Yes. HECS regularly coordinates FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation with local code officials, commissioning authorities (CxA), and HERS raters across Kentucky. We deliver reports in the format your reviewer requires and attend coordination meetings when requested. References from Kenton County-area code officials and developers are available on request.
Most FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation engagements in the Kenton 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.
Call (859) 983-7382 or email hecs@hecsusa.com with your project type, building size, and inspection schedule. Most scoping calls take under an hour.
