Services provided were for insurance-required inspections. VERY prompt and results provided very timely. After a month, the insurance company decided that the submitted report was on a state form that had been superseded by 1 WEEK and simply disregarded it, jumping their rates with no explanation. After interrogating the insurance company, they admitted to reason for rate change (no apology for no communication). Re-contacted inspector and the new form was re-submitted to insurance. Response by inspector was understood and immediate. Highly recommend this inspector and company for your S Florida needs!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Angelo Menendez, owner and inspector with Certified Inspectors, LLC. Mr. Menendez provided EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. Mr. Menendez was the ONLY mold inspection company to answer the phone! I called seven (7) and sent at least five (5) text messages. Again, Mr. Menendez was the ONLY company to respond! He answered all questions and made an appointment immediately as the matter was urgent. Mr. Menendez also arrived early for the appointment, was professional, serious and knowledgeable. The mold report received was scientific, in color, quantative disaggregated by a science lab with a PhD scientist. The report was detailed, organized, biologically relevant and included graphical analysis and recommendations. Mr. Menendez also followed up the appointment with a courteous telephone call. Extraordinary service! Also, Mr. Menendez inspects MOBILE HOMES. This was a 1974 2/2 mobile home. Many inspectors from my understanding do not consider mobile homes worth the time. I mean the Margate Building Code Department does not even bother to regulate so thank you Mr. Menendez for taking the time to come inspect and provide a report. I appreciate your time, courteousness and professionalism.

This is the third time I have used Certified Inspectors. Angelo has always been professional. We have a 700 foot seawall that needed to be inspected. His feed back and report were very informative and easy to understand. Angelo also did our wind mitigation roof report for our 28 townhome community. I highly recommend Certified Inspectors.

Why Homeowners Choose Certified Inspectors

Roof inspections require specialized knowledge of roofing systems, materials, and South Florida’s unique climate challenges. Our licensed inspectors provide thorough evaluations with actionable insights.

Licensed Roof Inspection Specialists

Our inspectors hold state licenses and specialized roofing certifications. We understand shingle composition, tile installation, metal roofing systems, flat roof membranes, and the unique challenges of South Florida’s salt air, intense sun, and hurricane exposure.

Drone Technology for Safe Inspections

We utilize advanced drone technology with high-resolution cameras for comprehensive roof documentation without the risk of inspector injury or roof damage from walking. Drone inspections are ideal for steep, high, or fragile roofs while providing exceptional photo documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Inspections

How long does a home inspection take?

Most residential roof inspections take 1-2 hours depending on roof size, complexity, and accessibility. Complex roofs with multiple levels, skylights, or extensive damage may take longer. The detailed report is delivered within 24 hours of the inspection.

Will you walk on my roof?

We use the safest inspection method for each roof. For accessible roofs in good condition, we may walk on them to conduct close-up inspections. For steep, high, fragile, or wet roofs, we use drone technology to avoid damage and ensure inspector safety while still providing comprehensive documentation.

How accurate are remaining life estimates?

Remaining life estimates are based on current condition, material type, installation quality, maintenance history, and typical service life for South Florida conditions. While we cannot predict future weather events or maintenance, our estimates provide reasonable expectations for budgeting and planning purposes.

Do you provide repair cost estimates?

Yes, our reports include general repair cost ranges for identified defects. These estimates help with budgeting, real estate negotiations, and planning. For detailed contractor quotes, we can provide referrals to licensed roofing contractors.

Can you inspect my roof after a storm?

Yes, we provide post-storm roof inspections for insurance claim documentation. We identify and photograph wind damage, missing shingles, hail impact, and water intrusion with detailed evidence to support your insurance claim.

How often should I have my roof inspected?

We recommend annual roof inspections for homes in South Florida due to harsh weather conditions, especially after hurricane season. For older roofs (15+ years), bi-annual inspections help catch issues early. Always inspect after severe weather events.
