Fast, Reliable Roof Inspection Across Palm Beach
A roof inspection in Palm Beach typically costs $250 to $450 for a standard single-family home, with larger estates and flat-roof condominium buildings running $550 to $900. You’ll get a written report with photos, and we can usually be on your roof within 3 to 5 business days of your call. Palm Beach is a different animal than the mainland. We know the island, we know the Architectural Commission, and we know what salt air does to hidden metal. Call the West Palm Beach office at (728) 203-3066 and a live person answers. Always. No voicemail, no callback queue.
Why Brennan Roofing Co West Palm Beach Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company
Palm Beach homeowners call us because we show up when we say we will and we put the price on paper before any work starts. Travis Oakley runs this operation, and he holds every technician to The Garrison Standard: background-checked, uniformed, and inside the promised window. That matters on an island where too many roofers quote a low number over the phone, then change it at the door.
We’ve inspected roofs from the lakefront condos near the Flagler Memorial Bridge to the oceanfront estates off South Ocean Boulevard. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they want a straight answer, a fair number, and a crew they can trust on their roof without standing in the driveway second-guessing. That’s the job. Every inspection includes a written report with photos, and every recommendation is explained in plain English. You’ll know exactly what needs attention today, what can wait, and what it costs.
We also serve as the local team behind the broader Roof Inspection operation, which means our inspectors carry the same documentation templates and reporting standards across every job. Consistency is the point. When the Architectural Commission asks for specifics, our reports already have them.

Roof Inspection Companies in Palm Beach
Roof Inspection Companies serving Palm Beach operate under a set of rules that don’t apply on the mainland. The town’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) reviews most roof work before it can proceed, and a generic inspection report that only notes “tile in fair condition” is useless to that process. A real inspection here documents profiles, colors, drip edges, and the hidden fastening system under the surface material. That’s what we do.
The Written Report
Every inspection ends with a typed report organized by roof plane. We photograph the obvious and the hidden: lifted tile corners, rusted fasteners, original drip edge profiles, chimney flashing, and any prior repair that didn’t match the original material. If you bought a 1920s Mediterranean Revival home and don’t know whether your barrel tiles are the commission-approved color, we check against the town’s published palette and note it in the report.
When Palm Beach Homeowners Call Us
Most calls come in three situations: after a storm or hurricane watch, before a purchase or listing, or when a neighbor’s reroof got stopped mid-project by ARCOM and the homeowner wants to know if their own roof would clear review. The cost is the same $250 to $450 for a standard single-family home. We’re happy to schedule within days, not weeks.
Commercial Roof Inspection in Palm Beach
Commercial Roof Inspection work in Palm Beach covers low-slope condominium buildings, retail spaces on Worth Avenue, and the flat or gently sloped membrane roofs common on the island’s newer construction. These systems age differently than barrel tile. The salt air attacks seams, penetrations, and edge metal long before the membrane itself shows wear. A commercial inspection here runs $550 to $900 depending on square footage and the number of rooftop units. We photograph every penetration, check seam adhesion, and report on drainage.
Condominium Association Reports
Associations need documentation that holds up to board scrutiny and insurance review. Our commercial reports include a roof plan marked with defect locations, photo references, and a prioritized repair schedule with dollar ranges. Board members who never step on the roof can read the report and understand exactly what’s failing and what it costs to fix.
Pre-Storm Condition Reviews
Palm Beach buildings get a lot of pre-storm calls. A condition review before hurricane season documents what’s sound and what’s marginal, so if wind damage becomes an insurance claim, the association has a baseline on file. That baseline matters. Insurers in coastal Florida ask for it more often now, and a board that can produce a dated inspection report from a licensed inspector is in a better position than one that can’t.
Common Roof Inspection Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes
- Corroded metal battens under barrel tiles. Salt spray off the Atlantic eats the galvanized battens that hold tile in place. The tiles look fine from above, but the metal underneath is rusting through. A hurricane-force gust lifts an entire section because the attachment system is gone. We lift tiles strategically to check for this.
- Unapproved partial replacements. Some owners patch a small area with tile that matches approximately but not exactly. It’s not on the Architectural Commission’s approved palette. When a larger repair is needed later, the entire roof can stall in review because part of it doesn’t conform. We flag this in writing.
- Drip edge and fascia details that don’t match the original profile. ARCOM cares about these details on Mediterranean Revival and Bermuda-style homes. A prior repair that replaced the original drip edge with a modern profile can trigger a full submittal review even for a small patch. Our reports document the original profiles so you know where you stand.
- Vendors who miss the submittal-trigger items. Not every inspector on the island knows what triggers Architectural Commission review. A surface-only inspection won’t catch the hidden items. We inspect specifically for the things ARCOM wants documented: original profiles, approved colors, and concealed fastening systems.
Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach
We inspect and work on roofs built with CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and other major manufacturer lines. Palm Beach’s barrel tile market leans heavily on custom colors, and we know which local suppliers stock the approved palette for this island’s Architectural Commission. Our office in West Palm Beach keeps relationships with suppliers who hold the marine-grade battens and corrosion-resistant fasteners this climate requires. When an inspection finds a material that needs matching, we can source it without telling a Palm Beach homeowner to accept “close enough” from whatever distributor is cheapest. The Garrison Standard doesn’t allow close enough.

FAQs About Roof Inspection in Palm Beach
Does a roof inspection in Palm Beach need to happen before or after I file with the Architectural Commission?
Do it before. The Architectural Commission wants documentation of existing conditions, original profiles, and current materials before they review a repair or reroof. A Brennan Roofing inspection provides that documentation with photos and written notes organized by roof plane. You file with a complete packet instead of going back for more information. Call (728) 203-3066 to schedule the inspection first.
Can you tell during an inspection if my barrel tiles are the original approved color for Palm Beach?
Yes. The town publishes a specific palette of approved barrel-tile colors. During the inspection we compare your tile to that published list and note in the written report whether your roof conforms. If a prior owner patched with an unapproved color, we flag exactly which sections don’t match. That saves you from discovering the problem when ARCOM rejects a future repair submittal.
How do you inspect for the salt-spray batten corrosion that’s common on oceanfront mansions?
We lift tiles selectively at chimney penetrations, hips, and ridge transitions where salt air concentrates. The tiles usually look fine from above. Underneath, the galvanized battens can be rusted through. We photograph what we find and mark the affected squares on a roof plan. On a 1920s Mediterranean Revival estate off South Ocean Boulevard, our inspector lifted barrel tiles near the chimney and found the battens corroded through from salt spray. We documented the corrosion with photos for the Architectural Commission, marked the affected squares, and specified a marine-grade batten replacement and new flashing at the chimney so the repair packet sailed through review without a single continuation.
Will my roof inspection report be accepted by Palm Beach landmarks, or do they require their own inspector?
Palm Beach landmarks review your submittal, not the inspector. They accept reports from any licensed Florida inspector. Our reports are built to match the town’s documentation expectations: photos, roof plan, material profiles, and color references. We do not guarantee an approval, but we do provide the documentation format that ARCOM staff are used to seeing, which reduces back-and-forth.
If an inspection finds a small area of damage, can I repair just that section without going back through Architectural Commission review?
Most structures in Palm Beach require ARCOM review for any roof work beyond a very small repair. The threshold varies by property type and the specific section of town code that applies. During the inspection we tell you honestly whether the repair scope you’re considering would trigger review. If it will, we document everything the commission needs on the front end. Call (728) 203-3066 for an exact quote on your inspection, and we’ll give you a straight answer on the approval question before any work starts.
