PEACE OF MIND BEFORE YOU SIGN
Roof Certification Inspection
Insurance companies know how old your roof is and how long it should last, and will often require a roof certification inspection as it nears the end of its life expectancy. This verifies the roof has a minimum of 3–5 years life remaining there are no signs of visible leaks, damage or repairs.
Upon completion, you’ll get a full color report on the overall condition of the roof system and any potential issues that may affect insurability. It is then submitted to your insurer to evaluate and give direction as to what’s needed.  Â
What You Can Do
Roof maintenance is often overlooked, but a little effort and periodic maintenance can go a long way to extending the lifespan of your roof. Keeping premiums low and adding longevity can be as simple as:
- Have your roof inspected after a major wind event.
- Have your roof inspected every 2–3 years as it nears the end of its life span. Your insurer will be able to tell you based on your roof type.
- Check for leaks and be quick to make repairs. While you’re at it, look for other vulnerable areas that are prone to leaking and do some preventive maintenance before they leak.
- Ensure your roof is clean. Moss, mold, and debris can damage your roof's protective layer.
- Prevent damage by removing any potential wind-borne debris, prune, or remove all trees that are within 1.5x the distance of their mature height, from the structure.
- Keep gutters clean.
