FORTIFIED Roof Evaluation in Lexington, KY is delivered by HECS — an NCI-certified, Kentucky-based testing firm serving Kentucky and the broader Midwest since 2009. HECS is headquartered in Louisville, about 80 miles northwest of Lexington. Most Lexington-area projects are within a 90-minute drive of our office.

Why Lexington property owners choose HECS for FORTIFIED

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Kentucky trust HECS for third-party FORTIFIED 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 — Lexington projects typically reference the 2018 Kentucky Building Code (based on 2015 IBC) with locally adopted amendments. Fayette County enforces IECC 2015; new multifamily construction in the Lexington metro commonly targets ENERGY STAR v3.1 or NGBS Green for LIHTC funding through the Kentucky Housing Corporation.
• One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.
