Check vent/insul/deck/struct/plumb/wire/pests/moisture. Note damage, leaks, ventilation, & insulation. Photo any issues
Exterior Roof Inspection
Exterior roof inspections assess the visible condition, including damaged shingles/tiles, leaks, flashing, and gutters. Flat roofs require close membrane scrutiny: blisters, cracks, seams, and ponding areas. Check for rot, mold, structural issues, ventilation, and chimney condition. Document findings with photos, noting membrane type and condition. Prioritize safety and thoroughness.
Exterior Roof Materials
Meticulous documentation of the existing roofing system is essential. For color, capture well-lit photos from various angles, noting manufacturer and color names. If unknown, compare physical samples to color charts under natural light. A cut test requires careful removal of a small section, noting material layers, thickness, and degradation. Photograph the cut and surrounding area, recording markings. Additionally, document insulation type (fiberglass, foam, etc.) and thickness. Record fiberboard composition and condition (water damage, delamination). Specify the vapor barrier type (polyethylene, kraft paper) and condition (tears, punctures). During the cut test, examine underlayment and roof deck type (plywood, OSB, etc.). Ensure thorough documentation of all materials for accurate matching and assessment.
