Satisfy Insurance Requirements with Confidence
Your roof is your home's first line of defense against the Florida elements. Insurance companies need to know it's in good condition before they will issue or renew a policy. A Roof Certification Inspection is a detailed assessment performed by a certified inspector to verify the health of your roof and estimate its remaining useful life, providing the documentation your insurer needs.
What is a Roof Certification?
A Roof Certification is a visual inspection of the roof covering and its associated components. The primary goal is to determine the roof's approximate age, its overall condition, and to certify that it has a reasonable amount of life expectancy remaining, typically 3-5 years. This gives the insurance company confidence that the roof is not an immediate liability.
What We Examine During a Roof Certification:
- Roofing Material: We assess the condition of the shingles, tiles, metal panels, or other roofing materials for signs of aging, damage, or deterioration.
- Evidence of Leaks: We look for any current or past signs of water intrusion, both on the roof surface and in the attic or top-floor ceilings.
- Flashing & Valleys: We inspect the critical areas around chimneys, vents, and where roof planes meet to ensure they are properly sealed and channeling water effectively.
- General Wear and Tear: We document any widespread signs of wear, such as granule loss on shingles, cracked tiles, or loose fasteners that could indicate the roof is nearing the end of its serviceable life.
