Return To Roofing FAQ Archive   Search the Archives What roof problems should I look for on the home I'm considering buying? Answered By Rae Fakner, Editor First, expect some leakage problems. Try to know the history of the roof by inquiring what materials are used in constructing the roof. Have a structural engineer or a person knowledgeable in this thing to explain to you how they constructed the roofing of the house you considering buying. Next, you look on the durability of the materials used. Structural engineers do have some standards on the materials they are using in roofing and at the same time computing for the life span of the materials used. There is a probability that different materials are used, so these are things that you also need to consider. Lastly, never forget that once you have occupied the house, that every day there is a possibility for roof problems. Just remember the things that you need to infuse in your mind in order to be prepared for any roof problems that you will encounter. --- permission must be obtained from editor Rae Fakner to re-publish --- Asphalt Roof Shingles Cedar Shingle Roof
