What Our 21-Point Inspection Covers
Every evaluation follows a standardized 21-point checklist refined through years of assessing residential and commercial roofs across Clark County. Our inspector documents each finding with high-resolution timestamped photos, a condition rating for every checkpoint, and plain-language explanations that homeowners and real estate professionals can easily understand. The completed report is typically delivered within 24 hours of the on-site visit.
Structural Assessment
We evaluate ridge line straightness, rafter deflection, and visible signs of sagging or structural fatigue. Uneven rooflines can indicate compromised load-bearing components beneath the deck surface.
Decking Condition
Walking the roof surface reveals soft spots and spongy areas where plywood has delaminated due to prolonged moisture exposure. These areas need replacement before any shingle installation.
Shingle Surface Analysis
We check for granule loss patterns, curling or cupping tabs, cracked sealant strips, and lifted edges. Each finding tells us how much service life remains on the existing shingle system.
Flashing & Penetrations
Every pipe boot, chimney junction, skylight curb, and wall-to-roof transition gets individual attention. Flashing failures cause the majority of residential roof leaks in the Pacific Northwest.
Ventilation Balance
Proper attic airflow requires matched intake at the soffits and exhaust at the ridge. Inadequate ventilation traps heat and moisture, accelerating shingle aging from the underside.
Gutters & Drainage
We inspect gutter alignment, downspout placement, and drainage flow patterns. Clogged or improperly pitched gutters cause fascia rot and foundation water issues that extend well beyond the roof itself.
Who Benefits from a Professional Inspection?
Direct Answer: A professional 21-point roof inspection is vital for four primary groups in Clark County: home buyers negotiating closing credits, sellers seeking seamless transactions, homeowners filing storm damage claims, and property owners performing preventative maintenance to avoid catastrophic roof failures.
Home Buyers
Our certified report provides the objective condition data you need to negotiate price adjustments or request seller-funded repairs before closing. Real estate agents across Vancouver, Washington and Clark County trust our documentation for its accuracy and completeness.
Home Sellers
A pre-listing roof inspection report demonstrates transparency to prospective buyers and can accelerate the sale timeline. Minor repairs identified early prevent deal-killing surprises during the buyer's inspection period.
Insurance Claims
After storm damage, our documented photo evidence and written condition assessment provide the detail your insurance adjuster requires. We help you file a complete claim the first time to avoid drawn-out disputes.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduling an inspection every 3 to 5 years catches small issues like lifted flashing or moss growth before they escalate into costly structural problems. It is the most affordable way to extend your roof's useful life.
