When to book a pre-purchase roof inspection

Pacific Northwest roofs hide moss, layered shingles, and slow leaks until a buyer inherits the bill. These deadlines are when a documented visit pays off.

1

Under contract with an inspection contingency

We work within your due-diligence window and deliver photos plus written scope before you waive contingencies. See what a roof inspection includes for our checklist.

2

Selling a home with roof questions

Sellers use our report to price the home honestly or complete repairs before listing. We document conditions without marketing language.

3

Comparing repair quotes after closing

If you already own the home, a standard free roof inspection may be enough. Call (425) 758-9982 to confirm timing.

Roof report for negotiation—not a home inspection

We are roofing contractors documenting roof-system conditions. We do not perform whole-home inspections, structural engineering, or code compliance reviews outside the roof.

You receive photos, remaining-life context, and a written estimate for recommended work. Buyers use that scope with their agent; sellers use it to plan repairs or adjust price.

How pre-purchase inspections work

Schedule around your deadline

Share the address, closing date, and access details—we confirm inspection timing with your agent when needed.

On-site documentation

We walk the roof when safe, check attic indicators when accessible, and photograph conditions that affect near-term cost.

Written scope for negotiation

You receive findings and line-item pricing on repair or replacement so you can negotiate before closing.

Warranties on qualifying work after closing

The inspection visit is free when appropriate. If you hire us for post-close repair or replacement, qualifying work may include a 5-year labor warranty and a 30-year material warranty on eligible products.
