Whether you currently reside in Safety Harbor, Clearwater, St Petersburg, Dunedin, Pinellas County, or the surrounding Tampa Bay area, the number one question being posed to our Home Inspectors here at ON THE GULF HOME INSPECTION SERVICES is; "What exactly is a Roof Certification Inspection? " followed by; what are Four Point Insurance Inspections and Wind Mitigation Inspections?
A Roof Certification Inspection is an inspection performed at the request of Citizens Insurance or your insurance company through your insurance agent. The Roof Certification Inspection is typically requested by Citizens on homes which are 25 years and older. The reason Citizens and other insurers use 25 years as a benchmark for this type of inspection is based on the life expectancy of the average asphalt roof covering. While Citizens or your insurer knows the age of your home or the one you are about to purchase, they do not know if the roof covering has ever been updated. This is important as it will determine if the insurer will renew or write a new policy based on their insurability guidelines.
When performing the Roof Certification Inspection, our Home Inspectors here at
ON THE GULF HOME INSPECTION SERVICES ascertain the following information for Citizens Insurance your insurance carrier:
- Roof Covering Material (asphalt shingle, tile etc)
- Age of the Roof Covering
- Date the Roof was last updated
- If updated, was there a full or partial replacement
- Visible signs of damage/deterioration
- Signs of leaks
Once this information is obtained along with supporting photos, a CIT RCF-1 02/11 form (Roof Condition Certification Form) is completed by our Home Inspector and submitted to your insurance agent along with a copy to you.
Our Roof Certification Inspection, Four (4) Point Insurance Inspection and Wind Mitigation reports are generated on the State of the Art iPad 3 which provides for a clear, concise and typed written format with captioned photos for easy identification. The Roof Certification report is completed by our Home Inspector and submitted in an easy to read PDF format to you and your Insurance Agent by way of email within 2 hours of the completion of our inspection. Your agent will then forward the report to Citizens or your insurer.
