FLAT ROOF SERVICES
Roof Certification for Sale & Refinance
Selling, buying, or refinancing a Berkeley property with a flat roof? We inspect and document its condition for escrow, lenders, or your own peace of mind.
Why This Comes Up During Escrow
Mortgage lenders sometimes require a roof certification as a condition of funding, especially when a home inspection flags roof age or visible wear. Reputable roofing contractors will typically only issue a full leak warranty certification on a flat roof they originally installed — which can complicate certification requests on a home with an unknown or undocumented roofing history.
We provide an honest, documented condition assessment — what’s there, what shape it’s in, and what if anything needs attention — to support your transaction, rather than promising a certification we can’t stand behind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you certify a flat roof you didn’t originally install?
We can provide a thorough condition assessment and documentation. Full leak warranty certifications are typically only offered by the original installer, which is worth knowing early in a transaction timeline.
