Repair or replace?
Before you spend on a repair, know whether the roof has enough life left to justify it.

Roof inspections
Quick answer
A roof inspection tells you what condition the roof is in, what needs attention now and roughly how much life it has left. It is the right first step when you are deciding between repair and replacement, buying or selling a home, renewing insurance on an older roof, or checking after a storm.
What we check
- Roof covering: wear, granule loss, cracked or slipped tile, panel condition
- Flashing at walls, chimneys, skylights and valleys
- Pipe boots, vents and other penetrations
- Soft spots in the decking
- The attic, where accessible: stains, daylight, wet decking and ventilation
- Gutters, drip edge and drainage
- Past repairs and how they are holding up
What you get
A plain-English summary of what we found, with photos: what needs attention now, what can wait, and whether repair or replacement makes more sense. If work is needed, a written estimate.
Some insurers and lenders require a specific form, such as a four-point or wind mitigation inspection, completed by a specific type of inspector. Ask your agent which form they need before you book.
When to get a roof inspected
Buying or selling
Understand the roof’s condition before you negotiate.
Older roof and insurance
Many Florida insurers look closely at older roofs. Know where yours stands.
After a storm
Wind damage is not always visible from the ground.
How often should a roof be inspected in Florida?
Once a year is a sensible habit, ideally in spring before hurricane season, and again after any major storm.
