This is the North Lauderdale page for roof inspection. The short version: you want an honest read on the roof's condition before buying, selling, insuring, or filing a claim, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quotePlank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off. Design wind speeds near the coast are the highest in the state, which changes the nailing pattern, the underlayment, and the price.
On cost: many roofers inspect free in hopes of a job; a paid independent inspection removes that incentive and is worth it for real estate transactions or insurance disputes.

How it works
In Florida, for any roof over 15 years old, effectively yes — carriers want a report showing five or more years of remaining life. In Texas it's less formal but increasingly common on older roofs.
For surface condition, yes, and it's safer on steep or tile roofs. It can't check nail pull-through or feel for soft decking, so it's a complement to a physical inspection, not a replacement, when the roof is questionable.
