A general home inspection often glosses over the roof. If you're buying a home in Maple Heights, getting a roofing-specialist inspection before close gives you a real read on remaining roof life and any negotiation leverage.
Roof inspections in Maple Heights reflect the housing — mostly from 1940s through the 1960s — so what we look for varies by property. Older homes get extra attention to flashing, decking, and accumulated layer depth; newer homes focus on storm damage and ventilation.
Maple Heights is primarily 1940s-60s postwar housing, dense, and most homes are now in their third roof cycle since original construction — the original framing on Cape Cods along Libby and Granger is generally sound but original 2x4 rafters at 24-inch centers are sometimes undersized for modern shingle weight, which we evaluate during tear-off.
Postwar Cape dormers are the recurring leak point — old flashing was often just tarpaper folded, and we strip and rebuild the flashing assembly every time.
