Roof Inspections in Goshen, Utah

If the installation date is unknown, the age of the house does not tell you how old the current roof is. A home in Goshen may date to around 1976, while the shingles could have been installed many years later. We estimate the condition of the current roof by checking the flexibility of the shingles, the adhesive bond between shingles and the amount of protective surface granules the shingles have lost.

You should have an older roof in Goshen 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 Goshen were built around 1976, 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.

We photograph the roof and any wear, damage or installation problems we identify, then summarize the roof's condition in writing. We list repairs that need attention now separately from roof conditions you can monitor. We also describe the roof's condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching. You keep the written report whether or not you hire us for repairs.

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

• Shingle adhesion: We check whether the adhesive strips still hold neighboring shingles together. Loose shingles are more vulnerable to wind and water.
• Eaves and gutters: We inspect the lower roof edge and gutter line for signs that water has moved behind the roofing materials or damaged the wood.
• Shingle layers: We check how many layers of shingles are already on the roof. On an older home built around 1976, previous roof replacements may have added layers, and the number of layers can affect the cost and scope of a future replacement.
• 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.
• Roof joints: We check the areas where the roof meets chimneys, walls, valleys, vents and other structures. We inspect the flashing and seals at these joints for openings or damage that could let water into the roof.
• Attic inspection: We inspect the underside of the roof from inside the attic. We look for water stains, damp insulation, rusted nails, daylight through openings and other signs of moisture or roof damage.

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 inspect the roof and attic, photograph the areas we checked and prepare a written report that explains the roof's condition. If the roof does not need repairs, we say so in the report. We document the condition we actually observe instead of assuming that every roof needs work.

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. Inspect the roof directlyWhen conditions are safe, we walk the roof and check the shingles, flashing and roof edges. We also feel for soft areas in the wooden roof deck underfoot. We cannot confirm some roof problems from the ground.
3. Inspect the atticWe look at the underside of the roof for water stains, damp insulation, rusted nails, daylight through openings and other signs of moisture. From inside the attic, we can see moisture or openings that may not be visible from the roof surface.
4. Provide the reportAfter the inspection, we give you the photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. You can keep the report, share the report with a buyer or seller, or provide the report to an insurance company.
