Roof Inspections in Eden, Utah

The age of an older home in Eden does not tell you when the current roof was installed or how much wear the current roofing shows. We inspect the current roofing materials and describe their condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching. We tell you whether the roof needs a repair now or whether you should start planning for replacement.

You should have an older roof in Eden inspected when you are buying or selling the home, when you do not know the roof's age, or when you want to plan for future replacement. Many homes in Eden were built around 1994, but the current roof may have been installed years later. We evaluate the shingles and roofing components that are on the home today and describe their condition in a written report.

When the roof is safe to access, we inspect the roofing materials from outside and check the underside of the roof from inside the attic. We compare the roof surface with the attic for signs of leaks, moisture, ventilation problems and hidden damage. We photograph the areas we inspect and give you a written report of the roof's condition. You can keep the report or share it with a buyer, seller or insurance company.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On Eden homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• Lower roof edges: We inspect the lower roof edge for loose shingles, damaged materials and signs that snow, ice or backed-up water has moved underneath the roofing.
• Shingle layers: We check how many layers of shingles are already on the roof. On an older home built around 1994, previous roof replacements may have added layers, and the number of layers can affect the cost and scope of a future replacement.
• Flashing: We inspect the metal flashing around chimneys, walls, roof edges, valleys and other joints. Loose or damaged flashing can let water into the roof even when the shingles are still in good condition.
• Wooden roof deck: When we can safely walk the roof, we check for soft or flexible areas underfoot. A soft area can indicate moisture damage in the wooden roof deck underneath the shingles.
• Attic ventilation: We check whether air can enter and leave the attic properly. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and may shorten the life of the roofing materials.
• Underside of the roof: From inside the attic, we check the wooden roof deck for water stains and other signs of past or current moisture. From the attic, we can see moisture or roof damage that may not be visible from outside.

We photograph the shingles, flashing, roof openings and attic, including any wear or damage we identify. In the written report, we include the photographs, describe the roof's condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching and list any repairs we recommend. We list urgent repairs separately from roof conditions you can monitor or plan to address later.

We schedule the roof inspection at a time that works for you, and you do not always need to be home. After the inspection, we send you photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. You can keep the written report for your records or share the report with a buyer, seller or insurer.

1. Tell us why you need the inspectionLet us know whether you are buying a home, checking for storm damage or evaluating the roof's general condition. We use that purpose to decide which photographs and details to emphasize in the written report.
2. Take photographsWe photograph the roof, attic and any areas that show wear or damage. We include the photographs with the written report so you can see the conditions we describe.
3. Inspect the underside of the roofWe look for water stains on the attic side of the wooden roof deck. We use the location, color and condition of attic stains to judge whether the moisture appears active, older or related to condensation.
4. Provide a written reportWe give you photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. We list repairs that need attention now, conditions you can monitor and our estimate of the roof's remaining useful life.
