One street can change the governing jurisdiction, the code edition, and what the roof legally requires. Codes&More resolves the address, identifies the adopted code in force, and gives you a citation-backed PDF you can put in the claims file — built to be checked, not just believed.
14-DAY FREE TRIAL · NO CREDIT CARD · EVERY DETERMINATION CARRIES A SOURCE AND A VERIFIED DATE
We don't sell lookup data. Addresses you enter are used to generate your results, nothing else.
Every state's adoption record carries a confidence tier and the date we verified it — editions unlock when you sign in.
A Codes&More report is a per-address determination document, not a code dump. For the governing edition at your property — and only that edition — we map each roofing requirement to the event that triggers it (replacement, recover, repair), state whether it applies, and cite the section. Paraphrases never replace the code: the cited text controls, and we say so on every page.
IRC R905.1.2.Does this property's climate and jurisdiction require an ice barrier membrane at the eaves, and how far up the roof must it extend? Yes/no for this address, with the adopting edition cited.
IRC R905.2.8.5.Required at eaves and rakes for asphalt shingle roofs under the governing edition? Confirmed against the edition actually in force — not the newest book on the shelf.
IRC R908.3 and its disqualifiers.Can a new covering legally go over the existing one, or does the existing condition (water-soaked deck, two or more layers, local amendment) force replacement to the deck? Several states amend this section to be stricter than base code — we flag when yours does.
IRC R905.2.7 series.Which underlayment and application method the edition requires for this roof's slope and the property's wind region, with the section cited.
IRC R905.2.4 / R905.2.6.Shingle classification and fastener requirements tied to the property's design wind speed, with an official link-out to the authoritative wind map rather than a secondhand number.
IRC R806.Net free ventilating area requirements that apply when the roof assembly is opened up, cited to the governing edition.
IRC R105.1.Whether the work requires a permit under the adopted code, plus the AHJ's building department contact block so the answer can be confirmed in one call.
Rules like a "more than 25% of the roof in 12 months" conformity trigger are state or local layers, not base I-Code — our report says which layer each requirement comes from, because mixing them up is how reports get thrown out.
Each determination is separated into what's damage repair, what's code-required, and what's optional — the separation Ordinance-or-Law reviews actually turn on. And every row carries its source and the date that source was verified.
Codes&More resolves a parcel to the authority that actually has jurisdiction over it — federal, state, and local layers kept separate, never blended — and pins the code edition in force there. Not the newest book on the shelf. The one your address is held to.
Run a free lookupThe deliverable is a per-address determination, not a code dump. Each requirement is graded by confidence, tagged to the layer it comes from, and carries the section it cites with the date we verified it — the receipts an adjuster's reviewer actually asks for.
Start free — run a real addressWe resolve the exact parcel to its governing jurisdiction instantly — including the cases that burn people, like a property that sits inside city limits while its neighbor across the street is unincorporated county.
Covering type, slope, layers, year built, scope of work (replacement, recover, repair). Thirty seconds of input drives which requirements actually apply — a pre-1978 home, for example, automatically surfaces the federal lead-paint renovation flag.
A citation-backed PDF: jurisdiction stack, adopted codes table with effective dates, per-item determinations with confidence tiers, site hazard profile, AHJ contact block, methodology, and sources. Attach it to the estimate or the claims file as-is.

Code data isn't uniformly knowable, and any product that pretends otherwise is asking you to stake your credibility on its marketing. Codes&More grades every determination, shows the verification date, and tells you when a phone call to the building department is the right move. That honesty is the point: a report that admits what it doesn't know is the one that survives scrutiny.
The determination traces to an official adoption record or code text we've verified, with the verification date printed on the line item. Cite it with confidence.
The determination follows from the state's adopted edition and known amendment record, but we haven't confirmed every local nuance for this AHJ. Solid for scoping; confirm before a dispute hinges on it.
Some answers belong to the local building official — recent local amendments, interpretations, edge cases. When that's the situation, we say so plainly and hand you the AHJ's contact block instead of a guess. The final authority on code interpretation is always the local building official, and our reports invite that verification rather than discourage it.
Every report ends with a methodology page listing each source URL and access date. Check our work — that's what it's for.
Code requirements don't float free of geography. Every Codes&More report embeds the property's climate zone (which drives ice barrier and energy provisions) and seismic design category, and provides official link-outs to the authoritative wind and ground-snow-load resources for the site — so the design values in your file come from the primary source, not a paraphrase. No separate report to buy, no extra credit to spend: the hazard profile ships inside every report.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. No credit card to start.

Every determination in a report traces to a source — state adoption records, official code portals, federal regulations — and carries the date we verified that source. We grade each line item: High (verified source), Medium (derived from the state adoption record), or Verify with AHJ (where the local building official is the right authority and we say so). The full source list, with URLs and access dates, is printed in every report's methodology page.
Local amendments are exactly why ZIP-level answers fail. Our jurisdiction resolution identifies the actual governing authority for the parcel and applies known state and local amendment layers — and when a requirement comes from a state or local overlay rather than the base code, the report labels it as such. Where we can't confirm a local amendment's current status, the line item is flagged Verify with AHJ with the building department's contact block, instead of being presented as settled. If you find a discrepancy, tell us — we review and correct sourced data promptly.
No. Codes&More reports are informational research — not legal advice, not an engineering determination, and not an interpretation of any insurance policy. The final authority on what the code requires at a property is the local building official, and our reports are written to be confirmed with that office, not to replace it.
The edition actually in force for the governing jurisdiction, with its effective date — not simply the newest published edition. For claim work, the edition in force on the relevant date matters; the report states the edition and effective date so you can confirm the right one applies to your date of loss with the AHJ.
Both, on purpose. The report documents what the adopted code requires at the address — fairly and accurately — and separates damage repair from code-required scope from optional upgrades. It's written so a contractor, a public adjuster, and a carrier desk adjuster can all read the same page and check the same citations. It is not an advocacy document for either side.
Fourteen days, no credit card, with real lookups on real addresses — full reports, not samples. If it doesn't save you time on an actual job in two weeks, walk away; you'll never have entered a card number.
