A roof certification from Scotti Family Roofing is a signed letter, under our license CCC1337501, stating the condition of your roof and its estimated remaining life, backed by photos of the whole roof. We come out, inspect every slope, and write it up for whoever asked for it.
Who asks for one
- Your insurer. Florida insurers can ask for an inspection before writing or renewing a policy on a roof 15 years or older, and a roof shown to have five or more years of life left cannot be refused for its age alone.
- Your buyer or their lender. Many want one before a closing on an older roof.
- You, before you list. A signed letter answers the roof question before a buyer's inspector asks it.
What it includes
- A visual inspection of the whole roof from the outside
- Photos of every slope, the valleys, the flashing, the penetrations and any problem spots
- The material, its approximate age and its estimated remaining life
- The signed letter, ready for your insurer, lender or buyer
We only certify a roof that earns it. If we find problems, we tell you what they are and give you a written price for the repair or a new roof, and we certify once the roof is sound. Hire us for that work within 30 days of the certification visit and the fee you paid is credited in full against the invoice.
What it costs
The letter is $150 for a one story home and $199 for a two story home.
Certification and the maintenance plan
A certification and the first visit of our roof maintenance plan look at the same roof the same way, so you never pay for both. Join the plan within 30 days of your certification and its fee is credited in full, just as it is against a repair or a new roof from us. Join the plan first, and your first visit includes the signed certification letter at no extra charge.

How long is a roof certification good for?
Each insurer and lender sets its own rule on how recent the letter must be. Ask yours what it needs before you book.
What if my roof does not pass?
We show you what is wrong, with photos, and give you a written price to repair it or replace the roof. Hire us for that work within 30 days of the certification visit and your certification fee comes off the invoice in full. Once the roof is sound, we certify it.
Is a roof certification the same as a 4 point or a wind mitigation inspection?
No. A 4 point covers the roof, electrical, plumbing, and heating and cooling, and a wind mitigation inspection records how the home resists wind on the state's 1802 form. A roof certification is our own signed letter on the roof alone.
