Tomball Roofing Home › Services › Roof Inspections
Reasons
When People Ask for One
- Buying a house, especially one whose roof is older than the seller says.
- Selling, to fix small things before a buyer’s inspector lists them.
- A roof passing twenty summers, which on the newer subdivisions around Tomball is starting to be common.
- After a storm, when the damage is not clear from the yard. See the hail page for that case.
What Gets Checked
- 1
Shingle surface
Granule loss, cracking, curling, blistering and soft spots.
- 2
Penetrations
Vent collars, chimney and skylight flashing, satellite mounts.
- 3
Edges
Drip edge, rakes, ridge cap, and the fascia and soffit below them.
- 4
Attic
Stains on the decking, daylight at nail holes, and whether the vents actually move air.
- 5
Drainage
Gutters, downspouts and where the water ends up against the slab.
Home Inspector or Roofer?
A general home inspector covers the roof along with everything else, often from a ladder or the ground. A roofer walks it and knows what a repair costs. For an older roof, both are worth having.
