Is the roof inspected during a home inspection?

Bender inspecting a roof

Yes! A home inspector will check many items during the inspection, One of the main items will be the roof. A roof replacement can cost an average of $15,000 for a 2,000 square foot home in California. That is a huge cost that can be avoided with a good home inspection before escrow closes. If issues are found during an inspection, it will allow the seller to negotiate or walk away.

What do I look for on the roof?

• Cracked or damaged roofing materials

• Cracked or damaged shingles

• Exposed fasteners in roofing

• Cracked or damaged seal around vent and flue pipes

• Deterioration of roofing surface

• Areas of ponding on roof surface

• Algae growth or debris on surface

• proper installation of roof flashings

• Skylight lens and housing (if applicable)

In our fully digital report, pictures included, I will state what type of roof covering materials are used and any possible issues found. A roof inspection is included in all of our residential inspections.
