What we check on every inspection
A real inspection is more than a glance from the driveway. We get on the roof and into the details that actually predict leaks and failures.
- Tile/shingle condition, granule loss, cracks, and slippage.
- Flashing, valleys, vents, skylights and pipe boots.
- Underlayment and roof-deck integrity where accessible.
- Signs of prior storm or hail damage for insurance purposes.
- Wind-mitigation features that could lower your premium.
Why inspect before hurricane season
Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. A pre-season inspection catches the small problems β a lifted shingle, a dried-out boot β that turn into catastrophic water intrusion when the first big storm rolls through Broward. It also creates a baseline that makes any future insurance claim far stronger.
