If your home was pre-owned, you probably don’t have all the information about its roof. A professional roof inspection can provide you with a comprehensive report of its condition.

Furthermore, you should ask the roofer questions to learn more about your roof. 

Residential Roof Inspection

In this article, roofing repairs expert Deschutes Roofing lists some essential inquiries you should make during a residential inspection.

What Type of Roofing System Do I Have?

Roofing systems vary in performance and durability. For instance, an algae-resistant roof material can prevent algae growth and last longer than other roof types. High-quality roofs may also have transferable warranties. That said, ask the roofer about the type of roofing system installed on your property.

How Old Is the Roof?

Old roofs require more maintenance. Over time, they will lose their integrity and become more susceptible to damage. Consider planning for replacement if your roof has been installed for over 20 years. A roof inspection can give you an idea of how much time is left before you need to replace your roof.

Is There Any Damage to the Roof?

It’s a must to keep your roof in good shape. Ask the roofer about any damage or issues, such as cracks, splits and attic molds. Your roofing and seamless gutter contractor should be able to recommend solutions to such problems as well. 

Is the Roof Built With Proper Roof Ventilation?

Good ventilation can extend the lifespan of your roof. It reduces overheating and excessive humidity by letting warm indoor air escape and fresh outdoor air enter. With reduced heat in your attic, the asphalt shingles will have better resilience and durability. 

It’s best to have a top-rated roofing contractor install, repair and maintain your roof and seamless gutters. Deschutes Roofing is a reputable company that delivers quality services.

We were very pleased with our service. We got three different estimates and we went with Deschutes Roofing. We also had a personal recommendation from friends. The roof was actually installed very quickly and efficiently.

We got in touch with Carlos on a Saturday desperate for help with our ice dams, as we had water actively running into the house. He got a crew together for us the next day.
