Ground-Level Observation
The inspection starts with a discussion about
roof age, past repairs, and any known issues,
helping the inspector prioritize areas to check.
Walking around the property, the inspector looks
for shingle granules, landscape changes, and
signs of drainage problems visible from the
ground.
Roofline Trim Check
Inspecting roof symmetry, fascia, soffits,
chimneys, and skylights from the ground can
reveal structural shifts, water damage, or aging
components.
