Sanford Roof Pros provides professional roof inspections in Sanford, FL for residential and commercial properties across Seminole County and the north Orlando metro. A post-strike inspection is not a roof inspection with a different name on the invoice. It is a search for one entry point and the path the current took out of the building, and about half of what we find is not roofing at all.
We walk every slope we can safely stand on and use a pole camera for the rest, looking first at the highest metal on the structure. Chimney caps, ridge vents, antenna mounts, plumbing stacks and the ridge itself. A strike lands on height and isolation, not on material, so the tall thin metal object is where we start rather than the largest surface. Material comes a distant third.
Then the attic, with the lights off. Daylight through the deck, scorch marks at a truss plate, a split along a rafter's grain, melted staple insulation on a wire run: those show up far better in the dark than under a work lamp. We check moisture in the sheathing around anything suspect, because a small burn hole in a Central Florida attic in July collects water fast.
What we hand back is a written report with photographs, slope by slope, and a plain statement of the roof's remaining service life. If the answer is that the roof is fine and the damage is electrical, the report says that, and we will tell you to call an electrician and your air conditioning company rather than us. We do not average, round or estimate that figure from the age of the subdivision.
We charge for the roof scope and only the roof scope. We do not write electrical damage, we do not price contents, and we do not put a number on anything we have not been on top of. That limit is the point of the document. A report that stays inside what a roofer can actually verify is worth more to you than one that guesses.
Routine inspections are worth booking twice a year in this county, once in April before the storm season starts and once in November after it ends. Pipe boots, sealant at the counterflashing and the fasteners on any exposed metal are the three things that fail quietly here, and all three are cheap to catch early. None of the three shows from the ground, which is why a drive-by opinion is worth what you paid for it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — fused strike entry point in a laminated shingle field, bonding of roof metal to the building grounding electrode system, NFPA 780 three-sixteenths-inch metal thickness threshold, detach and reset of a certified lightning protection system, 8d ring-shank roof deck re-nailing, high-temperature self-adhered tile underlayment over an eave riser — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Sanford and nearby communities including Lake Mary, Longwood, Winter Springs, Oviedo.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections
The difference between roof inspections that lasts and roof inspections that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with fused strike entry point in a laminated shingle field, bonding of roof metal to the building grounding electrode system, NFPA 780 three-sixteenths-inch metal thickness threshold, detach and reset of a certified lightning protection system, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Sanford job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Seminole County and the north Orlando metro means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Sanford Chooses Sanford Roof Pros

- ✓We quote by dry film thickness, gauge, nail count and quantity, so two bids can be compared on something other than a total
- ✓We take powered attic fans off roofs more often than we install them, and explain exactly why

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
