Roof Inspections in Morgan, 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 Morgan may date to around 1993, 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.

Three common reasons to schedule a roof inspection in Morgan are a home purchase or sale, a storm that damaged nearby roofs, and repeated repairs on the same aging roof. If the roof has already needed several repairs, we inspect the entire roofing system instead of looking only at the latest problem area. We then explain whether another repair appears reasonable or whether the overall roof condition suggests that you should start planning for replacement.

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 Morgan 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.
• Ice-dam damage: We inspect the lower roof edge for signs that melting snow became trapped behind ice. Trapped water can move underneath the shingles and damage the roof edge even when you never noticed an interior leak.
• 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 the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.
• Number of roofing layers: We check how many layers of roofing material are already installed. The number of layers can affect repair options and the cost of a future roof replacement.
• 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.

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.

Whether you are buying, selling or simply checking the roof, we follow the same basic process. We inspect the roof surface, flashing joints and vents, then check the underside of the roof from inside the attic. From the attic, we can see moisture, ventilation problems and damage that may not be visible from the roof surface. We include photographs and a written summary with the inspection.

1. No charge and no obligationThe inspection is free. If the roof does not need work, we say that in the report. You are not required to hire us for anything.
2. Inspect every roof slopeWe inspect every roof slope we can safely access, not just the area where you first noticed a problem. Wind, sun and weather can affect more than one section of the roof.
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 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.
