Should You Get a Roof Inspection After Buying a Home?
Can I get a roof inspection after buying a home?
Yes—and you should.
Most homeowners in Florida believe the home inspection covers everything. It doesn’t. A general home inspection gives a broad overview but doesn’t dig deep into roofing systems.
At Roof Nuts, we offer detailed buyer roof inspections that go beyond surface-level checks. Whether your home is in Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, or anywhere across Florida, we help you:
Identify hidden roof damage
Assess remaining roof lifespan
Spot signs of poor installation or previous repairs
Get estimates for future maintenance or replacement
Why is a separate roof inspection important?
Even a new-looking roof may have:
Worn or missing flashing
Improper ventilation
Soft decking
Hidden water damage
Our inspections are based on roofing-specific standards from national associations, not general real estate guidelines.
What does a roof inspection include?
Our expert team at Roof Nuts checks:
Shingle, tile, or metal condition
Flashing at penetrations and valleys
Attic ventilation and moisture control
Roof decking integrity
Age, layers, and remaining life expectancy
We document everything with photos and written reports—perfect for buyers needing peace of mind or negotiation leverage.
FAQs
How much does a post-purchase roof inspection cost?
Inspections typically cost less than $250 in most Florida markets, and the insights can save you thousands in future repairs or negotiation credits.
What if I already had a home inspection?
Home inspectors are generalists. Roofers like Roof Nuts are specialists. We often find issues that were missed during general inspections.
Can I schedule an inspection before I move in?
Yes. We work with real estate agents and sellers to schedule roof inspections before or after closing.
Do you inspect in my city?
We serve the entire state of Florida, including Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Cape Coral, and more.
