What is a roof certification?

A roof certification is an official document from a licensed roofing contractor stating the roof's condition, material type, approximate age, and estimated remaining useful life. Florida insurance companies often require certifications for older homes before issuing or renewing policies.

Why do I need a roof certification for insurance?

Many Florida insurance carriers require roof certifications for homes with roofs over 15-20 years old. The certification documents that your roof is in acceptable condition and estimates how many years of useful life remain. Without it, insurers may refuse coverage or charge higher premiums.

What is a wind mitigation inspection?

A wind mitigation inspection documents hurricane-resistant features of your roof and home: roof-to-wall connections, roof geometry, opening protection, etc. Florida law requires insurers to offer discounts for qualifying features. A $150 inspection can save you 10-45% on your homeowner's insurance annually.

Do I need a roof certification to sell my home?

While not legally required, many buyers and lenders require roof certifications in Florida. Having a certification available shows transparency and can speed up the sale. If issues are found, addressing them before listing prevents negotiation problems later.

How long is a roof certification valid?

Most roof certifications are valid for 1-3 years depending on the insurer's requirements. However, conditions can change after major storms—some insurers require new inspections after hurricanes. We recommend keeping your certification current and re-inspecting after severe weather.

What if my roof fails certification?

If your roof doesn't meet certification standards, we'll explain exactly what issues were found. In many cases, repairs can address the problems and allow certification. We provide repair estimates and can often schedule work quickly. Sometimes replacement is the more cost-effective option.
