Roof inspections

An inspection records the covering, flashings, ventilation and visible decking; it is not a guarantee of remaining life.

What this covers

Inspections for buyers, sellers and insurers and after storms, with photos and a written condition report.

Before the roofer arrives

• Stay off the roof, especially when it is wet, icy or after a storm.
• Put buckets under drips and move belongings and electronics away from wet ceilings.
• Photograph damage inside and, from the ground, outside — useful for an insurance claim.
