Roof Inspections in Roy, 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 Roy may date to around 1986, 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 Roy 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 Roy were built around 1986, 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 Roy 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
