Roof inspections in Fort Myers
Know where your roof stands before insurance renewal, after a storm or before you buy.
Good times to have your roof checked
- Before hurricane season starts in June, and after any named storm
- When your insurer asks about roof age or condition at renewal
- Before you buy, sell or refinance a home
- When you notice a ceiling stain, loose tile or debris in the gutters
What's included
The roofer walks the roof (or uses a drone on steep or fragile roofs), checks shingles or tile, flashing, valleys, vents and pipe boots, gutters and drip edge, and looks in the attic for staining or damp insulation. You should receive photos and a plain explanation of what needs attention now and what can wait.
Inspections and Florida insurance
Lee County homeowners know how closely insurers look at roofs. An inspection report showing the roof's condition and remaining life can help at renewal time, and fixing small issues it identifies can keep a roof insurable for longer.
Buying a home? Check the permit history for the address with the right building department. It shows when the roof was last replaced and whether the final inspection passed.
Questions we hear
Is a roof inspection free?
Many roofers inspect for free when you are considering a repair or new roof. A written report for an insurer, lender or home sale may carry a fee. Ask when you schedule.
Roof inspection vs. 4-point vs. wind mitigation?
A roofer's inspection tells you what needs fixing. A 4-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and a wind-mitigation inspection are standard forms insurers request, usually completed by a licensed home inspector.
When should I get an inspection after a hurricane?
As soon as it is safe and roofers are available. Damage that isn't visible from the ground, such as lifted shingles or cracked tile, can lead to leaks weeks later, and insurers set deadlines for claims.
