I am proud of my service, and trust that you will be happy with the quality of my report. I have made every effort to provideyou with an accurate assessment of the condition of the property and its components and to alert you to any significant defects or adverse conditions. However, I may not have tested every outlet, and opened every window and door, or identified every problem. Also because my inspection is essentiallyvisual, latent defects could exist. I cannot see behind walls. Therefore, you should not regard my inspection as a guarantee or warranty. It is simply a report on the general condition of a property at a given point in time. As a homeowner you should expect problems to occur. Roofs will leak, basements may have water problems, and systems fail without warning. I cannot predict future events. For these reasons, you should keep a comprehensive insurance policy current. This report is only supplemental to a seller's disclosure.

The shingles installed are dimensional shingles. Th is is probably not the best choice for the 2/12 slo pe. There is a missing shingle and deterioration in the valleys. And the o verall installation appears shoddy, further evaluat ion by a professional roofer is highly recommended.

Roof deck is sagging is several areas and appears t hat it is only 1/2". The sattelite dish mounted to the roof should be removed and the holes repaired, these are known to cause leaks in the roofing system.

At least TWO years remaining life can be reasonably expected based on normal life expectancy and condition at the time of the inspection.
