INSPECTION GUIDE / ILLUSTRATED GUIDE
How should I prepare for a roof inspection?
Confirm the purpose, access arrangements, and the information you will receive.
Purpose
Explain whether the concern is a leak, visible damage, planning, or a real estate deadline. Different questions may require different inspection scopes.
Access
Agree on the authorized contact and any areas that can be accessed. Keep pets and occupancy needs in that conversation; do not climb onto the roof yourself.
Deliverables
Ask what written observations or photographs will be provided, any limitations, and any charge. This website’s sample is not a promise of a particular report format.
