Why should you opt for a roof inspection before
purchasing a new house?

• Buying a new home is likely one of the biggest
  decisions in one's life. Thus, nothing should be
  hurried as it's important to get things inspected
  the very first time to have a clear idea of the
  actual state of any particular house.
• Because roofs are so expensive, and considering
  how integral roofs are to protecting a home, we'd
  suggest getting them inspected before making any
  final decision. Roof inspections are the most
  important aspect of any prospective house
  purchase. It helps prevent big repairs by finding
  problems early on and can save you thousands of
  dollars in the long run.

us. Our certified roof appraisers will be able to

• The expected life of the roof
• In Australia, roofing materials come in a wide
  range of colours and styles. However, the most
  common roofing materials found in Australian
  homes include
• Metal/Colorbond Roofs
• Terracotta Roofs
• Tiled Roofs
• Cement Roofs
• Terracotta Roofs
• Each of these materials come with its own unique
  quality, durability, price, and effectiveness
  that will ultimately help you determine which
  roof is right.
• Metal roofs are known for their endurance,
  beauty, and durability. A well-maintained roof
  can last for decades, but metal roofs aren't
  indestructible. On the other hand, tiled roofs
  greatly resist fire, storms, lightning, and hail
  and come with an average lifespan of 20 to 50
  years, based on their maintenance.
