Roof Certification Inspection

The roof certification inspection is commonly requested by Florida insurance companies when a roof is nearing the end of its useful life. The inspection is completed by licensed home inspectors who inspect and report on the roof’s condition and life expectancy.

Due to Florida’s history with hurricanes, insurance companies are using real-world data to estimate the life expectancies of roofs. Therefore, while a home inspector may report that your roof has 3-5 years of life remaining, an insurance company may still say that the roof needs to be replaced. Learn more about the lifespan needed on different roof coverings.

All roofs eventually wear down over time.

After the roof certification inspection is completed, a home inspector will deliver a report that details damages, repairs, and other concerns, attached with pictures. That report is then sent to your insurance agent, who will evaluate it and give direction on what is needed.
