Roof Certifications

Usually, an insurance carrier will request a roof certification on a home when their documentation shows that a roof is nearing the end of its life expectancy. As certified roof inspectors, the experts at Evolve Property Inspections will provide you with a roof certification inspection report, which you can pass on to your insurance agent. Contact us at (305) 506-8969 or request a quote. We serve Miami-Dade County and the surrounding areas.

What Does a Roof Certification Inspection Include?

During the roof certification process, expect the following steps:

1

You provide a copy of the permit for your roof.

2

You provide copies of any work completed on your roof.

3

The roof certification to take about one hour.

4

We provide a roof certification document and photos of your roof.

Note: If you cannot locate the permit for your roof, we will estimate the useful life remaining on your roof and include that in the report documentation.

Do I Need Other Insurance Inspections?

Keep in mind that insurance companies frequently request two other insurance inspections: a wind mitigation inspection and a 4-point inspection.

Be sure to ask about the possibility of receiving a discount on your insurance with the purchase of qualifying insurance inspections. Some companies discount up to 45% off the regular premium price.

For the best pricing on a roof certification, purchase it in a discounted package with a full home inspection, pre-listing inspection, or commercial inspection. We can schedule all the inspections at the same time.

Florida roofs face heat, rain, wind, and hurricane exposure, so regular professional checks make sense. We recommend inspecting your roof based on its age, condition, storm exposure, and maintenance history, with additional inspections after weather events or when concerns arise.

A roof certification inspection provides documentation about the roof's condition and remaining useful life for insurance purposes. Evolve reviews the roof permit and completed work when available, then provides certification documentation and roof photographs for your insurance agent when needed.

Insurance companies may request roof certification when their records indicate a roof is nearing its expected life. Certification gives the carrier current information about roof condition and remaining useful life, helping underwriters evaluate property risk before approving or renewing coverage.

Yes. Depending on accessibility and inspection needs, specialized tools can reveal issues not visible during a basic visual review. Evolve offers thermal imaging and drone inspection options for hard-to-reach areas, helping identify moisture concerns and other potential roof problems too.

Yes. Roof evaluations can document visible conditions consistent with storm or hurricane damage, such as damaged roofing materials or related concerns. Evolve's inspection services focus on documenting observable conditions, while additional evaluation may be recommended when damage requires specialized assessment.

Before buying, look at roof covering condition, visible damage, flashing, gutters, downspouts, penetrations, and signs of active leaks. Also ask about permits and previous roof work. Evolve can provide a detailed inspection and roof certification when insurance requires documentation.

Roof age can affect insurance decisions, especially when a carrier believes the roof is nearing the end of its expected life. Insurers may request certification or additional documentation. Evolve can evaluate the roof and provide supporting photographs and certification information.

Yes. Our Level II and III certified thermographers use infrared technology to identify temperature patterns associated with moisture beneath roof systems and heat irregularities. Thermal imaging is noninvasive and adds information, but it does not replace a visual roof inspection.
