I don't know if there's a legal definition of a roof "certification". It seems like the kind of thing that would vary by state.

I think the root word of "certification" is "certify" which actual breaks down to the root word "certain", which would mean that I'm certain enough to certify the roof and issue a certification. However, the only certainity from my point of view is that I'm uncertain enough to avoid appearing certain enough to certify the roof by issuing a certification that would make me appear certain when I was actually uncertain in ascertaining for certain whether the roof was certifiable.

That's my opinion.

Come on Kenton, I know your much better than that!

I have never done a certification, never plan to, but would like to know what's expected so I can turn them down knowledgeably.
