Know what you actually have before someone tells you.
Free, no-pressure roof inspections for buying, selling, insuring or just finding out how many years you have left.
A real inspection, not a sales appointment
You get photographs, a written condition summary and a straight answer. If nothing needs doing, that’s a perfectly acceptable result.
Condition assessment
Surface material, flashings, penetrations, edge metal and visible decking, documented with photos.
Remaining service life
A realistic estimate of how many years the roof has left in Florida conditions.
Insurance & wind mitigation
What your carrier is likely to ask about, and which discounts your roof may already qualify for.
Pre-purchase inspections
Buying on the Treasure Coast? Find out what the roof is before you close, not after.
Roof age is now an insurance issue in Florida
Carriers are non-renewing policies over roof age and condition. An inspection tells you where you stand before you get the letter.
If your roof is close to the line, we’ll show you the options — including the ones that don’t involve hiring us this year.
What you walk away with
Written summary
A plain-English report you can hand to an insurer, a buyer or your own file.
Photo documentation
Every finding photographed, including the ones you can’t see from the ground.
No obligation
We do not require a decision at the door. There is no expiring discount.
Free, genuinely
No inspection fee, no credited-toward-the-job asterisk.
What we actually look at
A real inspection is roughly 45 to 90 minutes and covers the whole system — not a walk round the yard with binoculars and a clipboard.
The covering itself
Shingle seal strips, granule loss, cupping, cracking and bruising. Tile slips, cracks and broken pieces. Metal panel condition, fastener backout and seam integrity. Photographed, not just noted.
Every penetration
Pipe boots, vent hoods, exhaust flashings, skylights, chimneys and satellite mounts. This is where the overwhelming majority of Florida leaks actually start, so it gets the most time.
Valleys, ridges and edges
Valley metal condition and debris, ridge cap and ridge vent, drip edge, gable and rake detail. The edges are what wind gets underneath first.
Flashing transitions
Wall-to-roof, step and counter flashing, and any roof-to-structure junction. Sealant smeared over a failed flashing is a finding, not a fix.
Inside the attic
Stained or delaminated sheathing, rusted nail shanks, daylight at penetrations, matted insulation and ventilation adequacy. The attic tells you how long something has been wet.
Drainage and soffit
Gutters, downspout discharge, standing water on low-slope sections, and fascia and soffit condition. Water that cannot leave the roof finds another way off it.
What you get afterwards
Something you can actually use — including for a second opinion from someone else.
A photo set of your roof
Pictures of every defect we found, on your roof, so you are not taking our word for anything. If someone shows you a stock photo of hail damage instead of a picture of your own shingles, that is the moment to end the conversation.
A written condition summary
What we found, how serious each item is, and what we would do about it. In plain language, not a list of part numbers.
A realistic remaining-life estimate
Roughly how much service life the roof has left in our climate, and what would extend it. This is the single most useful number for anyone deciding between fixing and replacing.
A quote only if you want one
If you want pricing we will provide it, itemised and in writing. If you just wanted to know where you stand, that is a perfectly good outcome and we will leave it there.
No obligation, and no pressure
We do not sell on the driveway. If the honest answer is that your roof is fine for another five years, that is what the report will say — and that is the report that earns the call when it is not fine.
When you should get one
Five situations where an inspection pays for itself immediately — and it is free, so the bar is low.
After any named storm
Wind damage is frequently invisible from the ground. Broken seal strips, lifted tabs and displaced tile all look normal from the driveway and leak six months later. Florida gives you one year from the date of loss to file a claim, so finding it early matters. See hurricane roof damage.
Before you buy or sell
A four-point or standard home inspection gives the roof a few minutes. A roofing inspection tells a buyer what they are inheriting and gives a seller the chance to fix or disclose it before it becomes a negotiating lever.
Before renewal, or after a non-renewal letter
Carriers are aggressive about roof age in Florida right now. Knowing the real condition and remaining life before you talk to your agent puts you in a much better position. See roof age and insurance.
Once your roof passes 10 years
Not because something is wrong, but because pipe boots and sealant start failing around then and they are cheap to replace before they leak. A 10-minute boot swap now is a ceiling you do not replace later.
Any time you see a stain
A ceiling stain means water has been getting in for a while. The entry point is almost never directly above it. See roof leak repair.
Before a big interior project
If you are about to redo ceilings, flooring or a kitchen, confirm the roof above it is sound first. Finding a leak after the drywall is up is an expensive way to learn.
Roof inspection vs wind mitigation inspection
These get confused constantly, they are not the same thing, and you probably want both.
A roof inspection tells you about condition
That is what we do, and it is free. Is the roof sound, what is failing, how long has it got. It is a maintenance and decision-making document.
A wind mitigation inspection tells your insurer about construction
It is a state form — OIR-B1-1802 — completed by a licensed inspector, engineer or architect, and it exists purely to document features that qualify you for windstorm premium credits. It typically costs $75 to $150 and is not something a roofing contractor issues.
The form was rewritten in April 2026
The current version, OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26), took effect 1 April 2026 — the first substantial revision since 2012. It now requires attic-view photographs to verify nail length and underlayment type, and it adds a pathway for closed-cell spray foam rated at 110 PSF uplift. If yours is older than that, it is worth having a new one done.
It rates seven things
Roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, roof geometry, secondary water resistance, opening protection and building code era. Credits apply only to the windstorm portion of your premium, but they are capped by statute at 88% of that portion — which on an older Treasure Coast home can be a very large number.
Our part in it
We build roofs so they score well — 8d ring-shank deck re-nailing at 6 inches in the field and 4 inches at the perimeter, a proper secondary water barrier, and documented product approvals. Then we tell you to go get the form done, because the credit does not exist until someone writes it down. See our wind mitigation guide.
What an honest inspection will not do
The roofing industry has a reputation problem in Florida and it was earned. Here is what we do not do.
We will not manufacture damage
Not on the roof, not in the report. Creating damage to support a claim is insurance fraud, and it is more common after storms than anyone wants to admit.
We will not sell you a roof you do not need
If the answer is that you have five good years left, the report says five good years. See hurricane roofing scams for the tactics to watch for.
We will not ask you to sign on the spot
No "today only" pricing, no assignment of benefits pushed across the tailgate, no contract disguised as an inspection authorisation.
We will not guess at your claim
We document what we find accurately and let your adjuster do their job. If it is storm damage we will say so and support it. If it is wear, we will say that too.
Roof inspection FAQs
Is the inspection genuinely free?
Yes. No fee, no callout charge, no obligation, and no requirement to get a quote afterwards.
How long does it take?
Usually 45 to 90 minutes depending on roof size and complexity, including attic access where it is available.
Do you need to get into my attic?
We would like to. The attic is where you see whether water has been getting in and for how long, and it is the only place to properly assess ventilation. If access is not available we will tell you what that limits in the report.
Do you walk on the roof?
Where it is safe and the material allows it, yes — you cannot assess seal strips and fastener condition from the ground. On fragile tile, very steep pitches or compromised decking we use ladder access, drone imagery and edge inspection instead, and we tell you which method we used.
Will you find something wrong just to sell me work?
No. A meaningful share of our inspections conclude that the roof is fine and the owner should call us in a couple of years. That is the whole reason the inspection is free.
Can I use your report for an insurance claim?
You can use it as supporting documentation, and we write it with that in mind — dated photographs, measurements and plain descriptions. Your carrier will still send their own adjuster, and we are happy to meet them on site.
Do you inspect commercial and flat roofs?
Yes. Low-slope inspections focus on seams, terminations, drains, ponding and rooftop equipment penetrations. See flat & low-slope roofing and commercial roof repair.
How often should a roof be inspected in Florida?
Annually once it passes about 10 years, and after any named storm regardless of age. UV, salt air and wind age a Florida roof faster than the same roof inland.
Do you provide wind mitigation forms?
No — that is a separate inspection performed by a licensed inspector, engineer or architect on state form OIR-B1-1802. We build to earn the credits and will tell you what your roof should score, then you have the form done independently.
What if I need repairs after the inspection?
We will give you an itemised written quote and you are under no obligation to use us. Take it and compare it — we price expecting you to.
