Roof Certifications are a professional opinion based an inspection of the roof. Any leaks past or present must be disclosed prior to the inspection. Our goal is to bring the roof to a serviceable condition for the certification period barring any natural disaster. A serviceable roof is one that is not leaking, in good condition and meets building codes. A certification is not a warranty. A roof can either be certified "as is" or need to have recommended repairs or replacement prior to the roof certification being issued. A roof certification can be transferred from a seller to a buyer. We only charge the $35.00 for roofs that can be certified "As Is." If repairs or replacement are needed for roof to certify, there is no charge for our evaluation. We will provide you with free estimates for the minimum work needed to certify.
Roof Certification Inspection Includes Checking the Roof for:
We do not inspect chimney caps unless specifically asked to do so. Unless a leak exists our inspection is exterior only. We do not inspect gutters or siding as part of the certification. Skylight inspection relates to where skylight meets roof line and not the glass pane of skylight.
Once repairs have been made and certification has been issued the contractor is not responsible for future damage caused by wind, hail, animals, trees, people or failure for home owner to have routine maintenance such as sealing flashing performed. Cosmetic issues are not a factor in determining if a roof is serviceable. However, the contractor will fix roof leaks at no cost due to normal wear conditions during the certification period.
Our inspectors will measure your roof, check the number of existing layers, check the number of existing penetrations & our office will get prices from three roof contractors for you.
If you already know what you need repaired just give us the details & we will send out our inspector to get the information required to provide you with an estimate. For roofs with a leak our inspector may need a window of time you will be home to let us see where leak is entering the home.
Our inspector will check for missing shingles, evidence of damaging hail to your roof and point out any maintenance issues that could extend the life of your roof and prevent a future leak.
Our inspectors will measure existing gutters for replacement where normal facia exists and our office will get prices from three gutter contractors.
