Roof Inspections in Taylorsville, Utah

The age of an older home in Taylorsville 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 Taylorsville inspected before you buy or sell the home and after severe winter weather. You may also want an inspection before spending money on other major home improvements. If we estimate that the roof is approaching replacement, you can account for that expense before you commit your budget to other major projects.

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 Taylorsville homes, we commonly check the following areas:

• 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.
• 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 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 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.
• 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.
