Roofing inspection planning starts with identifying why the inspection is needed. A maintenance visit, a permit inspection and a building recertification report serve different purposes. Florida property managers should coordinate with the local building department and the appropriately licensed professionals involved in the project.

Identify the authority and scope

Ask the local building department which permits, inspections and product documentation apply to the proposed roofing work. Requirements depend on the property, jurisdiction, assembly and project scope. Do not assume a prior approval for another building covers your project.

Keep project records accessible

Collect roof plans, installation dates, prior repair records and applicable manufacturer warranties. Ask the contractor to identify the proposed assembly and provide the relevant approval documentation. Organize inspection results and any correction notices in the property file.

Separate roofing repairs from formal recertification

A roofing contractor can assess roof condition and carry out contracted repairs. Formal structural and electrical recertification reports require appropriately licensed engineers or architects, as directed by the authority. Coordinate repairs and follow-up inspections with that team.

Questions for your property team

  • Confirm the project jurisdiction.
  • Identify required permits and inspections.
  • Retain approvals and closeout records.
  • Resolve correction notices before closing the file.
