What is a Roof Inspection?
A roof inspection checks the condition of your entire roof and all of its subsystems. An inspector checks the roof coverings, flashings, drainage system, skylights, roof penetrations, and chimney.
The inspector will be looking for leaks, unusual wear and tear, damage caused by debris, organic growth issues, roof installation defects, and signs of previous repairs.
Our roof inspections are conducted by a certified home inspector who is trained to perform professional roof inspections.
At Golden Gate Home Inspections, all of our home inspectors are certified, by either InterNACHI, ASHI, or CREIA. They are trained to inspect each system of a home and are specialists in inspecting the wide variety and ages of properties in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our condo inspections are detailed and comprehensive

Why get a Roof Inspection?
A roof repair can easily cost you anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, making it one of the most expensive home repairs you could have.
A general home inspection will cover every room in your home and will take a close look at your roof, but if you need further assurance or suspect that there may be something amiss you may need a roof specialist to take a look to give you peace of mind.
A thorough roof inspection will include the observation and documentation of blistered or split shingles or tiles, missing or broken roof materials, metal that has rusted where the house meets the roof, proper ventilation to the roof itself, proper solar or air conditioner installation, corroded flashing, sagging between rafters and more. These types of observations can save you a lot of money and can help you make an informed purchase.
Roof Inspections are advisable every couple of years depending on the age of your roof. If there is damage to the roof that requires you to find a roofing contractor, be sure to get a few different quotes to compare. You do not want to pay more than you need to for repairs. Home inspections are an excellent place to start, but a thorough roof inspection can save you thousands of dollars.
Golden Gate Home Inspections offers different types of roof inspections to fit your needs. We understand the importance of roof and exterior inspections to the habitability of your home and we will provide you with a thorough report that will help you take action and quickly.

Foundation Cracking: Minor
Foundation cracking is normal in most homes. Sometimes the cracking is due to concrete shrinkage but sometimes it’s due to settling of the home or the lot itself. The cracks in this foundation would be considered minor and something to monitor over time. If this crack widens, then we would recommend contacting a structural engineer to evaluate the cause and propose suggestions for repair. If you’re concerned about the condition of your foundation, contact us to schedule a foundation inspection.
Rusted Scuppers can Lead to Moisture Intrusion
Rusted scuppers are a sign that the roof is in need of service. Rusted scuppers can allow moisture to go where it’s not intended. We recommend that all of the roof’s drainage elements be changed when you get a new roof.
