What is a roof certification?
A written statement by a licensed roofer or inspector on the condition and expected remaining life of a roof, often required by insurers or lenders.
Why does my insurer care about the roof's age?

Should I get an inspection after a storm?
Yes, if you suspect damage: photos and a written report support your insurance claim.
