Roof certification is a professional assessment provided by a certified roofing contractor or inspector, stating the condition and estimated lifespan of a roof.

​

This certification is often required during real estate transactions or by insurance companies to ensure the roof is in good condition and will not require immediate replacement or extensive repairs.

 

Key aspects of roof certification include:

​

• Inspection: A thorough examination of the roof's materials, structure, and overall condition. This includes checking for leaks, damage, wear and tear, and the quality of installation.

• Repairs: If any issues are found during the inspection, they must be repaired before the roof can be certified.

• Certification Document: A formal document stating the roof's condition, any repairs made, and an estimate of its remaining lifespan. This document usually specifies a time frame during which the certification is valid, typically 6 months to 1 year. Depends on the carrier (Insurance)

Roof certification provides peace of mind to buyers, sellers, and homeowners by ensuring that the roof is in good condition and will protect the property as intended.
