You’re right, the inspection paper trail is huge, especially when insurance starts asking for proof. About the green roofs—yeah, it’s definitely a newer thing for a lot of inspectors. I’ve seen a few cases where folks had to call around to find someone who actually understood solar shingles or living roofs. My advice is to make sure your inspector has some experience with those systems, or at least is willing to learn on the job. Don’t get discouraged if you have to try a couple before you find the right fit—it’s worth it for the peace of mind.
Curious if anyone’s actually had an insurance adjuster push back on a green roof or solar shingle install? I’ve heard mixed things—some say it’s just more paperwork, others claim their premiums went up. Wondering if that’s just regional or depends on the carrier.
