This is the Nags Head 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 quoteOlder neighborhoods carry historic-review questions on material and color; newer ones carry HOA approvals; the roofer should know which applies to your address. Decade built, number of previous roofs, and any additions all move the number here, which is why a quote starts with a short conversation about the home's history. Roof-to-wall attachment matters more here than anywhere; clips or straps added during a tear-off can move a home a full category on its wind mitigation report.
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
Every slope photographed, flashing and penetrations checked, attic viewed from below where accessible, and a written report with remaining-life estimate. A walk-around from the driveway is not an inspection.
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.
