Roof Certificate

A Roof Certification Inspection is a specialized, visual assessment of your roof system, often required by insurance underwriters and companies in the Palm Beach area. This inspection is typically necessary when your roof is 15 years old or older, or when you are renewing or switching your homeowners' insurance policy. The purpose is to officially confirm that your roof is in good condition, helping you secure or maintain your insurance coverage 

What We Look for in a Roof Certification

Our inspection provides a detailed report that covers all accessible areas of your roof. To prepare, please have any relevant permits or receipts for previous roof work on hand. We will document factors that affect the roof's integrity, including:

• Age and Condition: We determine the age of your roof and its overall condition, estimating its remaining useful life.

• Materials and Layers: We identify the type of roofing materials used and, for shingles, the number of layers present.

• Structural Elements: We check the condition of ridges, caps, drip edges, and the soundness of any drains, downspouts, and gutters.

• Flashing and Seals: We inspect the flashing around pipes, chimneys, vents, valleys, and HVAC units to ensure it is in good condition and properly sealed.

• Signs of Damage: We look for any signs of noticeable movement, previous repairs, or possible damage that could affect the roof's performance.

This comprehensive report gives your insurance company the assurance they need, which in turn helps you get the coverage you're looking for.
