Roof Inspections in Midvale, Utah

The age of an older home in Midvale 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 Midvale 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 Midvale were built around 1987, 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 inspect the shingles, flashing, vents, pipes, roof edges, gutters and attic. We photograph any wear, damage, moisture or installation problems we identify. In the written report, we explain the roof's current condition and describe its condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching.

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

• Shingle layers: We check how many layers of shingles are already on the roof. On an older home built around 1987, previous roof replacements may have added layers, and the number of layers can affect the cost and scope of a future replacement.
• Wooden roof deck: We check the wood underneath the shingles for soft or damaged areas. If we find damaged roof decking, we consider how much wood is affected when we determine whether the roof needs a limited repair or more extensive work.
• Attic ventilation: We check whether the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.
• 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.
• 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.

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. Compare the attic and roof surfaceWe compare moisture, ventilation and structural conditions in the attic with the shingles, flashing and roof openings above them. If we see moisture, poor ventilation or older water damage in the attic, we include those conditions when we evaluate the roof surface.
4. Organize the report by priorityWe list urgent repairs first. We then list roof conditions you can monitor and work you can plan for later.
