Have you found your dream home? Before committing, have the roof inspected by a professional roofer. You know the saying: prevention is better than cure.
Couvreurs de l'Est gives you four good reasons to invest in a roof inspection which can prevent you from seeing your dream turn into a nightmare…
AN INSPECTION TO YOUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION
Signing an offer to purchase conditional on a home inspection to your complete satisfaction is essential. For the entire property, you can appoint a building inspector, but for the roof, opt for a professional roofer. Here are four reasons why you should have the roof inspected by a specialist:
A professional roofer is familiar with all types of roofs: asphalt shingle roof, flat roof, steel roof, etc.;
He knows how to identify present or future roofing problems;
It suggests fixes that can be made and determines their cost;
In case of disputes, its inspection report serves as your protection.
Does the roof need to be redone? Are there any urgent repairs that need to be done? If so, you can factor that into the purchase price. In short, the inspection of the roof by an expert roofer gives you a real idea of the value of the house.
THERMOGRAPHY: TO INSPECT THE INACCESSIBLE
The thermograph is a technological instrument that is very useful for examining inaccessible spaces when inspecting a property. This is an infrared camera that detects:
Heat loss;
Humidity;
Water infiltration;
Ventilation and insulation problems;
Electrical overheating;
The presence of rodents and insects;
Several other anomalies.
The main advantage of thermography? No need to open walls or ceilings to do an in-depth inspection. At Couvreurs de l'Est, we are proud to be able to offer our customers all the advantages of a thermographic inspection before buying a home.
SLEEP ON YOUR TWO EARS
Buying a home is often the biggest investment you will make in your lifetime. You don't want to end up with exorbitant heating costs, a leaky roof or a structural problem that affects the stability of the house, right? In this case, the best way to avoid living a real nightmare (and being able to sleep soundly every night) is to have the roof inspected by a professional roofer before buying the house.
