Roof Certification Inspection
Professional roof evaluations for Southwest Florida homes to document age, condition, and remaining life so insurance companies and lenders can make fast decisions.
What Is a Roof Certification?
A roof certification is a focused inspection and written report that confirms the type, age, visible condition, and estimated remaining useful life of your roof. In Florida, many insurance carriers require this documentation—especially when a roof is older or you’re changing policies.
We inspect and photograph key parts of your roof system, from the covering and flashing to visible signs of leaks or damage. The goal is to provide clear, honest documentation that your insurance agent can submit directly to underwriting.
