Florida insurers look hard at any roof past 15 years, and many Delray Beach roofs are past that mark, from the tile roofs in the communities west of I-95 to older homes near the beach. For a roof inspection in Delray Beach, APEX Roofing of Delray Beach checks the roof and the attic at no charge, photographs what we find, and tells you plainly whether the roof needs nothing, a repair, or a replacement.
A renewal notice, a new policy, or a question about roof age. An inspection gives the insurer facts about the roof instead of a guess based on the year it went on.
Cracked tiles, lifted shingles, and bent flashing are easy to miss from the ground. Photos taken soon after the storm give you a clear record.
Know what the roof needs before you negotiate, whether it is a house east of I-95 or a villa in a community to the west.
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, so the findings are not a matter of taking our word for it.
We go through each part of the roof with you. If your insurer needs a roof condition form or a roof certification, tell us when you book and we will tell you what we can provide.
Nothing, a little maintenance, a roof repair, or a roof replacement. If the roof is fine, we say so.
In Delray Beach, a roof inspection is often about getting or keeping a 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.
Insurers often ask for a roof certification or a roof condition form that states the roof’s age, type, and remaining useful life. Citizens accepts its form from a licensed roofing contractor, among other professionals. 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 to look for. We usually get out within a day or two.
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.
We show you the photos and go through the condition of each part of the roof.
If something needs fixing, you get the price before any work starts. If nothing needs doing, nothing gets sold.
Most Delray Beach roofs 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 Delray Beach, including Lake Ida, Tropic Isle, Seagate, Del-Ida Park, the Marina District, Pineapple Grove, and the communities west of I-95.
Nothing. Our roof inspections are free. If the inspection turns up work, the repair or replacement is quoted separately, and you decide. You can also start with our online roofing estimate.
Usually within a day or two of your call, sooner for an active leak when we can. After a big storm, when every roofer in town is busy, it can take longer.
No. A 4-point inspection, which insurers often ask for on older homes, covers the roof, electrical, plumbing, and heating and cooling, and is usually done by a licensed home inspector. A roof certification looks only at the roof. Your insurer will tell you which one it needs.
Once a year, and again after any named storm that passes close to Delray Beach. Older roofs, and roofs your insurer is watching, are worth checking before hurricane season each spring.
Yes. Most roofs we inspect need maintenance or a repair, not a replacement, and we tell you which. When a roof repair will do the job, that is what we recommend.
The roof and the attic checked, photos of what we find, and a straight answer on what your roof needs.
