Roof inspections
A roof inspection documents what condition the roof is in today. Homeowners ask for one before buying or selling, when an insurer asks about the roof, after a storm, or simply to plan ahead.
Tell us why you need it and about the roof. A participating contractor who serves your area can explain what their inspection covers.
Common reasons to request an inspection
- You are buying or selling a home
- Your insurer has asked about the roof's age or condition
- A storm has passed through and you want to know if anything changed
- The roof is older and you want to plan for repair or replacement
What an inspection commonly covers
- The roof covering, flashing, vents and penetrations
- Visible signs of leaks in the attic or on ceilings
- Gutters, drainage and, on flat roofs, ponding water
- A written summary, often with photographs
Questions to ask a contractor
- Whether there is a fee for the inspection and what the report includes
- Whether the report is suitable for the purpose you need it for, such as an insurer's form
