Our International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) and American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) certified inspectors are trained to inspect your roof. The inspector will check the exterior of the roof and the interior of the roof by attic access. They assess the roof’s overall condition, looking for signs of damage, wear, or potential leaks that could affect its performance. By carefully evaluating both the structural integrity and ventilation of the roof, they ensure no detail is overlooked. This thorough examination is a crucial part of the residential home inspection process, providing homeowners with a comprehensive understanding of their property’s condition. They will assess the condition of the roofing materials, check for signs of damage or wear, and ensure proper ventilation. Additionally, they will look for any potential issues that could lead to leaks or structural problems in the future. For homeowners or contractors, we also provide support using our new construction inspection checklist to ensure all aspects of the roof meet industry standards and safety requirements. Our thorough evaluation ensures that potential issues such as leaks, ventilation problems, or structural damage are identified. By conducting both an external and internal assessment, we provide a complete inspection services overview to give you peace of mind. Our goal is to deliver a detailed report, empowering you to make informed decisions regarding your home.
