!)
