Roof Inspection in Miami, FL
Most roof problems in South Florida are invisible from the ground until they’re expensive. A proper inspection catches failing underlayment, lifted flashing, and storm damage while they’re still cheap to fix. BGI Roofing provides HAAG-Certified roof inspections across Miami-Dade and Broward County — the same damage-assessment training many insurance adjusters hold — backed by a Florida roofing license (CCC1337074).
What a BGI Roof Inspection Covers
We inspect the roof covering (tile, shingle, metal, or flat membrane), flashings and penetrations, drainage and ponding, fascia and soffit, visible decking condition, and attic-side evidence of leaks where accessible. We use drone photography on steep and tile roofs, so we document the whole roof without walking tile that shouldn’t be walked. You get a photo report of what we found and a written recommendation: no action needed, a specific repair, or a replacement conversation — with honest reasoning either way.
When You Should Get an Inspection
After any named storm or severe wind event, even if nothing is visibly wrong. Before buying or selling a home — the roof is the single most expensive line item in most Miami real estate negotiations. When your insurance carrier asks for a roof condition report at renewal. Anytime you see a ceiling stain, granules in gutters, cracked or slipped tiles, or debris on the roof. And once every couple of years for any roof past its first decade, because Miami sun and salt air age roofs faster than the brochure says.
Storm Damage & Insurance Inspections
If you suspect storm damage, get an independent inspection before you file a claim. HAAG certification means we assess and document damage using the same methodology adjusters are trained on — which makes our photo reports harder to dismiss. If the damage doesn’t justify a claim, we’ll tell you that too, and save you a claim on your record.
Why It’s Free
Our standard roof inspection is free because it’s how we earn work honestly: most inspections end in a small repair or a “you’re fine, see you in two years.” Insurance-ready documentation packages and real estate inspection reports are priced flat and quoted up front.

Miami Roof Inspection FAQs
How much does a roof inspection cost in Miami?
Our standard roof inspection is free. Flat-fee pricing applies to formal documentation packages for insurance carriers or real estate transactions, quoted before we schedule.
What is a HAAG-certified inspection?
HAAG Engineering trains and certifies inspectors in damage assessment for residential roofs — distinguishing wind and hail damage from wear, installation defects, and foot traffic. It’s the same curriculum many insurance adjusters complete, which is exactly why it matters on your side of a claim.
How long does a roof inspection take?
Most residential inspections take 45–90 minutes on site, including drone photos. Reports are typically delivered within a couple of business days.
Will you walk on my tile roof?
Only where it’s safe for the tile. Concrete and clay tile crack under foot traffic, so we use drone imagery and targeted access instead of walking the whole field — an inspection shouldn’t create the damage it’s looking for.
Do I need an inspection before filing an insurance claim?
It’s strongly recommended. An independent HAAG-certified assessment tells you whether damage justifies a claim, and gives you documentation from your side rather than relying only on the carrier’s adjuster.
