What Is a Roof Certification?
A roof certification is a professional report prepared by a licensed roofing contractor confirming that your roof is free of visible defects and expected to remain watertight for 2 to 5 years.
It helps:
• Homeowners sell faster and avoid surprises
• Buyers and lenders verify condition
• Insurers confirm coverage eligibility
• Municipalities approve change-of-occupancy inspections

Minor repairs needed to meet certification standards can often be completed and certified the same day.
