At Freeman Home Inspections, we provide professional roof certification inspections to meet the documentation requirements of insurance companies. If you’re renewing or applying for a homeowner’s insurance policy — especially for an older home — your insurer may request a roof certification to verify the age, condition, and remaining useful life of the roof.

This inspection helps insurance companies determine whether the roof presents a risk of future claims due to leaks, deterioration, or structural issues. For homeowners, a roof certification can help avoid policy cancellations, coverage delays, or premium increases.

What Is a Roof Certification Inspection?

A roof certification is not a full home inspection. It’s a focused, documented assessment of the roof’s current condition, including an estimate of its remaining lifespan. The inspection must be completed by a licensed and qualified professional — and that’s where Freeman Home Inspections comes in.

We inspect and report on:

• Type of Roofing Material: Shingle, tile, metal, or flat roofing — each has different wear characteristics.

• Age of the Roof: Verified by permitting records or visual condition.

• Overall Condition: We check for signs of wear, damage, sagging, improper installation, and storm-related issues.

• Active Leaks or Water Intrusion: Interior or attic signs of water damage or ongoing leakage.

• Visible Repairs or Maintenance Needs: Patch jobs, flashing issues, or areas that could cause concern for insurers.

• Estimated Remaining Useful Life: We provide a professional opinion on how many years the roof is expected to remain serviceable under normal conditions.
