Potential home buyers often turn to us at Rocking T Home Inspections for home inspections to check the overall condition and value of the home they’re considering. The inspections we perform for these buyers also include carefully inspecting the roof.
Here are three things we might find during a roof inspection.
- Minor damage: During a roof inspection, we might find minor damage, such as curling, balding, or missing shingles. This type of damage typically only requires minor repairs, but it is still important to know if you will need to repair the roof before you move into the home.
- Extensive damage: Our roof inspections might also result in the discovery of more extensive damage or even major water damage that will require roof replacement instead. This way, you can plan for the cost of a new roof in addition to the expected cost of the home.
- Age of the roof: Our roof inspection may also include identifying the age of the roof. Most roofs only last 15-30 years, depending on the roofing material. If we determine that the roof of the home is older, you will likely need to plan for a roof replacement soon after you buy the home.
These are only a few things we might find during an inspection of the roof. We can also check the gutters, flashing, roofing materials, chimney, and other components connected to the roof.
