Roof Inspections

Roof Inspections are usually required by lenders and asset managers prior to sending out capital repair requests. The reason for this is usually to prevent large change orders after a capital repair has been approved. The roof may look from the interior ceilings, or may look fine from the ground level but a more detailed roof inspection is required to properly assess the lifetime of a roof. A good roof inspection starts with a good interior inspection of all ceilings. Looking for water seepage, signs of leaks, or discoloration. Carefully checking roof sheathing in the attic also helps determine if water has penetrated the roof shingles. Finally a good review of the exterior shingles, flashing, gutters, downspouts rounds off a well inspected roof.
