Roof Inspections in Tampa Bay
An honest look at your roof, with photos, a written report, and zero pressure to buy anything afterward.
Types Of Inspections We Do
Pre-Purchase Inspection
Under contract on a house? Get a roofer to look at the roof before closing. A home inspector hits the basics; a roofing contractor knows what to look for underneath, lifted shingles, failed flashing, soft decking, and signs of past repair work that might hide bigger issues.
Insurance Claim Inspection
After a storm, hurricane, or hail event. We document damage, provide written scope of work and photos for your insurance adjuster. We're roofers, not public adjusters, so we give you the facts, not a negotiating position.
Maintenance / Peace-Of-Mind Inspection
Recommended every 2-3 years in Florida, especially for roofs past the 10-year mark. Catches small problems, cracked boots, failing sealant, lifting edges, before they become leaks.
Insurance Renewal Inspection
Florida insurance carriers are increasingly requiring a roof condition report before renewing policies on older roofs. We provide the 4-point roof section in a format your carrier will accept.
What's In The Report
- Overall roof condition and estimated remaining life
- Material type, manufacturer (where visible), and approximate age
- Photos of every quadrant, penetrations, valleys, and ridges
- Close-ups of any problem areas
- Flashing, drip edge, and gutter condition notes
- Attic ventilation observations (if accessible)
- Specific repair recommendations, ranked by urgency
- Honest call on whether repair or replacement makes sense

Standard residential roof inspections in Tampa Bay typically run $150-$300 depending on complexity. Pre-purchase inspections are often waived or credited back if we end up doing the work.

Can you inspect my roof for an insurance claim?
Yes. We document damage, provide a written scope of work and photos. We're roofers, not public adjusters, we don't negotiate claims, but we give your adjuster what they need.
