The roof is one of the most expensive systems in any home and one of the most important to understand before buying or insuring a property in Florida. Our dedicated roof inspection provides a thorough assessment beyond what is covered in a standard home inspection.

What We Examine

• Roofing Materials: Type (asphalt shingle, concrete tile, clay tile, metal, flat), manufacturer, and condition including granule loss, cracking, and delamination.
• Estimated Age & Remaining Life: Inspectors assess wear patterns, UV degradation, and installation details to estimate how much usable life remains.
• Flashing: Valleys, hips, ridges, pipe penetrations, skylights, and chimney step flashing — common sources of leaks when improperly installed.
• Decking: Visible or probed areas of soft decking indicate moisture damage or rot beneath the surface.
• Drainage: Gutters, downspouts, slope, ponding water, and how well the roof moves water away from the structure.
• Attic Evidence: Active or past leaks, staining, mold, and the relationship between roof condition and interior moisture.
• Repair History: Patches, re-roofing layers, and visible evidence of prior storm damage repairs.

Florida Roof Lifespan Guide

Asphalt shingles in Florida last 15-20 years due to UV exposure and heat cycling. Concrete and clay tile lasts 25-50 years. Metal roofs typically last 40-70 years. Insurance companies look closely at roof age — a roof over 15 years often triggers a four point requirement or coverage restriction.

When to Book a Roof Inspection

Book a dedicated roof inspection before purchasing, when filing an insurance renewal, after a significant storm, or any time you notice staining on interior ceilings. Combining a roof inspection with a Wind Mitigation Inspection at the same visit is efficient and cost-effective.
