Protect your asking price before the buyer's inspector even shows up. A roof certification is the single most effective way to prevent costly surprises and last-minute negotiation games.
Kill the "Replace the Roof" Demand
A professional certification takes the most common buyer negotiation tactic completely off the table. There's nothing to negotiate when you have a signed cert.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a standard repair warranty and a roof certification?+ A standard repair warranty only covers the specific work that was performed, if a roofer replaced a few missing shingles, only those new shingles are warrantied. Everything else on the roof is unprotected. A roof certification is completely different. It's like getting a no-leak labor warranty on your entire roof. If any part of the roof leaks during the certification period, it's covered, regardless of whether that area was specifically repaired. It's whole-roof protection, not just a patch. How much does a 2-year roof certification cost?+ At Legacy, roof certifications start at $299, a small fraction of the $5K to $15K price reductions buyers demand when a roof is uncertified. At Legacy the inspection itself is free, and we quote the certification price in writing before any commitment, based on your roof's size and condition. If minor repairs are needed to qualify, you get that estimate upfront too. How long does a roof certification last?+ We offer both 2-year and 5-year certifications depending on the age and condition of your roof. After a thorough inspection, we'll recommend the best option for your situation. Most homes with roofs under 15 years qualify for the 5-year cert. Do I need a roof certification to sell my home?+ While not legally required, it's one of the smartest moves a seller can make. Many buyers, lenders, and title companies request one before closing, and without it, buyers often demand costly price reductions or a full replacement. A certification prevents all of that before it starts. What does the inspection include?+ Our inspectors evaluate your entire roofing system, shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, decking, and structural integrity. We use drone technology for detailed aerial photos and provide a full written report documenting the roof's condition. What if my roof doesn't pass the inspection?+ If we find issues during the inspection, we'll provide a clear repair estimate. In many cases, minor repairs are all that's needed to qualify for certification. We'll walk you through every option, no pressure, no surprises. Can I get a certification if I'm the buyer?+ Absolutely. While sellers often order certifications proactively, buyers can also request one. If you're purchasing a home and want added confidence about the roof, we can inspect and certify it for you. The warranty stays with the property. Ready to Close with Confidence?
Whether you're buying, selling, or advising, a Legacy roof certification is the smartest move you can make before closing day. Get started with a free inspection.
