Roof Inspections in North Ogden, Utah

The age of an older home in North Ogden 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 North Ogden 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 North Ogden were built around 1993, 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 North Ogden homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• Shingle adhesion: We gently check whether the shingles are still sealed to the shingles below them. A shingle can look normal from the ground even after its adhesive bond has failed.
• 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.
• Roof drainage: We check the roof edges, gutters and drainage paths to see whether water can move off the roof properly. Poor drainage can allow water to damage roofing materials and wood.
• Shingle layers: We check how many layers of shingles are already on the roof. On an older home built around 1993, 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 the attic has enough airflow. Poor ventilation can trap heat and moisture and can contribute to winter ice problems.

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.

Our roof inspections in North Ogden are free and usually take about an hour. We inspect the roof and attic, photograph the areas we checked and give you a written summary of the roof's condition. You are not required to hire us for repairs. If the roof does not need immediate work, we say that clearly in the report.

1. Choose safe inspection conditionsWe do not walk a roof when snow, ice, rain or other conditions make the inspection unsafe or keep us from seeing the roofing materials clearly. If needed, we reschedule for safer conditions.
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 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. Organize the report by priorityWe list urgent repairs first. We then list roof conditions you can monitor and work you can plan for later.
