What Is a Certified Roof Inspection?
A certified roof inspection is official. Done by trained pros. They follow industry standards. Not just a quick glance. It documents your roof’s condition. Helps with insurance. Warranties.
Often paired with a detailed roof assessment. Gives the full picture. Surface and hidden issues. Peace of mind.
How It Differs From a Regular Inspection
Visual Inspection: Quick. Spot obvious damage.
Detailed Roof Assessment: Looks deeper. Attic, insulation, structure.
Certified Roof Inspection: Official documentation. Recognized by insurance and warranty providers.
Example: Two homes may look fine. Only a certified inspection finds moisture under shingles that could rot the structure later.
Why Certified Roof Inspections Matter
Investing in one saves money. And stress. And headaches.
Catch Problems Early
Small leaks, curling shingles, worn flashing. They hide. They worsen over time. Certified inspections find them early.
Case Study: Everett homeowner ignored minor shingle curling. Certified inspection revealed water intrusion. Early fix saved $15,000 in attic repairs.
Extend Roof Lifespan
Routine checks. Timely maintenance. Clean gutters. Replace minor damage. Makes the roof last 10–15 more years.
Insurance & Warranty Compliance
Insurance and manufacturer warranties often require proof. Certified inspection provides it. Skip it. Risk denied claims.
Peace of Mind
No guessing. No worrying. Professionals check it all. Document everything. You sleep better.
