Questions? Answers.

What is a roofing certification?

A roofing certification, also known as a roof inspection report or roof certification, is a document provided by a licensed roofing contractor that assesses the condition of the roof and certifies its integrity for a specified period.

When is a roofing certification required?

Lenders and insurers often require a roofing certification to ensure that the roof is in good condition and not in need of immediate repair or replacement. This helps protect their investment and reduces the risk of future claims or issues.

When is a roofing certification typically required?

A roofing certification may be required during the home buying process, especially if the roof is older or has experienced previous damage. It may also be required when refinancing a mortgage or renewing homeowners insurance.

What does a roofing certification entail?

A roofing certification involves a thorough inspection of the roof by a licensed roofing contractor. The inspector will assess the condition of the roof, including its age, materials, condition of shingles or tiles, flashing, and any signs of leaks or damage.

How long does a roofing certification last?

The validity period of a roofing certification can vary depending on the requirements of the lender or insurer. Typically, certifications are valid for one to five years, but this may vary based on factors such as the age and condition of the roof.

What happens if the roof does not pass the certification inspection?

If the roof does not meet the requirements for certification, the homeowner may be required to make repairs or replace the roof before the certification can be issued. In some cases, lenders or insurers may offer conditional approval contingent on repairs being completed.

Can any roofing contractor provide a roofing certification?

Not necessarily. Some lenders and insurers may have specific requirements for roofing certifications, including qualifications for the inspector or certain inspection criteria. It's important to work with a licensed and reputable roofing contractor familiar with certification requirements.
