Home Buyer Roof Inspection

What This Service Involves

Before you commit to a home, this inspection reveals whether the roof is a near-term expense or years from concern. We estimate remaining life, uncover past patch jobs, and identify moss or moisture damage a quick showing walkthrough would never expose. Armed with that information, buyers can renegotiate, request repairs, or budget for an eventual replacement with eyes open. It is a small cost that routinely prevents a five-figure surprise after move-in.

Benefits

Avoid inheriting an undisclosed roof problem after closing; gain leverage to request repairs or price credits; learn the realistic replacement timeline before you buy; protect your inspection-contingency rights with documentation

Our Process

1) We review disclosures and the roof's apparent age; 2) we inspect for hidden repairs, leaks, and moss damage; 3) we estimate remaining service life for your budgeting; 4) we deliver a buyer-focused report within your contingency period

What Affects the Cost

Size and height of the home; complexity of the roof design and materials; whether an attic moisture check is included; how quickly the report is needed; distance to the property

Best Time of Year

Any time you're in escrow works, though scheduling early in your contingency window leaves room to act on what we find.
