Home Buyer Roof Inspection, explained.
The roof is one of the most expensive parts of a house to repair or replace, and a general home inspection only gives it a brief look. A dedicated roof inspection goes further: it checks the roofing, the flashings, the penetrations and the attic for signs of past or active leaks, and it estimates how much service life the roof likely has left.
We work within your inspection period. You receive photographs, a condition summary and a list of repair items, so you can ask the seller for repairs, adjust your offer or plan for future replacement. We report what we see and leave the negotiation to you and your agent.
Signs this service fits
- You are under contract on an older home
