Why Clarksville property owners choose HECS for FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation
Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Tennessee trust HECS for third-party FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation because we deliver:
- NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current NCI Certified Commercial Air Balancer credentials. The person who takes the readings is the person who signs your report.
- Fixed-fee proposals in 24 hours — not estimates, not time-and-materials. We quote travel cost up front, so the invoice matches the proposal.
- Reports that pass program review — ENERGY STAR, NGBS Green, EarthCraft, 45L IRS Form 8908, FORTIFIED IBHS submission, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
- Local code expertise — Clarksville projects reference the 2018 International Building Code with Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance amendments. Energy compliance follows the 2018 IECC with Tennessee-specific overlays. THDA requires NGBS Green certification for LIHTC-funded multifamily in Montgomery County; Fort Campbell-area housing frequently targets NGBS Green or EarthCraft.
