Roof Inspections Before Buying a House

Hiring a roofing professional provides essential information about the property’s value such as whether a potential new home’s roof needs repairs or a replacement. Your home’s roofing system is it’s first line of defense against the weather. It protects your family as well as your investment. Even if your new home purchase is a more recent build, a professional and trusted roofer will verify that the roof was installed properly and explain any maintenance needs. Insurance companies also ask for updated information on the condition of your roof before and pricing can vary depending on the health and age of your roof. Ideal Precision Roofing can help with any inspections you may need during this important process. We will look for signs of damage—broken, peeling, or missing shingles, rotting wood and any other wear and tear from weather or age. It is very important to check for moisture damage and may even need to see the interior of the home to ensure no water damage or leaks in the home. Making sure the soffit, fascia, vented areas and skylights are in good condition is also very important when inspecting a roofing system. The professionals at Ideal Precision Roofing will also check for leaves and debris that might be clogging the gutters. Tree limbs around the home could also compromise your new home’s roofing system and an inspector could recommend trimming or cutting down branches that are in the way.

If the inspector notes that the roof needs major repairs or a replacement, we can help you with an estimate for costs and the next steps to getting your home safe for your family’s move.
