Roof Condition Report
A Roof Condition Report is based on a visual
inspection of the roofing and roof-related sheet metal flashings.
The report also includes a visual inspection of roof-mounted appurtenances such
as skylights, fans, vents, and air handling units.
Photographs are embedded in the report to assist
in identifying the conditions and locations referenced.
Reports are usually provided in electronic format for ease of
storage and distribution, however printed copies are available on
request.
Unless previously arranged, a standard Roof Condition Report does not include
core samples or cut tests and is restricted
to visual surface observations. It is usually possible to
provide the desired information without cutting into the roof assembly.
Also please note that a standard Roof Condition Report does not
include budget figures for reroofing, unless previously agreed.
A Roof Condition Report will usually provide
the following information:
Identification of the types of roof assemblies
on the building, including information regarding slopes, drainage, and
sheet metal flashings.
In some instances, core samples or cut tests
may be required to determine the presence of roof insulation and
a vapour retarder.
The report will detail observations regarding
the general condition of the roofing.
It will also
indicate any obvious defects or problem conditions.
- Comments and Recommendations
The report includes comments and opinions as
to the general condition of the roofing. Noted defects and
problem conditions will also be addressed, usually with
accompanying pictures to assist in identification.
Note in many instances, The Owner is already aware
that the roofing is approaching the end of its service life and
requires replacement. In these cases, the initial report
may only be required to confirm what is already known, and to provide a
professional opinion. If it is known in
advance that roof replacement is necessary, it may be
advantageous to combine the Roof Condition Report with a Roof Replacement Budget
Forecast. A proposal and schedule for Project Management
Services can also be included at this time.
The report includes a snapshot summary of observations,
comments, and
recommendations. As all projects have unique facets, I
may also include additional comments and opinions that are pertinent to this
particular installation.

Roof Replacement Budget Forecast
A Roof Replacement Budget Forecast is
intended to indicate the approximate costs for installation of a new
roof assembly. If core samples or cut tests have not already
been taken, they may be required to at this time in order to
accurately determine existing conditions and requirements.
Budgets are based on current market
conditions and recent reroofing history of similar projects. Viable options may also be listed
with their approximate relative costs.
A concerted effort is made to be as
accurate as possible. Please note that the roofing market has been volatile in
recent years and variances from the figures provided are not
uncommon.
