We know Lantana’s roofs the way only a local crew can. The salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon, the June-to-November wind loads, and the older construction along Lake Drive and north of Ocean Avenue all shape what we look for during an inspection. Our Roof Inspection team works throughout Palm Beach County’s coastal corridor, and we’re in Lantana regularly enough to know which blocks see the worst fastener corrosion and which 1950s and 1960s homes still have original plank decking. When you call, a live person answers. When we arrive, the technician is background-checked and in uniform.

Why Brennan Roofing Is Lantana’s Preferred Roof Inspection Company

Brennan Roofing operates under what we call The Garrison Standard. That means the price goes on paper before any work begins, and that number does not move at the door. Every technician who shows up at a Lantana home is background-checked and wears a uniform. Every inspection report is written in plain language, with photos, so you can see exactly what we saw. And every repair or installation we perform afterward carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written guarantee for one full year, with a free second visit at no charge if something fails.

We’ve inspected homes on Hypoluxo Island, in the Moorings, and along the side streets west of Federal Highway where original shingle roofs are common. Lantana homeowners tell us the same thing: they’ve had roofers no-show, change the price at the door, or leave nails in the driveway. We don’t operate that way. Our written estimate is fixed. Our crew cleans up before they leave. And Travis Oakley, who leads Brennan Roofing, holds every job to the same standard regardless of whether it’s a $200 inspection or a $22,000 re-roof.

Roof inspection in Lantana is not a sideline for us. It’s the first step in every job we do, because in this wind zone, you cannot quote a roof honestly without walking it first.

Roof Inspection Companies in Lantana

Roof Inspection Companies in Lantana fall into two groups: those that document what they see and those that simply look for a sale. A proper inspection here means more than checking for missing shingles. It means verifying decking thickness and fastener type, measuring nail patterns, checking flashing at chimneys and pipe boots, and documenting everything against Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code requirements. Lantana sits inside the HVHZ, which is the strictest wind-zone designation in the state. That changes what an inspection must confirm.

What a Code-Compliant Inspection Documents

In Lantana, a compliant inspection verifies that the decking is plywood or OSB, not original 1×6 or 1×8 plank boards. It checks that fasteners are stainless steel or another corrosion-resistant material, because salt air east of Dixie Highway eats standard galvanized nails within a decade. It measures the nail pattern on architectural shingles. Six nails per shingle gets you rated for the wind loads this area sees; four nails does not. These details determine whether your roof passes a wind-mitigation review and whether your insurance company will honor a claim after a storm.

When Lantana Homeowners Schedule Inspections

Most Lantana homeowners schedule an inspection in one of three situations: before hurricane season, after a named storm passes within 50 miles, or when their insurance carrier sends a non-renewal notice asking for roof documentation. A standard residential inspection in Lantana runs $150 to $300. If you need the full written report with photos and code references for an insurance filing, expect $250 to $400.

Commercial Roof Inspection in Lantana

Commercial Roof Inspection in Lantana covers a different set of buildings: the small retail strips along Dixie Highway, the offices and medical buildings near Lantana Road, and the light-industrial units west of I-95. These roofs are typically low-slope or flat, which means the inspection focuses on membrane seams, ponding water, drain function, and flashing at penetrations. The cost ranges from $350 to $900 depending on square footage and how many rooftop units, vents, and curbs need to be examined.

Documentation for Commercial Insurance

Commercial policies in Palm Beach County often require an annual roof condition report from a licensed inspector. Our report includes photos of every penetration, a condition rating, and a written list of deficiencies with repair priorities. That documentation keeps your insurer satisfied and gives you a defensible record if a claim is ever disputed. Every commercial inspection we perform in Lantana is done by the same background-checked, uniformed crew that handles our residential work.

Flat Roof Failure Points

On low-slope roofs, the failure points are rarely visible from the ground. We check seam adhesion, blistering, and the condition of the edge metal. In Lantana’s humid, salt-heavy air, metal edge flashing corrodes faster than it does inland, and a failed drip edge on a low-slope roof can channel water directly into the building’s perimeter walls. We look for it on every commercial inspection here.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana

Brennan Roofing installs and services materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO, among others. That matters for a Lantana inspection because different product lines carry different wind-rating documentation. GAF’s Timberline HDZ line, for example, qualifies for the 130 mph rating common in HVHZ areas when installed with the six-nail pattern. CertainTeed’s Landmark Pro and Owens Corning’s Duration lines carry similar ratings with proper fastening. We keep current on which products meet current code in Palm Beach County, and we stock the fasteners, underlayment, and edge metal needed for repairs after an inspection. When we find a problem on a Lantana roof, we can usually quote the fix the same day because the materials are already on the truck.

Common Roof Inspection Problems We See in Lantana Homes

• Original plank decking on pre-1980 homes. Houses built before modern codes often have 1×6 or 1×8 plank decking that does not meet HVHZ requirements. We see this constantly in the neighborhoods east of Dixie Highway, and it requires full re-decking before any new roof can be installed.
• Corroded fasteners from salt air. The onshore winds off the Lake Worth Lagoon carry salt that accelerates corrosion on standard nails and screws. An inspection that skips fastener verification can miss uplift vulnerability that only shows itself during a hurricane.
• Improper nail patterns on recent architectural shingle installs. Some roofs installed in the last 10 to 15 years have four nails per shingle instead of six. That reduces the wind rating and can result in a denied claim after a storm.
• Flashing failures at chimneys and skylights. Lantana’s older ranch homes often have original flashing that has been patched with sealant over the years. Sealant degrades quickly in Florida’s UV, and once it fails, water follows the nail holes into the decking.
