Every roofing decision should start with facts, not a guess from the ground. Our free roof inspection puts a licensed Florida roofer on your property with a drone over every slope and eyes in the attic, then delivers a photo-documented report within 24 hours. We check the roof covering, flashing, penetrations, decking, and ventilation, and we tell you straight whether you need a repair, a replacement, or nothing at all. As a family-run, honesty-first company, we do not run a high-pressure sales play in your driveway. We serve the Greater Tampa Bay metro, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee, and Polk counties, where heat, UV, salt air, and an annual hurricane season age roofs faster than most homeowners expect. The inspection is genuinely free and feeds everything from a repair-vs-replace call to an insurance documentation package you control.
Free Roof Inspections in Tampa Bay: what homeowners should know
Why a roof inspection matters more in Tampa Bay
A roof in the Greater Tampa Bay metro lives a harder life than a roof almost anywhere else in the country. Year-round heat and UV bake shingles and dry out sealant, the summer rainy season tests every flashing detail, and homes near the coast in Pinellas, Sarasota, and Manatee fight constant salt air on top of all of it. Then comes hurricane season, every single year, with wind and wind-driven rain that can lift a shingle or crack a tile in seconds.
The catch is that most of this damage does not show up as a ceiling stain right away. Water can travel under a roof for months before it ever drips inside, and by then the decking and underlayment may already be compromised. A real roof inspection finds the small problems while they are still small and cheap to fix.
That is why we treat the free inspection as the foundation of everything we do. Whether you want a quick repair, a full roof replacement, or just peace of mind before storm season, it starts with knowing exactly what is happening up top, in writing, with photos.
What our drone and attic inspection actually covers
We inspect from two directions: the surface from above with a drone, and the structure from below in the attic. From the air, we photograph every slope, the ridges and valleys, the flashing around chimneys, walls, and skylights, the vents and other penetrations, and the drip edge and gutters. The drone reaches steep pitches and rear slopes that are dangerous or simply impossible to see clearly from a ladder, so nothing on your roof gets skipped.
Inside the attic, we look at the underside of the decking for water stains, soft or rotted wood, and daylight coming through gaps. We check ventilation, because poor airflow cooks a Florida roof from the inside and shortens its life. We note any active moisture and trace it toward its source instead of guessing from the wet spot below.
Every finding is photographed and explained, so you are never taking our word for it. The optional coverage table below shows the specific items we document on a standard inspection.
Repair, replace, or leave it alone: an honest answer
The most valuable thing an inspection gives you is a straight answer about what to do next. Plenty of roofs we look at need nothing at all, and we will happily tell you that and move on. Others have a single leak, a few displaced tiles, or a flashing detail that pulled away, and those are repair jobs, not replacement jobs.
When a roof is genuinely at the end of its life, with widespread granule loss, brittle tiles, or decking that is failing, we will tell you that too, and we will explain why a patch would just be throwing money at it. This is the honesty-first approach the company was built on. We do not run high-pressure sales and there is no today-only pricing.
Our report lays out your options clearly so you can decide on your own timeline. If a repair is the right call, our roof repair team handles tile, metal, and shingle. If it is time for a new roof, you will have an itemized estimate in hand to compare.
Storm damage and the insurance documentation it creates
After a named storm, the first thing you need is proof of what changed. Our inspection produces exactly that: dated, photo-documented evidence of wind, hail, or wind-driven rain damage across the whole roof, plus an itemized estimate for the repair or replacement. That package is what your insurance carrier needs to evaluate a claim.
Here is the important part, stated plainly. We provide documentation only. We are a licensed Florida roofing contractor, not a public adjuster. We inspect, photograph, and give you an itemized estimate you submit to your carrier. You stay in control of the claim and your insurer makes the coverage decision under your policy. We will gladly supply your carrier the photos and detail they ask for.
Florida's well-known 25 percent rule generally requires that when more than a quarter of a roof is repaired or replaced within any 12-month period, the affected portion be brought up to current Florida Building Code. We will flag when that may apply to your situation so there are no surprises later. For a deeper walkthrough, see our insurance documentation support page.
What happens after the inspection
Once you have your report, the next move is entirely yours. If you need work, your itemized estimate already reflects the materials best suited to your home, whether that is GAF Timberline HDZ or TAMKO Heritage architectural shingle, impact-rated Class 4 shingle for a possible insurance discount, standing seam metal, or concrete and clay tile. Permits and code requirements vary by county across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee, and Polk, and we handle the pull and inspection where work is needed.
If cost is the question, we make it easy to plan. We offer GreenSky and Ygrene financing, and for homes being sold we offer real estate closing support, including pay-at-closing when approved in writing. You can also get rough numbers right now with our instant roof estimate while you wait on the full report.
Quality you can trust starts with knowing the truth about your roof. Book your free, no-pressure inspection and have a clear, photo-documented answer in your inbox within 24 hours.

What every free roof inspections job includes.
Drone imagery of every slope
We fly the full roof on every inspection, including rear slopes, dormers, and steep pitches a ladder cannot safely reach. Hidden cracked tiles, lifted shingles, and flashing gaps get caught.
Full attic check, not just the surface
We go inside and look for active leaks, water stains on the decking, daylight through gaps, and ventilation problems. The attic often shows damage long before a ceiling stain ever does.

Within 24 hours you get a clear report with photos of every finding, scored and explained in plain English. You keep it whether or not you ever hire us for the work.
Honest repair-vs-replace guidance
We tell you when a targeted repair buys your existing roof real years and when replacement is the smart call. Our name is our promise, so we will not sell you a roof you do not need yet.
Insurance documentation you control
If the report shows storm damage, you already have the photo evidence and an itemized estimate to submit to your carrier. We are licensed roofers, not adjusters, so you stay in control of the claim.

Rated 5.0 on Google by verified Tampa Bay homeowners.
After receiving quotes for several roofing companies, I decided to go with a company other than Integrity Roofing of Florida. My decision was primarily based on the fact they were referred by a friend and offered a slightly lower cost. After six months, my roof was still not complete, and to make matters worse, my roof was leaking. I called Bettina at Integrity Roofing, and she determined that the company I had contracted with was not fully licensed and could not even pull a permit. I am so thankful to Bettina and the staff at Integrity Roofing. They took over the job, pulled the permit, and had the roof completed in a matter of days.

My roof suffered damage during Hurricane Milton. Multiple roofing companies came out and the quotes were outrageous. Some were even pressuring me to open a claim against my home insurance for the minor damage. I really enjoyed working with Integrity Roofing of Florida due to the exceptional customer care and great level of communication. They gave me a fair price and completed the work in a timely manner. Highly recommend them for your next home project.

As a realtor in the Tampa Bay Area, I have had the opportunity to work with many roofing companies. However, I decided to use Integrity Roofing to replace my own roof as I have personally seen the quality work they have done for my clients. As picky as I tend to be, I was very happy and greatly satisfied with the end result. My roof looks beautiful. I will definitely continue to refer Bettina Savorelli and Mike Sheppard with Integrity Roofing to all of my clients.
Common questions
Free Roof Inspections FAQs
Is the roof inspection really free?
Yes, it is genuinely free with no obligation and no fee, even if we find nothing wrong. There is no catch and no commitment to hire us. If we do find issues and you choose Integrity Roofing for the repair or replacement, the inspection simply rolls into the project.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most homes take about 45 minutes to an hour on-site, including the drone flight, the attic check, and the walkthrough where we show you the photos. Larger or more complex roofs take a little longer. Either way, your written report arrives within 24 hours of the visit.
What exactly do you check during the inspection?
We document the roof covering, flashing around chimneys, walls, and skylights, valleys, vents and other penetrations, the drip edge, and the gutters. Inside, we check the attic decking, ventilation, and any signs of active leaks or moisture. Every finding is backed by a photo.
Why use a drone instead of just climbing the roof?
A drone safely covers every slope, including steep pitches, dormers, and rear sections that are dangerous or impossible to reach by ladder. It catches cracked tiles, lifted shingles, and flashing gaps without anyone walking a fragile roof. We still go in the attic and up close where it matters.
Do you inspect tile, metal, and shingle roofs?
Yes. We inspect every system we install, including GAF Timberline HDZ and TAMKO architectural shingle, impact-rated Class 4 shingle, standing seam and exposed-fastener metal, and concrete and clay tile, plus flat and low-slope roofs. The inspector knows what normal wear versus real failure looks like on each.
Will you help me decide between a repair and a full replacement?
That is the whole point of an honest inspection. We tell you straight when a targeted repair will buy your existing roof real years and when replacement is the smarter long-term call. See our roof repairs and roof replacement pages for what each involves.
How does the inspection help with an insurance claim?
If the report shows storm or wind damage, you already have a complete photo evidence package and an itemized estimate to submit to your carrier. We are licensed roofers, not public adjusters, so we inspect and document only. You file the claim, you stay in control, and your insurer makes the coverage decision under your policy. See our insurance documentation support page.
Do you charge for the report or the estimate?
No. The inspection, the photo-documented report, and the itemized estimate are all free. We give you the facts and the numbers so you can decide on your own timeline. There is never a charge just to know where your roof stands.
How soon can you come out after a storm?
We respond same-day or next-day during our hours for most of the Tampa Bay metro. After a named storm, demand spikes across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee, and Polk, so call early. If you have an active leak, we can also tarp it under our emergency roof repair service while you wait on the full report.
Can I use the inspection when buying or selling a home?
Absolutely. Buyers use our report to know what they are getting and to negotiate, and sellers use a clean report as leverage. When a sale depends on the roof, we also offer real estate closing support, including pay-at-closing when approved in writing, so a roof issue does not blow up your timeline.
Does an inspection qualify me for the My Safe Florida Home program?
An inspection is a smart first step before any wind-related upgrades. The state My Safe Florida Home program centers on a wind mitigation inspection that documents specific features for grant eligibility and insurance discounts. We support that program and offer wind mitigation inspections as a separate service.
If I need a new roof, do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer GreenSky credit-based home improvement financing and Ygrene PACE financing, which is repaid through your property tax bill. We lay out the options in plain terms alongside your estimate so you can choose what fits. See our financing page for details.
What roughly does a new roof cost if the inspection finds I need one?
It depends on the material and the roof. Architectural shingle runs about $4.50 to $5.50 per square foot installed, impact-rated Class 4 shingle $5.50 to $7.50, standing seam metal $10 to $16, and tile $10 to $22. A typical 2,000 to 2,400 square foot architectural shingle roof lands around $9,000 to $13,000. Your free inspection and itemized estimate give you the exact number for your home.
What kind of warranty comes with roofing work?
New roofs carry a manufacturer material warranty, roughly 20 to 50 years depending on the product, plus our workmanship warranty provided in writing. Because we are TAMKO Pro Gold and GAF Certified and install to manufacturer spec, your roof qualifies for the full material coverage. The inspection itself does not need a warranty, but the report is yours to keep.
