HECS quotes FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation projects on a fixed-fee basis after a free scoping call. Cost depends on building size, project complexity, and program requirements. Most Clermont County projects fall within our standard Midwest service rate. Call (859) 983-7382 or email [email protected] for a project-specific quote within 24 hours.
HECS serves the Cincinnati metro from our Louisville KY headquarters; most projects are a 2-hour drive. Travel cost is quoted up front in the proposal and bundled with related projects when possible.
HECS field technicians hold IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator credentials (valid through December 2026). HECS is also an IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator, RESNET Certified HERS Rater, ENERGY STAR Multifamily Reviewer, NGBS Green Certified Verifier, and EarthCraft Certified Verifier. Every HECS report is signed by a credentialed technician — never outsourced, never subcontracted for the signature.
Yes. HECS regularly coordinates FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation with local code officials, commissioning authorities (CxA), and HERS raters across Ohio. We deliver reports in the format your reviewer requires and attend coordination meetings when requested. References from Clermont County-area code officials and developers are available on request.
Most FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation engagements in the Clermont County metro schedule within 2-4 weeks of contract signing. Pre-construction document reviews and pre-drywall inspections are typically scheduled first; final / performance-test visits follow the contractor close-out schedule. Call (859) 983-7382 with your project timeline and we will confirm availability within 24 hours.
If a measured value is outside the prescribed tolerance (e.g., ACH50 over the ENERGY STAR 3 ACH target, or duct leakage to outside above RESNET 380 thresholds), HECS documents the failure with photos and identify-codes for the offending building assemblies. We then work with your GC to schedule a targeted re-test of the failed assemblies after sealing. Re-tests are quoted at a fixed fee per visit (most projects pass after one targeted re-seal). Call (859) 983-7382 to discuss a specific failure-mode case.
