In my years of experience, I have seen it all- and one of
the big factors that can stop a purchase
or sale is the condition of the roof.
A big budget expense, roofing is inspected, and often has an impact on
the sale itself, or the price of the home for sale. Roofing materials and labor can be costly-
and if not done properly the unfortunate issues will undoubtedly arise!
The roof is in place to ensure your home is protected from
the elements, but the space itself has to be able to breathe! The air between your ceilings and your roof
has to circulate- which is done so by ensuring proper ventilation and also
proper placement of insulation. If not
completed and regularly checked, issues with sitting moisture can lead to mold.
It is also important to ensure your vent for the bathroom
fans, and even dryer vents, are properly releasing- and not just into your
attic space! When properly done, these
will release the heat and moisture out of your attic space. It may also be
necessary to call in a mold remediation specialist, in order to have any mold
removed if it exists.
When purchasing
a home that has existing issues it is always a good idea to have them
thoroughly researched. Even the best
home inspectors will recommend that a roofing professional visits the home to
look. In some cases, it is even
necessary to call upon a mold remediation specialist as well for inspection.
As always, I am able to provide trusted
resources and years of experience to each situation, and would provide a
second set of eyes to the reality and urgency of the matter!
