Part of this inspection will involve the roof. While we all want to move into a home with a new roof, this is not always the case. Homes and roofs come in all shapes, sizes, and ages.

- How many years do you estimate I can get out of the roof?
- Does it look like the homeowners performed regular maintenance?
- Are there any major issues with the roof?
- What can I do now (If the home is purchased) to get more years out of the roof?
- Are there any areas of the roof I should keep an eye on more closely?
- Are there any things related to the roof that need to be addressed (eaves, downspouts, etc.)?
