Every Kind of Roof Inspection Tampa Homeowners Need
A "roof inspection" can mean four different things depending on who's asking for it — you, your insurer, your lender, or a hurricane. We handle all of them, often in a single visit.
Wind Mitigation Inspections
A wind mitigation report documents the hurricane-resistance features of your roof — covering, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, and secondary water barrier — on Florida's standard Form OIR-B1-1802. Florida law requires insurers to apply discounts for verified features, and on many Tampa Bay policies those credits add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year. We can complete the wind mitigation documentation during the same visit as your free roof inspection.
Insurance & Roof Condition Inspections
Florida carriers increasingly demand proof of roof condition before writing or renewing a policy — especially on roofs 10+ years old. We provide the photo-documented condition reports and remaining-life assessments underwriters ask for, and if you're mid-claim after a storm, we document damage in the format adjusters expect so nothing gets missed or undervalued.
Drone Roof Inspections
For steep, tall, tile, or storm-compromised roofs that aren't safe to walk, we fly a drone to capture high-resolution imagery of every slope, ridge, and penetration — without risking a cracked tile or a fall. Drone imagery supplements, not replaces, the hands-on inspection: wherever the roof is safely walkable, a certified inspector still physically checks flashing, seals, and fasteners up close.
Pre-Purchase & Real Estate Inspections
Buying or selling in Tampa Bay? A roof-specific inspection goes deeper than a general home inspection — we assess actual remaining life, code implications under Florida's 25% reroof rule, and the insurability of the roof, which can make or break a buyer's policy quote before closing.
What Roof Inspections Cost in Tampa — and Why Ours Is Free

How Your Free Inspection Works
Schedule Around Your Calendar
Call (813) 344-5466 or request online — we'll call back within two hours to book a time. After named storms, demand across Hillsborough County spikes fast, so if a storm just passed through Tampa Bay, get on the schedule early.
Exterior & Rooftop Walkthrough
A GAF Master Elite certified inspector physically walks your roof — not a drone-only flyover. We check every shingle field, tile course, or metal panel, plus flashing at chimneys, vents, and valleys, where the majority of Florida roof leaks actually start.
Attic & Ventilation Check
From inside the attic we look for daylight at penetrations, water staining on decking, and blocked soffit vents. Poor ventilation cooks shingles from below in Tampa's heat and can quietly void manufacturer warranties — it's one of the most common issues we find.
Photo-Documented Written Report
You get a written assessment with photos of everything we found, an honest estimate of remaining roof life, and — where relevant — documentation formatted for insurance claims, real estate transactions, or carrier-requested roof condition certifications.
Straight Recommendations, Zero Pressure
If your roof is fine, we say so and tell you when to check again. If repairs make sense, we quote them in writing. And if damage crosses Florida's 25% reroof threshold — where code requires a section be brought fully up to current standards — we explain what that means for repair versus replacement.
An inspection is often the first step toward lowering your insurance bill: pair it with a wind mitigation inspection and the same visit can document the hurricane-resistance features Florida insurers are required to discount — savings that frequently reach hundreds or thousands of dollars per year. And if we do find wind or hail damage up there, our storm damage team handles the entire insurance claim process, from documentation through the final county inspection.
