Reasons To Get A Roof Inspection When Selling Your House

7 months ago

When selling your home, you want to get the best price possible, especially in today’s current housing market. Most real estate agents recommend getting different inspections done on your home before going to market to increase its value and entice more buyers. A roof inspection should most certainly be included in this list.

By getting a roof inspection before selling your house, you’ll give potential buyers peace of mind over one of the most costly items of a house. Keep reading to learn more reasons to get a roof inspection when selling your house.

Why You Should Inspect Your Roof

Roof inspections are an extremely important part of home maintenance and should be completed regularly, whether you’re selling your house or not. Getting your roof inspected once every year will help you prevent severe damage to your home, save money in the long run, and guarantee a safe roof to potential buyers.

Inspection vs. Estimate

Not sure whether you need an inspection or an estimate on your roof? Here’s the main difference between the two:

An inspection is what you need if you’re not sure what’s wrong with your roof. A professional will examine your roof and determine the problem during an inspection.

A roofing estimate is a roofing contractor’s best guess on the cost of your total roofing project. Your roofer needs to know what’s wrong with your roof before giving you an estimate.

What are the 3 Signs that I Need a Roof Repair?

There are many telltale signs that point to needing a roof repair. But if you’re seeing the following three things, they’re sure signs that you need a roof repair:

Leaks in your attic, walls, or ceiling.
Missing, damaged, or broken shingles.
Mold or moss growing on your roof.

If you notice any of these signs, you should get a roof inspection right away so a professional can diagnose the problem.

How Can You Tell if a Roof Needs to be Replaced?

Some people often struggle between choosing to replace or repair their roofs. Deciding if you want to replace your roof requires you to consider a few questions. First, how old is your roof? If it’s 15 years old or more, it might be time to replace it, especially if you notice any damage.

The second question you need to ask yourself is: How long do I plan on living here? If you’re planning to move out soon, you might be able to get away with a repair – which is often the cheaper option.

Roofstar provided professional inspection and detail quotes on the repairs needed to be done for our properties. We collected a few quotes from different roofing companies for comparison. Roofstar repair cost was very competitive and reasonable. We ultimately chose to go with Roofstar because we felt confident that they would take care of the problems. They came back to correct the minor issue that we had and finished the job to our satisfaction without further questions. We would highly recommend Roofstar to our families and friends.

If you are looking for honesty and integrity, look no further. I just had Roofstar repair my roof and they did a great job. We had another company re-do our roof 6 years ago and we were not expecting to have issues. I had a few roofing companies come out and give us estimates on fixing what the other company did wrong. All of the other companies said we had to re-do our whole roof, quoting around $12,000. Roofstar was recommended by my brother who is an insurance agent. He said he has used Roofstar for the past 15 years and said Jeff the owner was the nicest and most honest person he has worked with. He recommends all of his clients to Roofstar.

Bill came out and looked at the roof and said we had a unique issue with the roof. He said he didn’t want to miss quote us and wanted to talk to Jeff (the owner) to get his opinion. The quote came in, but I had a question on how something was going to be fixed. Jeff (the owner) came out to my house and spent at least an hour looking at what need to be done. Tell me, what other company’s owner would come out personally and look at a roof??? Especially in the hot Arizona summer??? Not only did Jeff come out, he figured out that we only needed to repair 50% of the roof and saved us over half of what all the other companies were going to charge. Seriously, who does that these days??? Most companies try to over sell so they can make a larger profit, Jeff didn’t do that!

The crew was great, on time and very professional. They did a great job and made sure they cleaned up after they left each day.

It’s sad that we had to have our roof re-done after only 6 years, but now I feel safe knowing the job was done right.

Thanks to Jeff and Bill for the professionalism and the high level of integrity!

I will recommend Roofstar to all of my friends.

We just want to thank you (Jeff) and your employees for the excellent and professional job in replacing our tile roof. Your employee’s (Juan Diaz and crew) were diligent, neat, pleasant, worked independently and very competent. It was such a pleasure to do business with a company with such high standards. We would highly recommend your company without reservations.

Extremely pleased with our extensive roof repair work. The crew showed up early and we could hear them working on the roof all day for a number of days. The price was extremely fair for the scope of the job. I had other roofing companies give me a bid prior to Roofstar. But once Roofstar came out, inspected our roof and told us what needed to be done, I knew they were who we’d hire. They have integrity and honestly which is refreshing when hiring contractors.

Gail B.

We had work done last week, they were thorough, reasonably priced, on time, cleaned up after themselves, and provide before and after photos. They also have an inspector check the work after, they do not try to sell you things you do not need. I appreciate their honesty.

Melody H.

Work was completed. Crew (Geral Gordon and crew) was very professional, worked seamlessly and left the place in perfect condition.
