CERTIFIED ROOF INSPECTION
A report buyers, sellers, and agents can actually rely on
Whether you’re listing a home or making an offer on one, a roof’s condition shouldn’t be a guess. This is a full 21-point inspection with a written report — built to hold up in negotiations and give everyone at the table the same honest picture.

WHY IT MATTERS
PRE-LISTING
Know your roof’s condition before it’s on the market. Address issues on your terms, not during a buyer’s inspection contingency. If repairs are needed, you’ll have time to fix them or price them into the listing — instead of negotiating from a weaker position once an offer is already on the table.
Most often requested by listing agents and sellers preparing to go to market.
PRE-PURCHASE
Get a clear, independent read on roof condition before closing — so there are no surprises after the deal is done. Bring the written report to the table when negotiating price, repair credits, or seller concessions.
Most often requested by buyer’s agents or buyers directly, ahead of closing.

What’s in a real estate roof inspection report
Whether you’re listing, buying, or representing either side of the deal, here’s exactly what you’re getting. A real estate inspection report is a written, photo-documented record of a roof’s condition — built to be trusted by people who weren’t there. Its only job is to describe what’s true, not to sell a repair.
Summary of Findings — the plain-language overview most people actually read: overall condition, any active leaks, disclosure-relevant items, and estimated remaining service life.
Property & Roof Details — the objective baseline: roof type, material, age, layers, square footage, attic access, ventilation. Reference data, not opinion.
Findings by Zone — every checklist item organized by location, with what was observed and a condition rating: Satisfactory, Monitor, or Attention Needed. Skimmable, but nothing hidden.
Photo Documentation — every flagged finding gets a photo, so a buyer’s agent or attorney can verify the claim without taking our word for it.
Disclosure-Relevant Summary — a condensed list of anything that matters for a sale: what needs attention, estimated cost range, and urgency.
Inspector Certification — a signed statement confirming the inspection happened, on the date stated, by the person stated.
