If you’re in the process of buying a new home, you’re probably dealing with a flurry of emotions. You’re excited about the future, but stressed about all that’s on your to-do list before you get settled. But amid all the shopping for new furniture and planning the landscaping, don’t forget to check the roof of the new house to make sure there’s no damage. Roof repair and replacement could cost you thousands of dollars, and it’s important to know what you might be dealing with before you seal the deal on your new home.
You’re probably not a roofing expert, and you’re not exactly sure what you should be checking for when it comes to the roof of your future house. Not to fear—we’ve compiled a roof inspection checklist to help you navigate unfamiliar territory. Here’s a list of questions to ask the realtor or owner about the roof:
Asking the right questions is the first step to making sure the roof is in good shape, but then it’s time to inspect the roof for yourself. Here’s what to look out for when you get up there:
You’ve asked all the right questions and done a thorough inspection. So what if you find some roofing problems that need to be addressed? The best option is to ask the current owner to make the repairs, or look into having your roof rejuvenated with Roof Maxx. If they’re not willing to do so, you can ask for a credit to get the roof fixed after you buy the house. A roof replacement should be your last resort, as most roofs that are replaced can be saved without such a costly project. You could also accept the situation as it is, or even walk away from the house if the costs are beyond your budget.
