        "text": "A **roof certification** is a written statement from a licensed roofer that your roof is in sound condition and is expected to remain leak-free for a set period, often 2–5 years. It is frequently requested in real estate transactions and in some lending or insurance situations.\n\nUnlike a basic inspection report, a certification includes a performance guarantee within its term. If the roof fails under normal conditions, the issuing roofer is typically responsible for covered repairs within the certificate’s limits.\n\nKey factors:\n- Whether your buyer’s lender or insurer is requiring certification\n- Roof age and condition; repairs may be required before certifying\n- Certification period length and what is actually guaranteed\n- The roofer’s license, insurance, and terms of the certificate\n\nIf you’re buying or selling in LA County, ask your agent if a roof cert is common for your price point and loan type. Have a licensed roofer inspect, complete any needed repairs, and put the certification and its terms in writing for your records."
