Quick answer: We provide roof certifications for home sales, insurance and refinancing across California: a licensed inspection plus a written certification of the roof's condition and expected remaining life.
Professional roof inspections and certifications for home sales, insurance requirements, and refinancing. Licensed California contractor (CSLB #1126804). Fast turnaround for time-sensitive transactions.
A roof certification is an official document from a licensed roofing contractor stating that a roof has been professionally inspected and is expected to remain in serviceable condition for a specified period, typically 2 to 5 years.
Unlike a general home inspection, a roof certification is performed by a licensed roofing specialist who understands roofing systems in depth. The certification carries the weight of a professional opinion backed by a contractor's license.
The certification document includes the inspection date, roof condition assessment, estimated remaining life, any repairs needed, and the certification period. It is a formal document that lenders, insurance companies, and buyers rely on.
Buyers and their lenders often require a roof certification before closing. A certification can prevent last-minute deal issues and give buyers confidence.
Some insurers require a roof certification before issuing or renewing a policy, especially for older roofs. A certification can help you maintain coverage.
Lenders may require a roof certification as part of the refinancing process to ensure the property's condition supports the loan.
Even without a transaction, a roof certification gives you a professional assessment of your roof's condition and expected lifespan.
Our certification inspection covers every component of your roofing system.
Standard certification for most transactions. Certifies roof is serviceable for 2 years.

The good news: we can often repair minor issues on the spot or schedule quick repairs. Once repairs are complete, we re-inspect and issue your certification.
