Residential Roof Inspection/Certification

COMMERCIAL ROOF INSPECTIONS CLICK HERE


The Roof Group’s Residential Roof Inspection/Certification process is performed prior to the closing of escrow on a home purchase transaction. The certification process involves a comprehensive roof inspection. Inspections are performed within 2-3 business days of an order or on a rush basis when needed. After the initial inspection is performed we determine if the roof requires repairs or if we can certify the roof for up to 2 years. If it is determined that we can certify the roof for the 2 years, we are guaranteeing the roof will not leak during this period of time.

There are a number of other factors that we cannot assume liability for such as extreme acts of nature (earthquakes, high winds, etc.), other contractor damage and tenant improvements. When we perform the initial inspection, the following is performed:

• Inspect overall condition of roof and provide rating of either Poor, Fair or Good

• Inspect all flashings (chimney/pipe/collars), valley areas and equipment (if any)

• Inspect drainage system, gutters, downspouts and perimeter edges/flashings and low areas (flat roofs)

• Inspect all eves and fascias and check for damage such as dry rot/termite integration

• Inspect roof top surface (shakes, shingles, clay/concrete tiles, cap sheet, gravel, foam or other surfaces)

• Provide a repair checklist with written inspection report

• Provide life expectancy of existing roof and components

• Provide budget numbers for maintenance and corrective action

• Provide digital photographic documentation of problem items

The Roof Group, Inc. will call and provide a verbal explanation of the roof inspection to the agent on the same day if needed. The prepared report is faxed or e-mailed and a hard copy is mailed to the appropriate parties. Billing can be sent directly to the Title Company or whoever is requested.

If it is determined that a certificate can be issued we will provide the inspection report and a two-year certification that can be transferred as needed. Separate fees apply for the initial inspection and for the Roof Certificate. If the roof requires repairs before a certificate can be issued, The Roof Group will aid in the repair process by referring qualified roofers in the area. An inspector from The Roof Group returns for a follow-up inspection once the repairs are performed. The certificate is valid from the issue date for two years. The fees are due upon each phase of the process or can be deferred at the end of escrow.

The fees for each of the phases vary depending on the size of the roof, number of stories and location. We perform our services on all types of roofs including wood shake, multiple shingle products, clay and concrete tile and all flat roof systems (BUR, PVC, Emulsion, etc.).
