Central Florida Roof Inspections

Real Roof Inspections — Not a Drive-By

A proper roof inspection means climbing the roof, looking at every surface, every penetration, every flashing detail, and every valley — and documenting it with photos. Sun State Solar and Roofing produces inspection reports trusted by insurance adjusters, homebuyers, and property managers across Central Florida. Joe McKenna or a senior team member performs every inspection personally.

The difference between a real inspection and a drive-by matters most in three situations: pre-purchase (you don't want to inherit a $20,000 surprise after closing), post-storm (insurers expect proper documentation within their claim window), and at insurance renewal time (Florida insurers are increasingly requiring certified inspections before they'll continue coverage).

Inspection Types

• Pre-purchase — for buyers. Reveals issues general home inspectors miss because they don't climb the roof.
• Post-storm — after hurricanes, named storms, or significant wind events. Critical for insurance claim documentation.
• Insurance-required — for renewal or new policy underwriting. Includes the specific documentation Florida insurers require.
• Routine — annual or biannual maintenance inspections to catch problems early.
• Listing inspections — for sellers who want to disclose condition or pre-empt buyer concerns.
