Roof Certification Inspections are a type of inspection that can be performed by a Florida-licensed home inspector to determine the condition and lifespan of a roof. Due to hurricane activity, Florida roofs experience unique strain from wind and rain. This creates an increased demand for roof inspections to keep track of a roof’s integrity. For older homes, insurance companies are likely to request a roof inspection certification before approving a home for coverage.
Why Roof Certification Inspections? Replacing a roof is one of the most expensive home maintenance items, so when buying or selling a home, special assurance of the roof’s condition is of the utmost importance in Florida markets. Even if a roof is projected to have 3 years remaining in its lifespan, this condition is not generally considered suitable for many insurance companies, and a replacement is likely to be recommended.
A roof nearing the end of its lifespan is unlikely to survive the punishment of a hurricane. Because of this, Roof Certification Inspections have become an invaluable tool for Florida homeowners for peace of mind.
What does an inspector do during a Roof Certification Inspection? An NPI Emerald Coast home inspector will assess the roof and take pictures, inspecting the roof for any damage, leaks, or signs of past repairs. Upon completion, the inspector supplies a Roof Inspection Certification, which contains photos of the roof, identified damages, or concerns, the property owner’s name and address, the inspection date, and the projected remaining lifespan of the roof. To assuage roof concerns, start with a roof inspection from NPI Emerald Coast.
