Q. What is the difference between HCRI Residential and HCRI Commercial?
A. Both the HCRI Residential and HCRI Commercial program focus on the definition of functional damage to roofing as the reduction of water shedding ability or service life.

Q. How strict is the 1 year/100 roof inspection experience prerequisite?
A. Haag will strictly enforce their prerequisites. The HCRI program is not intended to train new roof inspectors. It is expected that you will bring industry and inspection knowledge and experience, which will enhance your experience. HCRI curriculum and tests are written and intended for the intermediate to expert roof inspector. During registration Haag will ask you for the total number of roofs you have inspected (approx) and the name of your principle employer during your last year of roof inspection experience. Haag reserves the right to deny certification to a paying registrant if their inspection or industry knowledge or skills are not to the level of someone with this minimum required experience. No certification will be granted nor refunds given (for the class or any associated expenses you may incur) to anyone who misrepresents their experience level. Haag reserves the right to check references of any registrant in order to verify experience and eligibility.
Q. What is the cost of the HCRI program?
A. The cost for the 2009 HCRI program is $825.
A. Haag offers 1 complimentary registration with one order of 4 paid registrations. In order to be eligible for this discount, all registrants must register at the same time, under the same registration.
Q. Are my meals and hotel included in the HCRI price?
A. The HCRI fee only covers the class and materials. Haag will negotiate the best sleeping room rate possible with the hotel they choose, but all hotel and travel expenses are your own. If you would like to purchase lunch each of the class days you can do so for $20 each day. These lunches are optional and can be purchased at the time of registration.
Q. How strict is your cancellation policy? What if I get called away for work when I am supposed to be in class?
A. Haag's cancellation policy is as follows: Date of registration to 31 days from start of class - $25 cancellation fee; 30-10 days from start of class - 50% of class fee; 9-0 days from start of class - no refund. Haag must enforce their cancellation policy as stated, however they want to work with you if you are called away at the last minute. You will be allowed to transfer to a different session ONE time without penalty. If you cannot make your second session there will be an additional $100 transfer fee to move to another session each time you reschedule. You can also transfer your registration to anyone of your choosing at no additional cost to you (assuming they meet the prerequisites of the program). The cancellation penalty from your original registration will apply to your registration regardless when you take the class.
Q. Will I be able to use my status as a Haag Certified Roof Inspector in marketing my business or myself to potential employers?
A. YES! Haag asks that you keep your certification current annually to do this from year to year. Anyone who is curious about your certification will be able to go to www.certifiedroofinspector.com and view Haag's database of HCRIs and verify your active and good standing status.
Q. Can my certification be revoked?
A. Haag Engineering reserves the right to revoke any certification, at any time if a HCRI is found to be obviously abusing the title of Haag Certified Roof Inspector by blatant negligence or disregard the teachings and principles taught in the HCRI program in order to deceive or mislead with their assessments for their own personal or financial gain. Evidence showing intentional negligence or improper use of the HCRI title will be presented to a panel of Haag Engineering Co. representatives for consideration of revocation of certification. The HCRI and/or the associated company accused and involved will be notified of the potential revocation and be given a chance to make their case to Haag's representatives before a final decision is made. If Haag's representatives vote to revoke an individual's certification, the person and/or company involved will be ineligible for future certification by Haag Engineering Co. No references to HCRI nor use of HCRI logos, for marketing purposes, will be allowed to be used by revoked HCRIs. No refunds will be given for any products or services purchased by the revoked parties.
