Your insurer is asking about the roof, a storm just passed, or you are buying or selling a home. APEX Roofing of Delray Beach checks the roof and the attic, photographs every problem, and gives you a written report on its condition and how much life it has left, with no pressure to buy anything.
A renewal notice, a new policy, or a question about roof age. A written condition report gives the insurer facts instead of a guess based on the year the roof went on.
Lifted shingles, cracked tiles, and bent flashing are easy to miss from the ground. Photos taken soon after the storm help if you file a claim.
Know what the roof needs before you negotiate, so a surprise does not show up after closing.
Small fixes in the spring cost far less than storm damage in September.
Many leaks and insurance problems start in places you cannot see from the driveway, so we check the roof and the attic under it.
You see what we see, including the parts of the roof you cannot reach, with each photo labeled so you know where it is.
The condition of each part of the roof and an estimate of how many years it has left, in writing you can hand to an insurer, a buyer, or a lender.
Nothing, a little maintenance, a roof repair, or a roof replacement. If the roof is fine, we say so.
In Fort Lauderdale, a roof inspection is often about keeping your homeowners policy. Here is what the rules say.
Under Florida law, an insurer cannot refuse to write or renew a homeowners policy only because of roof age if the roof is under 15 years old. For older roofs, the same applies when an inspection shows at least 5 years of useful life left.
Some insurers, including Citizens, ask for a roof condition form, and a licensed roofing contractor is one of the professionals allowed to complete it. Ask us about it when you book.
A wind mitigation report can lower your premium. It is signed by a licensed home inspector, general contractor, engineer, or architect, and we fix or upgrade what it points out on the roof.
General information, not legal or insurance advice. Your insurer decides what it accepts.
Tell us why you need the inspection, for insurance, after a storm, or for a sale, so we know what the report has to cover.
We walk the roof where it is safe to, check every opening and edge, and photograph what we find.
We look for stains, daylight, and moisture on the underside of the deck, where leaks show first.
Photos, the condition of each part of the roof, and how many years it has left.
We walk you through the findings. If nothing needs doing, nothing gets sold.
Most roofs in Fort Lauderdale fail at small parts first. Keeping those in shape is what stretches the life of the whole roof.
Real reviews from homeowners across Broward and Palm Beach counties.
We inspect roofs across Fort Lauderdale, including Bal Harbour, Bermuda Riviera, Coral Ridge, Coral Ridge Isles, Imperial Point, Galt Mile, and Palm Aire Village.
We tell you the price when you book, before anyone comes out, so there is no surprise on the day. If the inspection turns up work, the repair or replacement is quoted separately and in writing. You can start with our online roofing estimate.
Most homes take about an hour between the roof and the attic. Large or steep roofs, and roofs with several sections, take longer.
Once a year, and again after any named storm that passes close to Fort Lauderdale. Older roofs, and roofs your insurer is watching, are worth checking before hurricane season each spring.
It can. If your roof is 15 years or older, an inspection that shows at least 5 years of useful life left gives your insurer a reason other than age to decide on your policy. If the report shows the roof needs work, our storm damage restoration page covers what happens when a storm caused it.
Yes. Most roofs we inspect need maintenance or a repair, not a replacement, and the report says which. When a roof repair will do the job, that is what we recommend.
The roof and the attic checked, photos of every problem, and a written report you can hand to your insurer.
