Why Do You Need Roof Inspections & Certificates?
In California, roof inspections and certifications are often required when a home is being sold or refinanced. Mortgage lenders, insurers, and buyers want proof that the roof is safe and will last. A written roof certification typically confirms that the roof has no major issues and is expected to remain leak-free for at least two years.
However, even outside of real estate, regular inspections can catch early problems, such as cracked shingles, soft spots, or worn flashing, before they become costly repairs. In areas like the Greater Los Angeles Area, where heat, wind, and sun wear down roofing materials, timely inspections help extend the life of your roof.
Roof Inspection vs. Roof Certification
It's important to understand the difference between an inspection and a certification. A roof inspection is a complete evaluation of your roof's current state. Our team examines:
The condition of shingles, tiles, or other roofing materials
Flashing and seals around chimneys, skylights, and vents
Any signs of water entry, moisture damage, or mold
The overall structure, slope, drainage, and ventilation
We provide you with a clear report that outlines any issues found and recommends next steps if repairs are needed. A roof certification happens only after an inspection shows that the roof is free of major defects and is likely to perform well for at least two more years. This document is often used during home sales or insurance renewals to confirm that the roof is safe, secure, and code-compliant.
In simple terms:
Inspection = Detailed condition report
Certification = Document confirming life expectancy and roof health

Why Choose Fortex Roofing & Exteriors?
Knowing the right time to schedule a roof inspection can help you avoid expensive surprises. Here are the most common scenarios when you should call Fortex Roofing & Exteriors for a professional evaluation:
- When buying or selling a home, the condition of the roof can impact closing, price negotiations, and insurance approval. An inspection confirms what you're working with before making major decisions.
- When requested by an insurance provider, some policies require certification before coverage is issued or renewed, especially after a storm or as the roof ages.
- When you notice signs of damage, such as leaks, water stains, missing shingles, sagging areas, and visible wear, they should never be ignored. These signs often point to deeper problems.
- When your roof is over 10 years old, aging roofs can hide damage even if they look fine on the surface. Regular inspections after the 10-year mark are a smart way to catch issues early.
- Before storm season, strong winds and rain can cause serious damage to weak roofs. An inspection gives you the chance to make repairs before the weather hits.
As a general rule, we recommend inspecting your roof every 2 to 3 years, even if it appears to be in good condition. Staying ahead of problems saves time, money, and stress.
