Roof Inspections in White City, 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 White City may date to around 1968, 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 White City 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.

We photograph the roof and any wear, damage or installation problems we identify, then summarize the roof's condition in writing. We list repairs that need attention now separately from roof conditions you can monitor. We also describe the roof's condition and whether replacement appears to be approaching. You keep the written report whether or not you hire us for repairs.

We adjust the inspection to the roof's design, age and condition. On White City 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.
• Flashing: We inspect the metal flashing around chimneys, walls, roof edges, valleys and other joints. Loose or damaged flashing can let water into the roof even when the shingles are still in good condition.
• 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.
• 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.

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. 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. Check attic ventilationWe inspect how air enters and leaves the attic. Proper ventilation helps control heat and moisture and can reduce premature shingle aging and winter ice buildup.
4. Provide the reportAfter the inspection, we give you the photographs and a written summary of the roof's condition. You can keep the report, share the report with a buyer or seller, or provide the report to an insurance company.
