An inspection also flags code deficiencies from prior work, such as missing drip edge, inadequate attic ventilation, or a second shingle layer that will force a tear-off at replacement time.
Roof Inspections Mistakes to Avoid
Only inspecting after a leak
Two inspections a year, spring and fall, catch flashing and boot failures before they reach drywall.
Accepting a verbal 'your roof is shot'
Ask for photos of each condition. A real inspection produces evidence you can compare against other bids.
Skipping the attic
Half of the useful evidence, including ventilation and active moisture, is only visible from underneath.
An inspection should end with clarity: what is wrong, how urgent it is, and roughly how many years the roof has left. That is the report we hand you.
