When is Roof Certification Required?
Roof certifications are required in various situations throughout South Florida’s real estate and insurance markets.
Insurance Policy Requirements
Most Florida insurance companies require roof certifications for homes with roofs over 15 years old. Some insurers require certification for roofs over 10 years. Citizens Property Insurance typically requires roof inspections for any roof policy application or renewal.
Real Estate Transactions
Mortgage lenders often require roof certifications before closing, especially for older roofs or homes in coastal areas. Buyers want roof certifications to understand remaining useful life and potential replacement costs.
After Storm Damage
Following hurricanes or severe weather events, insurance companies may require roof certifications to verify condition before renewing policies or to document pre-existing conditions versus new damage.
Post-Repair Verification
After roof repairs or replacement, certifications document the work completed and verify that the roof now meets insurance and code requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most insurance companies accept roof certifications that are less than 12 months old. Some insurers require more recent inspections. Check with your insurance agent for specific requirements.
We use the safest inspection method for each roof. For accessible roofs in good condition, we may walk on them. For steep, high, or fragile roofs, we use drone technology to avoid damage and ensure inspector safety.
If we identify significant defects that prevent certification, we document them clearly and provide repair recommendations. You can address the repairs and request a re-inspection for certification.
