How it works
Enter your property address
Provide the address of the home you’re selling. Optionally include your listing agent’s email for direct delivery.
We confirm inspection coverage
Vulcan confirms the local inspection path, timing, and required property access before issuing anything.
Attach to your listing
If the property qualifies, you receive the agreed written deliverable and can share it with authorized agents, buyers, or inspectors.
A roof can become a major negotiation point during a home sale. A documented pre-listing review gives the seller and agent a clearer record of the roof system, observed condition, and limitations before buyer inspections begin.
Vulcan first confirms that the property is inside Greater St. Louis or Greater Chicagoland and that the appropriate inspection can be completed. Aerial measurements may support planning, but satellite imagery alone is not used to certify decking, underlayment, flashing details, attic conditions, or fine-grain surface damage.
For eligible properties, the final deliverable can include measurements, inspection date, observed system condition, photo documentation, stated limitations, and an agent-ready summary. The exact form, validity window, timing, and professional sign-off depend on the property and applicable local requirements.
This service does not guarantee a sale, prevent a buyer from obtaining an independent inspection, or remove negotiation rights. It gives the parties a more organized starting point based on documented findings.

Frequently asked questions
What does Pass, Conditional, and Fail mean?
Pass means the roof has significant remaining life and no major visible issues. Conditional means the roof is functional but has areas that may need attention within 2-3 years. Fail means the roof has significant damage or has reached end of life. We report honestly — a credible certification is more valuable than a rubber stamp.
Can my buyer’s inspector challenge this certification?
Yes. A buyer can always obtain an independent inspection. Vulcan’s document describes the inspection performed, observed findings, and stated limitations; it does not bind a buyer, inspector, carrier, or lender.
How long is the certification valid?
The validity period is stated on the final document and depends on the inspection date, property condition, weather events, and applicable local requirements.
Do I need to be home for this?
Access or owner coordination may be required because this certificate is not issued from satellite imagery alone. Vulcan confirms the inspection plan before scheduling.
Can I get this for a property I’m buying (not selling)?
A buyer can request the same review when the owner authorizes access. The final document still states the inspection performed and its limitations.
