Know Your Roof's Condition. Get the Documentation You Need.
When your Florida insurance carrier requests a roof certification or roof condition report, Pro #1 Inspections evaluates visible roof conditions and documents the information available for insurer review.
Focused Roof Documentation for Insurance.
A roof certification inspection is a limited-scope evaluation intended to document observable roof conditions and information requested by an insurance company. It may be required for a new policy, renewal, or underwriting review.
It is not a guarantee that the roof is free of leaks, will last a specific number of years, or will be accepted by an insurer.
What Does the Report Include?
Depending on the insurer's form and available evidence, the report may identify roof covering materials, available installation or replacement dates, visible deficiencies, signs of leakage, and an assessment of condition and estimated remaining service life.
What We Review
Our inspector reviews safely accessible roof-related conditions within the agreed inspection scope and documents relevant observations.
Roof Covering
Visible roofing materials and overall observed covering condition, including shingles, tile, metal, or other systems as applicable.
Roof Age & Records
Available roof installation dates, replacement history, permits, and other supporting documentation where verifiable.
Visible Damage
Observable missing, displaced, cracked, or damaged roof coverings and other visible concerns.
Moisture-Related Signs
Accessible visible signs of roof leakage or moisture intrusion, when present at the time of inspection.
Flashings & Penetrations
Visible roof transitions, penetrations, flashing areas, and sealant conditions where safely observable.
Condition & Estimated Life
A condition-based assessment and estimated remaining service life where the applicable form requests it and available evidence supports an opinion.
Helpful Information to Have Ready.
Roof age and replacement history can be difficult to confirm from appearance alone. If available, share roofing permits, invoices, installation records, or previous insurance documentation.
We use available evidence and observable conditions to complete the agreed report. Inaccessible or concealed components cannot be fully assessed.

Roof Certification FAQs
Is a roof certification the same as a full home inspection?
No. A roof certification is focused on roof-related conditions and insurer-requested documentation. A comprehensive home inspection covers additional accessible systems and components.
Can you determine the exact age of my roof?
We can use permits and other reliable records when available. Without supporting documentation, the roof age may need to be reported as estimated or unverified.
Does the report guarantee my roof will qualify for insurance?
No. Each insurer applies its own underwriting criteria and decides whether the report and roof are acceptable.
Will the inspector walk on my roof?
Not necessarily. Roof access depends on safety, material condition, pitch, weather, and other factors. Alternative visual methods may be used.
Can I request a 4-Point or Wind Mitigation inspection too?
Yes. Tell us which reports your insurance company requests so the services can be coordinated.
