5-Year Roof Certification

An Alternative to Roof Replacement for Florida Homeowners

Receiving a letter from your insurance company stating that your roof needs replacing can be overwhelming. In Florida, there’s another option. Instead of immediately opting for a costly roof replacement, you may qualify for a 5-Year Roof Certification. This certification can delay the need for a new roof.

What is a 5-Year Roof Certification?

In Florida, insurance companies may require homeowners to replace their roof if it’s old or in poor condition. Typically when your roof reaches the 20-year mark. However, a 5-Year Roof Certification offers an alternative. A licensed roofing contractor issues this certification after inspecting your roof. If your roof is in good shape and can last five more years, you’ll get the certification. This helps you to keep insurance coverage without needing an immediate roof replacement. Even if you have minor damage to your roof, Matthews Roofing is able to perform the repairs and then provide you with the roof certificate.

How the 5-Year Roof Certification Works

Here’s how our process works:

Inspection For Certificate

As a licensed roofing contractor, we’ll come to your home to inspect your roof in accordance with Florida’s standards. This inspection will focus on the overall condition of the roof, looking for any damage, excessive wear and tear, or areas that might need repair.

Repairs (if needed)

If our roofers find issues that may affect your roof’s durability, they will discuss repair options with you. We’ll show you photos and explain the situation. Repairs may include fixing leaks, replacing damaged tiles, sealing seams, or addressing other issues that could impact your roof’s durability. We’ll only proceed with repairs if you approve them.

Roof Certification

Once the roof is in good shape or after any necessary repairs are completed, the roofer will issue the 5-Year Roof Certification. This certification assures your insurance company that your roof is in good condition and capable of withstanding Florida’s harsh weather for the next five years.

Cost of Certification

If your roof doesn’t need repairs and is already in good condition, you can obtain the certification for a fee that covers the cost of the inspection and the certification itself. If repairs are needed, the cost of those repairs will be added to the certification fee.

Why Choose a 5-Year Roof Certification?

  • Save Money: Installing a new roof can be expensive, costing thousands of dollars. A 5-Year Roof Certification helps you avoid this cost. It gives you time to plan for a future replacement.
  • Peace of Mind: You’ll have peace of mind knowing your roof is in good condition and ready to withstand the weather for five more years. This helps to meet your insurance company’s requirements and avoid worrying about future roof issues.
  • Time to Plan: A roof certification buys you time to budget for a roof replacement down the line. This option provides a more manageable and less stressful solution than immediate replacement.
  • Faster Process: Unlike a roof replacement, the 5-Year Roof Certification process is relatively quick and easy. Once the inspection is complete and repairs are done, you’ll have your certification in hand, avoiding the long wait time for a full roof replacement.
