★★★★★ South Florida's Top-Rated Home Inspector
Drone-assisted access to the full roof surface — condition assessment, deficiency documentation, and insurance-ready reporting for all roof types. Same-day report.
Drone-Assisted Roof Assessment
In Florida, the roof is the single most important component of any property from an insurance, structural, and financial standpoint. Florida insurance carriers will not write new policies on roofs at end of useful life — and a roof replacement can run $15,000–$50,000 or more depending on home size and material.
TruView's dedicated roof inspection uses drone-assisted access to safely cover every square foot of the roof surface — including steep-pitch tile roofs that cannot be safely walked. The result is a detailed condition report with HD aerial imagery, deficiency documentation, material identification and condition rating, and insurance submittal guidance.

Comprehensive Assessment
Drone and physical access to every section of the roof surface — including valleys, ridges, hips, penetrations, and perimeter edges — ensures no deficiency is missed.
Detailed assessment of the roof covering material — shingles, tile, flat membrane, or metal — including granule loss, cracking, lifting, missing material, and surface degradation.
All roof penetrations — vents, pipes, skylights, chimneys, and HVAC equipment — inspected for failed sealants, deteriorated flashing, and water intrusion paths.
Gutters, downspouts, splash blocks, and roof-to-wall drainage transitions inspected for blockage, improper slope, deterioration, and inadequate drainage away from the foundation.
Attic inspection for roof deck condition, evidence of prior or active leaks, ventilation adequacy, and signs of water damage to structural framing visible from below the roof surface.
Identification of the roof covering material, a documented condition rating, and insurance submittal guidance — the information buyers, sellers, and agents need before negotiating or binding coverage.
Full Roof Coverage
Coverage material assessed for granule loss, cracking, cupping, missing units, surface erosion, and age-related deterioration. Material type, estimated age, and condition rating documented.
TPO, modified bitumen, and BUR surfaces inspected for seam failures, blistering, ponding water areas, surface cracks, and deterioration at parapet walls and drainage points.
Deck condition assessed from attic access for soft spots, rot, prior repair evidence, and structural integrity — particularly important for Florida's humidity and storm exposure history.
Step flashing, counter flashing, pipe boot flashings, and skylight surrounds inspected for sealant failure, rust, improper installation, and gaps that allow water intrusion.
Gutters inspected for proper pitch, secure attachment, debris accumulation, and deterioration. Downspouts traced to confirm proper termination away from the foundation.
Wood and aluminum fascia and soffit inspected for rot, pest damage, paint failure, and ventilation blockage — critical for attic ventilation adequacy and wind uplift resistance.
Ridge cap material and hip tiles or shingles inspected for proper nailing, sealant condition, wind damage, and displacement — a common failure point after Florida storm events.
Ridge vents, soffit vents, gable vents, and turbines inspected for blockage, damage, and adequacy — ensuring attic ventilation meets Florida code requirements for thermal performance and moisture control.
High-definition aerial photography of the full roof surface from multiple angles — included in your same-day report with annotated callouts of all deficiency locations.

Florida Roofing Expertise
Florida's climate and insurance market make roof condition more critical here than anywhere else in the country. TruView inspectors understand what Florida carriers, buyers, and sellers need to know about every roof type common to South Florida.
Florida insurance carriers are highly sensitive to roof age. Most will not write new policies on asphalt shingle roofs older than 15–20 years or flat roofs older than 10–15 years. Even tile roofs — which can last 30–50 years — require inspection when the underlying underlayment (which has a shorter lifespan) is due for replacement. TruView's roof inspection provides the exact documentation — material type, estimated age, and condition rating — that insurance carriers and buyers need before a transaction closes.
Florida's storm season produces roof damage patterns specific to the region: wind-lifted tile edges and ridge caps, granule-stripped shingles from horizontal rain, soffit and fascia damage from wind uplift, and vent cover displacement. Many of these deficiencies are invisible from the ground but documented clearly in drone imagery. TruView strongly recommends a post-storm roof inspection after any event with sustained winds exceeding 50 mph — for both new damage assessment and insurance documentation.
Properties within 1–2 miles of the Atlantic, Gulf, or Biscayne Bay face accelerated roof degradation from salt-laden air. Salt air attacks metal flashings, exposed fasteners, and metal roofing panels — accelerating rust and failure. Asphalt granules degrade faster in salt environments. TruView documents salt-related deterioration patterns that buyers and sellers need to factor into pricing and repair contingencies, particularly in Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, and Palm Beach coastal properties.
South Florida has a high concentration of flat and low-slope roofs — particularly in commercial buildings, mid-century homes, and condo buildings. Flat roofs require different assessment protocols than pitched roofs: ponding water locations, seam conditions, drain locations and adequacy, and membrane surface condition require specific expertise. TruView inspectors assess all low-slope and flat roof systems using both drone imagery and physical surface inspection where safely accessible.

The Preferred Choice in Inspections
Simple Process
Schedule your roof inspection online or by phone. We can usually accommodate same-week scheduling across all five regions. Combine with a home inspection for the best value.
TruView deploys the drone for aerial coverage of the full roof surface. For walkable sections, the inspector performs physical close-up assessment of flashings, gutters, and penetrations. Attic access is included for deck and framing assessment.
Every deficiency is documented with HD images — both aerial drone photos and close-up physical photos at accessible areas. Each finding is described, located, and rated for severity and urgency.
Your complete roof inspection report — with drone imagery, annotated deficiency photos, material identification, and a documented condition rating — is delivered the same day.
Complete Your Due Diligence
Your roof is one piece of the insurance and structural picture — these services complete it.
The 4-point report covers roof age and condition as one of its four components. If your roof inspection reveals a roof nearing end of life, the 4-point documents this for your insurance carrier in the required format.

Learn More →"TruView's drone roof inspection found cracked tile along the east hip that the seller's disclosure never mentioned. With the TruView report and photos, we got a $7,500 credit and the seller handled replacement before closing. The drone images were so clear there was no room for dispute."
"I needed a standalone roof inspection to satisfy my Citizens Insurance renewal. TruView came out in two days, the drone covered every inch of my tile roof, and I had the report that afternoon. My agent said it was the most thorough roof condition report they'd seen from an inspector — Citizens accepted it immediately."
"After Hurricane Idalia we had TruView do a post-storm roof inspection. They found two flashing failures at the chimney that weren't visible from the ground at all — only the drone could get the angle. Insurance adjuster used the TruView report to approve the full repair. Worth every dollar."
Common Questions
TruView's roof inspection includes drone-assisted coverage of the full roof surface, physical inspection of flashings and gutters, attic access for deck and framing assessment, deficiency documentation with HD imagery, and a written report with material identification and condition rating — delivered the same day.
A full home inspection includes a roof assessment, but a dedicated roof inspection provides more detail — drone coverage of every square foot, specific deficiency documentation, and a documented material condition rating. For older roofs or properties where roof condition is an insurance concern, a dedicated roof inspection is strongly recommended.
TruView residential roof inspections are $150–$300 depending on size and complexity, with commercial pricing based on building square footage. Combining a roof inspection with a full home inspection may reduce the total cost versus booking separately.
All South Florida roof types: concrete tile, clay tile, asphalt shingles, flat and low-slope roofs (TPO, modified bitumen, BUR), metal roofing, and mansard or parapet configurations. Drone access allows safe inspection of steep-pitch tile roofs that cannot be safely walked.
Florida roofs face hurricane season, intense UV radiation, salt air exposure, and torrential rain. Most Florida insurance carriers will not write new policies on roofs at end of useful life — and roof replacement costs $15,000–$50,000+. Knowing the exact current condition of the roof is essential before buying any Florida property.
Yes — particularly after any event with sustained winds over 50 mph or significant rainfall. Many storm damage deficiencies (displaced ridge caps, lifted tile edges, flashing failures) are invisible from the ground but documented clearly in drone imagery. Post-storm TruView reports are formatted for insurance claim submission.
