?? What To Look For In A Roof Inspection ??

Hey Everyone, this is Geoff Green from the Arizona Real Estate and Home Services YouTube channel, I recently had the pleasure of interviewing my friend Chris Stinnett, who runs Foresight Property Inspections, about roof inspections. We discussed the top five things that Chris looks for during a home inspection and decided to focus specifically on the roof for this particular video.

Chris explained that the things he looks for on a roof will depend on the style of roof, but generally speaking, there are a few key things that he always checks. The first thing he looks at is the drip edge flashing, which helps keep water from running down the wood. Chris notes that it's important to make sure that the drip edge flashing is installed correctly to prevent water damage to the roof and the rest of the home.

Another thing that Chris checks for on a roof is the presence of overlay on a shingle roof. Overlay refers to the practice of installing a new layer of shingles over an old layer of shingles, and while it's technically allowed by building standards, it can cause issues with the weight of the roof and reduce the lifespan of the new shingles. Chris advises against it.

Chris also checks for the proper flashing in areas where the roof meets a sidewall or a wall of the building, which is especially important for tile roofs. Finally, he looks at the condition of the roof coverings themselves, checking for worn shingles, wind damage, and broken or cracked tiles, among other things.

For anyone interested in learning more about home inspections, Chris and I will be continuing our series on the top five things to look for during a home inspection by focusing on each of the other items on the list in future videos. We encourage viewers to reach out to Chris directly if they have any questions or concerns about their own home inspections.

If you're a homeowner or prospective buyer, it's important to understand the condition of the roof and how it might affect the rest of the home. By paying attention to the things that Chris discusses in this video, such as drip edge flashing, overlay, proper flashing, and the condition of the roof coverings, you'll be better equipped to make informed decisions about your home or potential home.?
