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.
Lifespan Needed on Roofs
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.
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.
What You Can Do
To keep your insurance premium as low as possible, while not having to replace your roof, you should keep up with the regular maintenance of your roof. Find out if your insurance requires a roof inspection. Here are a few tips:
- Ensure your roof is clean of debris, moss, and dirt. Also, check for roof leaks.
- Have your roof inspected after a major wind event.
- Have your roof inspected every 2-3 years by a licensed inspector.
- Complete professional roof repairs as needed. Contact a roofing contractor for this.
