What your roof age means.
Typical Florida lifespan
Asphalt-shingle roofs in Florida’s sun and storms typically last ~15-20 years; tile and metal run longer. Age is the single biggest driver of what comes next.
The 4-point trigger
Once a roof passes ~15 years, most Florida carriers require a 4-point inspection before they’ll write or renew, and roof age is the line item they weigh first.
Coverage impact
An older roof can narrow your options toward Citizens or a wind-mitigation-dependent policy. Knowing the age early tells you where you stand, qualitatively, before you shop.

Reasonable questions.
Florida counties publish building-permit records. The most recent roofing permit is the date your roof was last replaced, a permit-backed, high-confidence age. When no roofing permit exists, we fall back to the year the home was built and flag it as an estimate.
Florida insurers and the 4-point inspection use roof age as a primary factor. Many carriers stop writing or renewing coverage once an asphalt-shingle roof passes roughly 15 years, regardless of visible condition.
No. This is a records-based estimate from public data and permits, instant and free. It’s a starting point, not a substitute for a licensed 4-point or wind-mitigation inspection.
Not at launch. The roof age here comes from public records and permits only. Imagery-based condition analysis is planned for a later release.
