This is the Grey Forest 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 homes have older electrical and plumbing penetrations through the roof; replacing the boots and flashings on all of them is cheap during a re-roof and expensive later. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable. Metal roofs shrug off hail punctures but can dent cosmetically, and several Texas carriers now exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check before you switch.
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.
