Your Top Questions Answered

Building and Roofing codes:

Q: How can I find the right building and roofing codes for my project?
Finding the right codes depends on the project’s property address and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Building codes vary greatly across cities, counties, zip codes, and states. OneClick Code makes it easy by delivering address-specific roofing codes in seconds, so you don’t have to waste time digging through city websites or making phone calls.

Q: Do roofing code requirements change depending on location?
Yes. Roofing and building code requirements can vary significantly depending on the city, county, or even side of the street you're working on. OneClick Code simplifies this complexity by providing verified codes tied to the exact property address, so you always know which rules apply to your job.

Q: What’s included in a OneClick Code report?
Each report includes critical roofing code details such as ice and water shield requirements, drip edge, underlayment, roof deck, sheathing requirements, and more. You also get information on permit fees, jurisdiction authority, and inspection requirements—everything you need to scope, estimate, and justify the job with confidence.

Q: Why does jurisdiction matter when working on roofing jobs?
Jurisdiction determines which codes you have to follow, which authority governs your project, and what requirements must be met for compliance and insurance approval. Getting it wrong can delay a job or cost you money. OneClick Code eliminates the guesswork by instantly identifying the correct jurisdiction and codes for each address.

Q: Can I use OneClick Code to look up roofing codes for commercial or residential properties?
Yes. OneClick Code works for both residential and commercial properties. You can search any property by address and receive a verified roofing code report in seconds. The platform also accounts for roof type — flat or pitched —so you receive code details that are specific to the structure you’re working on.
