Pre-purchase inspection: Buying a home? The general home inspector spends 10 minutes looking at the roof from the ground with binoculars. We get on the roof, check every penetration, every valley, every flashing detail, and give you a written report with estimated remaining life and projected repair costs. This report has saved buyers thousands in post-purchase surprises.
Insurance inspection / wind mitigation: Florida law requires insurance companies to offer discounts for homes with documented wind mitigation features. A wind mitigation inspection documents your roof's wind resistance and can reduce your insurance premium by 20-45%. The inspection costs $150 — the annual savings often exceed $500.
Annual maintenance inspection: Even a healthy roof needs annual attention in Florida. We check for developing problems while they're still cheap to fix. A $200 inspection that catches a failing pipe boot prevents a $5,000 water damage claim.
Post-storm inspection: After any significant weather event, a documented inspection creates a baseline for insurance claims. Even if you don't see visible damage, wind and hail can compromise shingles and flashing in ways that aren't visible from the ground.
