Executive Summary

This inspection was conducted on April 11, 2025, to assess the current condition of the asphalt shingle roof. The roof is approximately 12 years old and shows signs of moderate wear and aging. While the structural integrity of the roof remains intact, several issues were identified that require attention to prevent further deterioration and potential water damage.

Using our advanced CompanyCam and HOVER technology, we've documented all areas of concern with precise measurements and timestamps. This report details our findings and provides recommendations for necessary repairs and maintenance to extend the life of your roof and maintain your home's protection.

Gutters & Drainage

Material: Aluminum gutters

Condition: Poor

Significant debris buildup in multiple sections
Two downspouts clogged with organic material
East side gutter showing signs of separation from fascia
Improper slope detected on north side, causing water pooling
Gutter guards missing or damaged in several areas

Warning: Clogged gutters and improper drainage can lead to water damage to roof edge, fascia boards, and foundation. Immediate cleaning and repair recommended.

Condition: Good

Ridge vent properly installed with no visible damage
Soffit vents clear and unobstructed
Proper airflow confirmed in attic space

Inspection Method: Visual inspection from attic access

Condition: Excellent

No signs of water intrusion visible on decking
Decking boards solid with no soft spots detected
No daylight visible through roof deck
Underlayment appears to be functioning properly

Additional Recommendations

Schedule professional gutter cleaning and repair service immediately to prevent water damage to fascia and foundation.
Apply algae-resistant treatment to north-facing roof sections to prevent further growth and potential deterioration.
Schedule biannual inspections (spring and fall) to monitor roof condition and perform preventative maintenance.
Start budgeting for full roof replacement within 2-3 years, as the current roof is showing signs of age-related deterioration that will continue to worsen over time.
Consider upgrading to impact-resistant shingles during replacement to improve storm resistance and potentially qualify for insurance discounts.
