Home inspections are a crucial part of the real estate buying and selling process. However, it’s not uncommon for home inspectors to provide nothing more than a general overview of the roof without giving any real detail of the shape it is in. This is why realtors often call on specialized roofing contractors for a separate inspection that will give their clients all the information they need about a roof’s age and condition. A & J Quality Roofing proudly works with New Hartford, CT, real estate professionals to provide comprehensive reports on residential roofing systems.

A quick visual scan of a roof, which is what a typical home inspection consists of, is not enough to give realtors and their clients peace of mind about moving forward with a transaction. For buyers, it’s crucial to know if a roof has any damage or is near the end of its lifespan before making a big financial commitment. A realtor may also advise sellers to get a roof inspection to help sell the house in a quicker time frame, especially if it’s an older home competing with newer properties on the market. 

Roofing contractors perform certified inspections that realtors can count on to include an accurate evaluation of the roof in question. Their report will specify the current state of the roof, give an assessment of how many years it has left before it needs a replacement, and, if necessary, reveal a list of repairs that should be completed along with an estimate of costs. Once the realtor is provided with the full report, they can go over it with their client to determine which steps they should take next.

Hiring a roofing contractor is incredibly valuable to realtors, buyers, and sellers. Nothing can ruin a real estate deal faster than a problematic roof that hasn’t been taken care of.
