Roof Inspection in Boca Raton, FL

Sometimes, with authorization. The airport says drone flights under 400 feet in its controlled airspace need FAA authorization first. We check your address before the visit, and if a flight isn't possible, we use safe vantage points and the attic.

Old Floresta is a city historic district, so check with the City of Boca Raton before work starts. Many gated communities also have association rules on materials and color. We report condition. Approvals and permits are between you, your roofer and those bodies.

The tile may not be. Tile often outlasts its underlayment, which commonly needs replacing after about 20 to 25 years. A 1990s roof on original underlayment is past that range, so expect us to look hard for attic stains and slipped tile.

Age alone has limits as a reason. Section 627.7011, Florida Statutes, bars refusing a policy solely over the age of a roof under 15 years old. For older roofs, the insurer must allow an inspection at your expense, and 5 or more years of useful life keeps age alone from being the reason.

They answer different questions. The roof report covers condition and remaining life, while the wind mitigation form records the covering, deck attachment, geometry and sealed deck. A new permit date from a re-roof in Boca Raton can change the form, so it is worth updating.

Not if it risks breaking tile. Barrel tile is easy to crack underfoot, so a drone or a safe vantage point gives a better view without the damage.

It is covered in a full home inspection. Order this one alone when the roof is the real question: a renewal, a storm or a sale where the roof's remaining life is the point of argument.
