When you’re buying (or selling) a home, there’s a ton flying at you. Paperwork. Deadlines. Decisions. It’s easy to assume the roof’s “probably fine.”

But if you skip the roof inspection?
You’re gambling with one of the most expensive systems in the house.


Why Check the Roof Before You Buy

A standard home inspection doesn’t go deep enough. Roof issues like leaks, poor ventilation, or botched repairs often slip through—and can cost you thousands later.

A proper roofing inspection covers:

  • Shingle condition + install quality
  • Flashing, underlayment, and ventilation
  • Signs of hidden leaks or patch jobs
  • How much life the roof has left

 Buyers → This info arms you for smart negotiating (credits, repairs, etc.)
Sellers → A clean report builds trust and keeps deals from falling apart at closing


Just Moved In? Don’t Skip the Roof Check.

Even if the roof looks fine (or was just replaced), don’t assume all is well. Some new roofs cut corners—or aren’t new at all.

A post-move inspection helps you:

  • Verify recent repairs or storm restoration work
  • Confirm listing claims match reality
  • Catch attic humidity or moisture early
  • Plan for future upkeep with real data

It’s about knowing what you own—so you’re not blindsided in 6 months.
