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
On the coast the metal usually fails before the shingles do. Salt corrodes flashing and fasteners from the moment they go on, and the leak shows up at a junction rather than in the middle of the roof.
