Thank you for this information i received a notification about my roof that is 15 years old and told i was being dropped because of it.
Roof only have 2 yrs left get sellers to pay.
A certification will back you against any doubts about how many years the roof has left.
And will last 25 years or more.
As someone who only had two small claims several years ago washing machine leak then a year later dishwasher leak i do not consider myself a high risk client and have been paying for insurance all this time shouldn t the insurance company help finance.
All was well except for a bad roof that s 20 plus years old and needs repair.
If it would cost less than 100 to fix a problem don t waste your time asking the seller to fix it.
Roof certifications give buyers peace of mind.
If the useful life of your roof might come into question when you sell pay for a roofing specialist to do a maintenance service and then certify the roof for an additional three to five years.
All this kind of nitpicking does is drive up the overall cost of repairs and annoy the seller.
For a roof that is nearing the end of its life you might need to ask yourself this discerning question.
Durable affordable and easy to install asphalt shingles are the most common roofing type in the u s.
If i spend 800 on repairs now will i regret that in two years when they take the entire roof off and throw it in.
Roof repairs can be a great way to fix small problem areas in roofing systems that have many years left of life ahead of them.
The owners are buying another house and money for them is tight.
Many sellers are advised to provide a roof certification to the buyer as part of the sales process.
Will leaving the roof as is have a negative impact.
The roof should have a remaining physical life of at least two years.
Check your local laws to ensure you get what s required fixed.
Some sellers only want to fix things the law requires them to fix.
Can you afford the cost or will you need a home equity loan.
If you re only replacing shingles or part of the roof you ll want to match your existing roof material.
If the sellers agree to pay for the roof repair.
The appraiser must clearly state whether the subject is to be repaired or re roofed.
If sellers refuse to provide a roof certification and the roof is older home buyers might decide to pay for their own inspection and make it a contingency of the sales contract.
If the seller disclosed that the roof previously leaked you may have trouble getting her to pay for it.
You may want to investigate filing a claim to help pay the bill.
