Roofing has a two-stage inspection sequence. Each wait compounds the next. Virtual inspections break the cycle.
After tear-off and before finish material. Your crew captures the deck condition, underlayment installation, flashing details, drip edge, and any penetration treatments. This has to pass before shingles or tile go on.
After material installation is complete. Documents the finished surface, ridge detail, flashing terminations, penetration boots, and edge metal. This closes the permit.
With the county, you tear off Monday, wait until Thursday for mid-roof, then install Friday, and wait until the following Wednesday for final. That is 9 days for a job that takes 2 days of actual work. With virtual inspections, you tear off Monday morning, get mid-roof approved Monday afternoon, install Tuesday, and close the permit Tuesday evening.
After a major storm, building departments get buried. Virtual inspections operate independently. Your capacity scales with your crew, not with the county's inspector availability.
