Reasons To Get A Roof Inspection When Selling Your House

1 year 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.

Our experience with Roofstar was very professional from the moment someone came out for the quote. They were the only company to get on our roof when they were initially quoting us. We really appreciated how thorough and professional they were. The crew working on our roof was very timely, clean and efficient. The quality of the roof exceeded our expectations. We could not feel happier about how it turned out! We will always refer Roofstar Arizona to friends and family! Our neighbor is actually going to get theirs done now because they saw the quality we received!

This is the second time I’ve used Roofstar for roof repairs. Jeff and Roofstar has been honest and fair with their prices compared to other companies however the big difference to me was with the customer service. Jeff Knudson, the owner, came out to our house personally to explain to me what the problem and the options were. Not everything was “urgent” or “required” to be repaired; some items were necessary and some were “nice to have” in order to prevent future repairs. I appreciated the honesty and the option to select the level of repairs that I needed and fit into my budget. Outside of some delays early on during the quote process, the work was completed timely and per the quote provided, no hidden fees or changes to the original quote. I am very happy with the work performed by Roofstar and will recommend Roofstar to any friends and neighbors requiring roof work.

The estimator, James, was very pleasant, thorough, and did a great job of explaining what was needed to repair our roof. We thought that the quoted cost was reasonable and decided to go with Roofstar. We are happy that we did. Juan Diaz and his crew did an outstanding job with the repair and cleanup. Everything was accomplished per the quote and at the quoted price. Very happy and will recommend Roofstar to any neighbors needing roof work.

From start until finish, Roofstar Arizona was the perfect choice for our house. We were given a very clear and thorough quote for the work our 30+ year old roof needed; we could’ve choose to ‘band-aid’ key areas and spend less, or we could spend the money and fix it right. We had saved and knew we’d have to spend a good amount of money for the work, but Roofstar was professional enough to offer choices. We had a slight miscommunication with regard to instruction with the on-site supervisor, and though we were able to easily clear things up, Roofstars’ owner Jeff drove himself to our home just to make sure our minds were at ease. Excellent touch. The workers were courteous and very thorough with the work. They stuck to the time needed to complete (we had good weather), and our home has a new roof, ready for the next 30 years. It looks great, and we have the confidence knowing the job was done right. Great work, guys. Highly recommend this company.

….03/2020–an update–we’ve had a few rainy days since the roof work–and everything is in fantastic order. These guys did a great job for us, and I know they will for you, too.

After a monsoon storm ripped off half our asphalt shingles, I got several quotes from Valley roof companies. Roofstar impressed me with their quote, attention to detail, and quality photos showing the job as a whole. I went ahead used Roofstar, who replaced the entire roof while I was out of town and did a great job picking up the trash, sealing the A/C unit, and affixing new drip edges. I had a small issue with the new trim not matching the old color and the owner, Jeff, was kind enough to come back out and paint the trim himself. Would I recommend Roofstar to friends and family? SURE! They stand behind their work.

Roofstar provides great customer service. I was able to text the office manager and our job supervisor when I had questions and their response indicated concern and a desire to be helpful. The work was done in a timely manner and is high quality. I would definitely recommend to others.
