This is spot on. You can't see how the roof was installed, how the fasteners were used or if the underlayment system was installed properly. A roof inspection isn't a perfect system but it can offer some good insight. If I'm doing an inspection and I see improper applications at the surface, it suggests poor workmanship and shortcuts were applied to the hidden aspects.
You can create your own in Word, or just write it on a piece of paper and copy it. Put down your specs of what you want the contractor to do for you and give it each contractor you're interviewing.
Good information!

Thank you, @justin t! You're correct - unless you did the roof, there's no way to "certify" the installation and workmanship.
Wise are your words! 😀
Are 😊roof certifications regisered with city
Not that I'm familiar with. Normally they're just the opinion of a roofer about the condition of a roof.
What is a bid sheet, and how can I get one? Thanks
