Roof certification
A roof certification is a written statement of condition and estimated remaining life, usually required by an insurer or requested during a property sale. It is not the same as an inspection report — it is a shorter document making a specific assertion about how long the roof has left, which means it carries more weight and is correspondingly harder to obtain on a roof in doubtful condition.

Questions
How is this different from an inspection?
An inspection tells you the condition. A certification asserts a remaining life in years, which is what insurers and buyers actually ask for. It is a stronger statement and some roofs cannot be certified without remedial work first.
What if the roof fails certification?
You get a list of what needs doing to meet it. That is often a small amount of specific work rather than replacement, and having it itemised is useful regardless of whether you proceed.

Describe what you are seeing
Most metro Atlanta leaks trace back to a storm that did not look like it caused damage. The shingles are still there, the roof looks fine from the driveway, and water is getting in anyway. Finding where is the job.
