Roof Inspections
The roof of a property is like the cherry on top, the crowning jewel. It’s the safety net that keeps your entire property dry, secure, and ready to take on whatever Mother Nature may bring its way. Therefore, it’s important to make sure your roof is in proper working order when purchasing a new property.
Or, in the case that the roof is beyond its age or in need of repairs, you need to know in order to make a proper offer on the property. Whether to lower your offer price, or to ask for the repairs to be done before you will close.
What are Roof Inspections from 360 Home Inspectors?
A roof inspection is a simple inspection that determine the integrity of a roof, how long it may last, and an estimate as to when the roof will need to be replaced. Roof inspectors are not going to climb up on your roof or the roof of your home you are thinking of buying and pull up shingles or tiles. In other words, it’s not our intention to damage the home in any way. We have other methods of checking its integrity without removing or moving any important elements, including key layers. Roof inspectors have special procedures wherein they can determine the lifespan of a given roof without tearing into it.
When Should you Have a Roof Inspection Done?
You should consider scheduling a roof inspection on a few key dates. As mentioned above, if you are looking to purchase a property you will need a professional inspection of the roof. However, you might also want a roof inspection if there has been damage to the roof (this might take place with a storm, extreme wind, if a tree branch falls, etc.), if you are nearing the expected lifespan of your shingles, if you notice water leaks on the interior of a structure, etc.
In these cases, you can schedule a roof inspection as a stand-alone order. This will also be required by your insurance company in order to receive compensation for a repair or replacement.
