A roof certification inspection is often required by your homeowners insurance company, especially for older homes or homes with roofs nearing the end of their lifespan. If you need a roof certification inspection, Home Insights has been providing expert home inspections in Tampa and the surrounding areas for over a decade. We provide a detailed report outlining your roof’s condition, complete with documentation and photographs for your insurance agent. While we can’t guarantee repairs won’t be needed, our inspection will give you clear insight into any issues that need to be addressed, helping you keep your insurance premiums as low as possible.
Our Roof Certification Inspections
Florida’s history of hurricanes and tropical storms makes roof condition a top concern for home insurance providers. Most insurers require that your roof has at least five years of life remaining before it needs replacement. Roof certification inspections are typically requested for homes older than 25 years or those without records of recent re-roofing. Addressing any issues found during the inspection can help extend your roof's lifespan and potentially lower your insurance premiums.

Our Roof Inspection Process
When you hire Home Insights for a roof certification inspection, we conduct a thorough examination of your entire roof. The process begins with a visual inspection of both the interior and exterior. We access your attic to inspect the roof joints, insulation, and check for any visible signs of leaks. For the exterior inspection, we document and photograph the roof’s condition using specialized equipment to assess its remaining life expectancy.
If your roof is in good condition and expected to last more than three years, we will certify it. If not, we’ll help you create a plan of action to address any necessary repairs. We can also coordinate with subcontractors to ensure repairs are completed, satisfying your insurance company's requirements.
The Importance of Proper Roof Upkeep
Your roof is the primary barrier between your home and the elements, making its upkeep crucial. In Florida, where hurricanes, tropical storms, and heavy rainfall are common, maintaining your roof's health is even more important. Roof issues often start with the gutters—if your gutters are malfunctioning, it can lead to significant roof damage and expensive repairs. As part of our home inspection services, we offer comprehensive roof assessments that address these concerns.
Even well-maintained roofs will eventually face wear and tear due to the environment. Regular repairs, replacements, and sometimes a full roof replacement are inevitable over time. At Home Insights, we carefully inspect every aspect of your roof, identifying any issues and connecting you with trusted roofers for repairs or replacements if needed.
