Is this your situation?

  • Your insurance company will not issue or renew coverage.
  • Your roof was replaced, but nobody documented the work.
  • You do not know whether your roof is ready for the next major storm.
  • Missing roof documentation may delay or prevent windstorm coverage.

The Roof Certification Process

A roof certification in Texas is an official inspection document that confirms a roof is structurally sound, estimates how many years of life it has left, or proves it meets coastal windstorm building codes for insurance purposes and the sale of the home.

Too many Texas coastal property owners discover their documentation problems only after they apply for insurance – or after a hurricane!

Our goal is to identify those problems before they become expensive surprises.

  3. The inspector submits his report to the Texas Department of Insurance.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Contact us and we will recommend a few licensed and TDI approved professional engineers.
  • If your roof was installed per the TDI wind code and the manufacturer’s installation specifications, and it has not sustained damage, you may be issued the certificate.
  • For details, contact us.

  • Purpose: A WPI-8 certificate is formal verification that building standards for high winds and hail are met to secure windstorm insurance in designated catastrophe zones – the Texas Gulf Coast.
  • Scope: A stringent inspection by an approved Texas Department of Insurance inspector or engineer to check and verify specified nail patterns, decking, and materials during or after construction.
  • Legal Weight: An official state of Texas legal compliance document issued directly by the TDI; without it, Insurance coverage in coastal zones can be denied or canceled.

  • A roof inspection, a roof certification, and a WPI-8 certificate differ primarily in
  • their purposes,
  • their scope of authority,
  • and their legal weight.
  • For more information, see the surrounding 3 questions.

  • A roof certification inspection is professional evaluation of a roof’s health, remaining lifespan, structural soundness, and leak status.
  • It is done by a professional engineer or a qualified Texas Department of Insurance Inspector. This inspection may be required for a real estate transaction or insurance renewals.
  • Roofing materials, pipe jacks, flashings, gutters, and skylights are checked for signs of deterioration.
  • Also, the interior of a building and attic are checked for mold, wood rot, water leaks, varmints (rodents, bats, raccoons, etc.).

  • A roof inspection is to determine physical condition, remaining lifespan, and the visible damage of an existing roof.
  • The scope of work is to visually inspect the shingles, flashing, gutters, and leaks. This is usually performed by a seasoned local, Texas roofing contractor.
  • Legal Weight: It is an outline of what work may need to be done to qualify for a roof certification.

You should have received a formal letter or email from a for profit, licensed insurance company, or a licensed Texas insurance agent stating they refused to issue or renew a policy that includes windstorm and hail coverage for your residential or commercial property.

  • First of all, without the inspection certificate, you may be denied coverage by a private insurer and or the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA).
  • And among other things, this can delay or even prevent a real estate transaction from closing.
  • Second, you can hire a Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) approved inspector / licensed professional engineer to verify that your home or building meets the local codes and the 130 to 150 mph wind standards of the Texas coastal region.
  • We can facilitate this service for you.

  • Yes, you should definitely have a roofing contractor inspect your roof before the TDI person is contacted.
  • Finding and repairing any small problems before the official TDI wind inspection take place will definitely save you time and money.
  • The roofer will look for hidden damage and obvious problems.
  • When the roofer finds and corrects these problems early, you avoid getting a failing inspection grade for these issues.

GREAT Question. Should the inspector find a problem with our repair work, we will correct the problem so the work in up to current wind standards and the manufacturer’s specifications.

  • and this is at no charge to you!
  • Then we call the inspector back (and we pay for that second inspection) and let him do his inspection work again.
  • And when our repair work passes the inspector’s criteria, then his report is transmitted to the Texas Department of Insurance.
  • And within a week, you should have your WPI-8 certificate.

  • First of all, the homeowner, contractor, or builder starts off this process by submitting the initial application Form, a WPI-1.
  • When the inspection has been completed, it’s the TDI certified inspector / Professional Engineer who will file the completed reports to the Texas Department of Insurance.
  • We help coordinate the process and follow up to confirm the required paperwork has been submitted.

  • We’ll discuss the current pricing for a professional engineer to inspect the repair work before scheduling an inspection.
  • Engineering inspection fees vary depending on the property and the engineer selected.
