Roof Inspection in Riverton, UT

If an inspection report does not touch most of this, it was a sales visit with a ladder.

• Shingle condition by slope — granule loss, curling, cupping, exposed mat, and blistering, noted per plane rather than as a single overall grade
• All flashing: walls, chimneys, skylights, and every penetration, with attention to whether it is original or was reused at a previous reroof
• Valleys — debris, wear-through, and whether they were cut or woven
• Pipe boots and vent collars, which crack before almost anything else
• Ridge and hip cap condition and fastening
• Fasteners — nail pops, back-out, and evidence of underdriven or overdriven nails
• Eaves, drip edge, fascia, and gutters, including evidence of past ice damming
• Attic, where accessible: daylight, active or historic moisture staining, insulation condition, and whether intake and exhaust ventilation are actually balanced
• Decking feel underfoot — soft spots and deflection between rafters
• Any prior repair work and whether it was done correctly

Consistent late-1990s two-story stock on larger lots. Access is easy; the cost driver is roof area and the near-universal need for upgraded ridge and hip cap.

That range assumes a complete tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, new flashing, and ridge ventilation. A quote materially below it is usually missing one of those, not finding a cheaper shingle.

• Before selling, so a buyer’s inspector does not surface something that turns into a price negotiation you did not control.
• Any time you see an interior stain, however small.
• Every three to five years once the roof is past 15 years old.
• When your insurer asks for a roof condition report at renewal, which is becoming more common.
• After any wind event over about 50 mph, or any hail. Damage is often invisible from the ground and insurance claim windows are limited.
• Before buying a home, especially one with a roof over 15 years old. The general home inspection typically does not include walking the roof.

• Dated photographs of everything we flagged, taken on your roof, not stock images
• A written condition report by slope, not a single overall grade
• A realistic remaining-life estimate in years
• A prioritized list — what is urgent, what to watch, and what can wait several years
• Repair pricing where a repair is warranted, and a replacement estimate only where one is genuinely justified
• No obligation, no same-day pricing pressure, no "this price is only good today"

A lot of Riverton went up in the same building boom, on the same builder-grade shingles, at the same time. We are now replacing many of those roofs at 22 to 26 years, which is right about where a 25-year shingle in Utah sun actually gives out.
