A helpful inspection gives key information about the condition of your roof. Make sure that your roofer also inspects the following elements:
Gutters and downspouts. Basements can flood and exterior details can be damaged if gutters and downspouts don’t move water off the roof and away from the foundation. Prevent this problem by making sure your gutters are free of clogs, your downspouts are connected securely, and any long gutter runs are pitched properly to minimize overflows.
Roof flashing. The roofing contractor should check the flashing around chimneys, vent stacks and skylights, as well as step and valley flashing.
Skylights. During a roof inspection, it’s also smart to inspect the glazing seals between the skylight glass and the aluminum glazing bars. Leaks in these areas can often be repaired with a special sealant.
Roof ventilation. Soffit vents and ridge vents rarely require maintenance or repair, but gable vents can give insects and rodents access to your attic if they are not properly screened. These vents may need to be inspected from inside your attic as well as from the house exterior.
Certitude Home Improvements is ready to assist you with all your roofing needs.

Does a roof replacement require a permit?
In many townships across Pennsylvania, a permit is not mandatory for roof replacement projects unless structural work is involved. This could include reinforcing supports, altering the roofline, or making changes to the framing of the roof. Permit requirements can vary between municipalities, and homeowners associations may have their own guidelines requiring approval for roof work, even if the township does not mandate a permit.
Our roofing contractors can easily determine if your roof replacement necessitates a permit and handle all the paperwork to ensure your project is fully compliant. We're always happy to call your local office to double-check the requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
Yes and no. If your roof needs replacement due to an unexpected act of nature or severe weather, it’s likely covered by insurance. Older roofs requiring maintenance are not usually covered by homeowners insurance.
Will a new roof lower my homeowner's insurance?
Yes. The age of your roof affects the price of your insurance coverage. A new roof may lower your home insurance premium by up to 35%.
Is a new roof tax deductible?
A residential roof replacement is not tax deductible. Installing a new roof on a commercial property or rental property is eligible for a tax deduction.
Does a roof replacement include new gutters?
No. This is a separate service. Many homeowners choose to replace their gutters after a new installation.
I was pleased with the entire new roof process. The estimator was helpful, the estimate was clear, easily understood and the price was right. On the scheduled day the crew arrived on time, the job was done, roof looks great. I was especially pleased that although they removed two layers of old shingles, I found very little debris over the next week while doing yardwork. I would happily recommend Certitude Home Improvements to family and friends.
- John Orlando
Totally professional. Great quality work. Fast service. Always available for communication. Owner gave me his personal cell number in case there were any problems. Not one problem arose. Job done in time specified. Highly recommended company! Company was not the most nor least expensive of 7 estimates.
- James B.
Certitude came to do the estimation one day after I called and that same day they sent me the detailed estimation with very reasonable price. They communicated well to me with the day and time when they will be there to replace the roof. I’m very pleased with the job they have done and definitely I will use them again.
- Zhe R.
Total professionals from the first sales person to the final cleanup. Work was excellent. Price was great. Each step of the vinyl siding process was completed on time. They even installed the rain gutters in a pouring rain to prevent it from running down along the foundation. We could not be happier with the result.
- Lawrence J.
We needed a new roof for years . They replaced it in one day . From what I can see it’s perfect . They also custom made four sky lights …..I love them ! The workers were very polite and helpful .My neighbor had a small part of his roof repaired a few days later and it took days .I’m soooo glad Certitude replaced my roof!
