Rescheck Buyers Guide (Printable)

Today on the Reschexpert blog we are going to look at what your options are when you go to choose a Rescheck service to create your Rescheck report online. Like buying a car, house, or pizza there are many things that you consider before making your purchase decision, and a Rescheck report is no different. Enjoy this Rescheck buyers guide as we dive into the key questions that you need to answer as you choose which Rescheck to buy.

Can I do a Rescheck on my own?

This question should be at the bottom of your Rescheck decision pyramid. If you have the time, knowledge, and skill to do the Rescheck yourself then you should do it yourself. Rescheck Web and Rescheck Desktop are free software from the Department of Energy that allow you to create a Rescheck quickly and easily. We estimate that your first Rescheck might take you 10-12 hours to figure out all the intricacies of the Rescheck creation software. After that creating Reschecks as a Do It Yourself Rescheck creator could go much faster. The first step in your Rescheck buyers guide is to decide whether it is a project you can take on yourself.

What is a Rescheck Service?

A Rescheck Service will create a Rescheck for your. They vary in price, turnaround times, warranty, opening hours, service areas, and cost for modifications. They all use Rescheck Web and Rescheck Desktop to create their Reschecks. Although there are some online printable Rescheck PDF forms that we have found, but cannot recommend them for the actual creation of an official Rescheck report. With a Rescheck service you will typically upload a construction blueprint, details about the insulation of your project, specifications of (windows, doors, skylights, etc.), your jobsite address, and square footage. The Rescheck service company will decipher this information for you and create a Rescheck report based on your project.

What is the Rescheck Service’s turnaround time?

This is the amount of time it takes a Rescheck service to create your online Rescheck report and return it to you in a finished state ready to submit for your building permit. From our online Research this time varies from several weeks to as fast as a few hours.

What is the cost of a Rescheck with a Rescheck Service?

This variable of Rescheck reporting can vary as well. Doing your own Rescheck on Rescheck Web or Rescheck Desktop is always free, as long as you have the time and skill to create. The key to finding a quality Rescheck service is to find a company that offers a fixed cost for the service. Many Rescheck services overcharge their clients by offering a super low cost in their advertisements. Once you arrive to their Rescheck service center, you find that they are actually charging by the square footage.

Example:  1000 sq foot home costs $80 to Rescheck advertised rate, a 2500 sq foot home actually costs $299 to Rescheck when you go to pay.

This is a huge red flag when choosing a Rescheck service. What you want is a Rescheck that is priced the same regardless of the square footage. This way if you add square footage or take away square footage during your project, you are not charged additional money by surprise.  Which is what many Rescheck services with bad reputations rely upon.

What is the cost of Rescheck modifications?

When choosing a Rescheck service you should choose one that offers free modifications. After 4 decades in the construction industry I can tell you that things change during every construction project. This means that your Rescheck will probably be a living and breathing document that needs some adjustments during the project.

Example:  You submit your Rescheck for permit under the IECC 2021 energy code.  While waiting for the permit to be approved the building department adopts the IECC 2024 energy code for Rescheck.  The Rescheck service company charges $99 for modifications so above and beyond what you already spent on your Rescheck you are now responsible for an additional $99 to get a modification made that should be made for free.

If you choose a Rescheck service that is charging you for modifications then you might be prepared to pay double or triple the up front Rescheck service cost by the end of your project.

What is the expiration time of Rescheck modifications?

Modifications should be available for the life of your project. Many building departments take 4-6 weeks for each phase of building permit review. If you Rescheck company offers modifications for 30 days then you will be obligated to pay again at the time you need modifications to your Rescheck. Your modifications to the Rescheck report by your Rescheck service company should be good for the life of your project. Many times we get modifications on projects 18-24 months after the initial Rescheck was created.

Example:  You submit your Rescheck report for permit in May.  At the end of July your window manufacturer lets you know that the model year SHGC and U value of your windows has been updated.  Since you are 30+ days away from your original Rescheck date the Rescheck Service that you chose will charge your for your Rescheck again to make this modification because their “Free Changes” are only good for 30 days.

Construction takes a long time and we (Rescheck.info), make all of these modifications free of charge with no expiration date for our Rescheck modification service for our clients.

What is the history of the Rescheck service company?

Many companies come and go in the Rescheck world. Like a chameleon they change colors and shape shift and constantly open and close companies so that they can run from their old clients and bad reviews. When choosing a Rescheck company you do not want the fly by night Rescheck outfit that popped up yesterday. Some even falsely decades of Rescheck service but when you research their domain name it has only been service for less than 12 months. Look for a Rescheck service with a good track record, positive reviews by real people, and the knowledge of Rescheck Web and Rescheck to Desktop to create your Rescheck for you.
