Roof Inspections That Catch Problems Before They Turn into Repairs
You’ve had the home and termite inspection…now it’s time for the roof inspection! A roof inspection is extremely useful and one of the most cost-effective ways to help prevent damage to the home.
We understand the demands of a real estate transaction and our services can assist realtors, brokers, buyers and sellers in determining significant information about the roof that home inspectors often miss. Protecting your investment and the interior of your home should be insuring that the roof system is properly installed and leak free. Whether buying, selling, renting, appraising or remodeling, knowing the true condition of your roof system may alter the direction of your home project.
Roof Inspections
We'll Evaluate Your Roof
A professional, unbiased roof inspection will help you determine the true condition and life expectancy of your roof system. The price for roof inspections are $275.00(depending on location of home). The report is a formal, legal document stating the description of the roof, findings, life expectancy, and work recommended with digital photos.
Roof Certifications
Our Certifications Offer Value And Protection
We offer one-year and two-year roof certifications, which are issued after a thorough roof inspection and the completion of any necessary repairs or reroofing.
- One-Year Certification: $350.00 (plus the cost of any required repairs or reroofing)
- Two-Year Certification: $550.00 (plus the cost of any required repairs or reroofing)
Our roof certifications guarantee that the roof will remain leak-free for the duration of the certification period. If any leaks occur during that time, we will address and repair them at no additional cost to the homeowner.
Reasons To Certify
Get An Estimate On Potential Damage
We also offer free estimates that include a proposal that itemizes any necessary repairs or reroof, the cost for the work, and any warranty that would apply to that particular roof system.
- Prompt Service: We know that there are deadlines and contingencies that need to be met and we try to complete inspections/certifications within 24-48. You will receive a verbal notification the same day the service is performed and the written documentation either faxed or emailed the same day or no later than 24 hours after the service is completed.
- Detailed Follow Through: We make sure any roof work that is necessary is completed on schedule and needed documents are where they need to be on time. We also bill escrow upon request.
- Communication: We believe communication is essential in operating a successful business. Our inspectors and office staff will contact all parties involved (realtors, buyers, sellers, escrow companies) if there are any changes to the scheduling of any work that may be needed on the property or any billing/payment modifications.

Frequently asked questions
Have questions about your roofing project? We’ve got answers. Whether you’re wondering about timelines, materials, warranties, or what to expect during installation, our FAQ section covers the most common questions homeowners ask. Explore below to get the clarity and confidence you need before starting your project with Cal-Vintage Roofing.
What is a roofing inspection and certification?
A roofing inspection and certification is a professional evaluation of your roof’s condition by Cal-Vintage Roofing. After the inspection, if your roof meets certain criteria, we issue a certification that guarantees the roof is leak-free for up to 2 years. This is especially useful during home sales.
Why would I need a roofing inspection and certification?
You may need a roofing inspection and certification when buying or selling a home, refinancing, or securing a homeowner’s insurance policy. It provides peace of mind by confirming that the roof is in good condition and has no active leaks, helping to prevent surprises down the line.
How long does the certification last?
Cal-Vintage Roofing offers roofing certification coverage for up to 2 years from the date of inspection. During this period, the roof is guaranteed to remain free of leaks under normal weather conditions, providing homeowners and buyers with confidence in the roof’s reliability.
What does the roofing inspection include?
Our roofing inspection and certification process includes checking for leaks, assessing shingles or tiles, inspecting flashing, gutters, underlayment, and roof penetrations. We identify any necessary repairs required before certification and provide a detailed report with recommendations.
Can buyers request their own roofing inspection and certification?
Yes, buyers can hire Cal-Vintage Roofing for an independent roofing inspection and certification. This is often a contingency in real estate transactions and ensures that the property’s roof is in acceptable condition before purchase.
What happens if my roof doesn’t pass inspection?
If your roof does not initially qualify for certification, Cal-Vintage Roofing will provide a list of required repairs. Once the repairs are completed—either by us or another qualified contractor—we will re-inspect and can then issue a roofing certification if it meets our standards.
Is roofing certification required to sell my home?
While not legally required, a roofing inspection and certification can significantly ease the home-selling process. It helps sellers remove a potential objection from buyers, disclose roof condition transparently, and sometimes even increase the sale price.
Can the roof be certified if it’s older?
Yes, even older roofs may qualify for certification if they are in good condition and show no signs of leakage or major damage. Cal-Vintage Roofing evaluates the roof’s performance, not just its age, during the inspection process.
