What to Look for in a Roof Inspection
Roof Inspectors Spot Deficiencies that Will Lead to Problems
Northern Californian homeowners require roof inspections for various purposes, mainly to determine the condition and life expectancy. Since a roof does more than protect your home from the elements, you should hire an expert inspector to evaluate the state of the roof covering.
External Evaluation
What does an inspector look for during a Roof Inspection in the Bay Area and Northern California:
