Spokane, Wash., city officials announced on October 1 that a pilot project essentially deputizing contractors to certify their own underlayment placement versus waiting for a city building official to issue a green tag was elevated to a permanent program.
In a blog post on the city’s website, Deputy Building Official John Goldsmith announced the program's elevation and said that 20 roofing contractors interested in participating in the process and willing to complete in-person training and possible site walk-throughs would be invited to join.
