Commercial and residential instructors (Haag certified) present this 1½ day course using a full-sized commercial free-standing roof structure located inside the SIS training facility. The course includes commercial roof construction principles, roofing materials and core sampling, damageability, estimatics and repair operations, as well as instruction on commercial HVAC systems.
The course is designed for entry- to mid-level commercial property adjusters. Upon completion, adjusters will be able to assess damage to the most common commercial roofing systems (EPDM, TPO, Modbit and Ballast) and they will be able to evaluate and negotiate roofing contractor estimates. Additionally, they will be familiar with HVAC equipment and labor charges involved in commercial roof repair and replacement.
